Returned my Apple Watch for the Fitbit Versa, here's why
I purchased an Apple Watch because I've got an iPhone (I'll probably change soon but right now, I have an iPhone). I figured it made the most sense. I'm not reviewing the Apple Watch here but here are the facts: the Apple Watch doesn't have an online dashboard to view/analyse your results/runs/heart/sleep - Fitbit does. In fact, the Apple Watch doesn't even have a built in sleep monitoring function (yes, 3rd party apps exist, but that's besides the point), you have to charge the Apple Watch around once every day, or second day if lucky. The Fitbit versa? 3-4 days between a charge, and it has built in sleep tracking.It's extraordinarily hard to dislike the Fitbit versa. It doesn't set out to be a smartwatch, although it does have smartwatch features e.g it'll vibrate/notify you of an incoming SMS/iMessage. But if you're like me, and go walking, running, do martial arts, or swim, then you'll seriously want to consider the Fitbit. The heart rate monitoring is continuous, unlike the Apple Watch which only monitors once every 10 minutes. This means you'll get much more accurate, actionable data. Connected GPS works like a dream - and saves battery power. How does it work? You simply swipe over to 'exercise' and tap it, then select the activity you want to do e.g run, and then hit the gear icon in the top left of the watch. A small menu pops up and if you scroll down, it allows you to use 'connected GPS'. Simply clicking the left button on the Fitbit Versa takes you back, then you start your walk/run. It's much easier than I make it sound.Why people complain about connected GPS I'll never know. It saves a tonne of battery power. When I used GPS on alternative watches (Microsoft Band, Apple Watch etc), it would drain the battery. The Versa holds up well in that department. I usually go on 3x 20-30 minute dog walks per day and I lose maybe 5% - then when I get home, simply sync the Fitbit app and you can instantly see a map of your walk on your phone. If you want to, you can log into Fitbit's online dashboard and see the map of your walk there. Additional information includes heart rate during walk along with further information such as pace, calories, elevation and impact on your day in terms of how many steps you took on your walk vs how many steps you intended to do that day.A bit more on battery life: I charged my fitbit on 29th May at 2pm to 100%. It's currently on 52% battery (31st May) after: 101 minutes of exercise on 29th, including 7 GPS walks, each around 20-30 mins each, and 6 workouts.... and 2 nights sleep tracking, 2x alarms and notifications when I get texts.....insane battery life!The product feels pretty good quality and so far, I've enjoyed every second of it. The home screen 'face' that comes as standard allows you to tap and it'll show you heart rate BPM, steps and calories, or you can go onto the Fitbit app and choose from hundreds of watch faces. In short: this is a watch for fitness people. This isn't a smartwatch per se, it's not a gimmick.Overall, it has great battery life, great fitness features, great online dashboard, water resistant to 50m and a fantastic app to go along with it. Easily worth the money and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Have had the Apple Watch and Garmin Fenix 3 - here's why Fitbit won me over.
It all started when I was given a fitbit charge 2 from my work in April '17. At the time I had a Fenix 3 which I loved, but really admittedly I was not probably their typical target audience outdoorsy type triathlete who hikes a hundred miles every weekend and cycles 20 miles to work. No. I didnt do much at all. But I did love that it was a good looking smart watch. Before that I had an Apple watch, which didnt last long because charging another device EVERY day is just torture.So I gladly received the Fitbit and thought what the heck I will give it a try. For a couple weeks I wore it alongside my Garmin.The Fitbit sleep tracking and app were immediately a long way ahead of anything else I had tried. The App is very slick and really easy to use. Garmin's on the other hand must have been designed and built by a developer - not a user. By turning off notifications and auto wake to the display, you can get just over a week out of it too. (Ok the Garmin won there with about 2 weeks)Here's the clincher though. The interactive and social element of the Fitbit app had my colleagues around the world participating in step challenges, and who knew, I am quite competitive so things got quite heated and we all found ourselves doing things like going for long walks just before midnight to get an edge on colleagues. Soon I had friends joining too, and not long after that I joined the gym and started running on a treadmill 2 to 3 times a week. That was just over a year ago and I have stuck at it. Having now lost quite a bit of weight and I have honestly never felt better. The weekly step challenges havent stopped and nor has the satisfaction of occasionally winning them.So for me, this was the next step. Buying one which does a bit more, and arguably looks a bit better. I still think they could look better (the Garmin was a very handsome watch - but a bit too heavy and on the big side), and maybe one day they'll release something a bit more masculine.I am very very happy with this Versa. It does more than I expected (or need) and I really love that it has the customisable faces and includes all the things I found useful and loved about my Charge 2. I went for the special edition as I like the idea of a cloth strap. Sleeping with the Charge 2's rather grippy rubber strap wasn't the best and this watch is very comfortable to wear sleeping.I have read some reviews that claim it is light and feels cheap because it's very light - I disagree and would count the light weight as a pro because it is essentially a device some owners never take off, so like a well made pair of sunglasses - you almost dont want to know you are wearing it! And it does do just that.I've only had it a short time and I was a bit concerned about the 4 day battery life, but I have squeezed a week out of mine by immediately turning off notifications and auto wake for the display, plus I tend not to muck around with all the many other features I am sure most people will use and love- for me those are gimmicks and notifications were novel on my first Apple watch - but then just a distraction and can be invasive.One gimmick I do like (more as a novelty) is being able to control my Phillips Hue lighting from the watch, my inner 10 year old boy loves that kind of thing.Hope this helps you make the decision to buy one, I personally cant recommend Fitbit enough. I almost owe them my health in a way.

The best fitbit - period!
Firstly let me say that I am a former fitbit charge hr, Fitbit charge 2, Fitbit blaze and fitbit ionic owner. I chose to get rid of my fitbit ionic in place of my fitbit versa and i can confirm that I made the right decision. My review will focus on the bare essentials of this device and my opinion of them.DesignThe design of the versa is beautiful. I opted for the lavender version which gave me a rose gold brush on the metal of the casing. The softened edges aid in the overall aesthetic of the watch, making it slightly resemble an apple watch. I'm using a 3rd party strap but I can say for the woven strap that comes with the special edition, it looks awesome - it's not something I'd recommend for sports but if you're after a stylish accessory to a smart-casual outfit or even just smart, this will fit the bill perfectly.There are almost an unlimited number of watch faces to chose from due to developers being allowed to create and share their own designs. As such, you're not limited to a select few. I change my design up every now and then and I appreciate the number if designs on offer.PerformancePerformance is as expected for a premium fitbit device. It performs flawlessly under any circumstances. I've never seen the interface lag or freeze and there is a very satisfactory amount of fluidity for this device.BatteryTo charge this device, there is a proprietary charger which is arguably one of the easiest to use. On a full charge, I get about a week. I use this quite a lot for exercise so being able to get this kind of battery life is great. Charging takes around an hour from 0-100.HRHR is brilliant as always from a fitbit. Unlike the blaze and actually the ionic, where it sometimes got confused with my heart rate, the versa is great at identifying my heart rate and giving me real time knowledge. Sleep tracking is just as good as before, being able to distinguish awake, light, deep or REM stages of sleep.PriceThe price is high but for the price, you are getting a gread deal for the price. You have the most recent interface and software and a design that screams 2019. It's performance is the best a fitbit has ever been and the battery life is enviable from other brands. I wholeheartedly recommend this fitbit for anyone and believe its worth the investment.

Hardware: excellent. Software: needs a LOT of work
I had a Pebble. I liked my Pebble. But then two things happened: Fitbit bought the company and my Pebble's battery died. However, I loved it. It did all I wanted - it tracked my sleep and put notifications on my wrist. It also measured my steps and while at the time it was more for interest only, I definitely liked the feature. The thing I absolutely LOVED about it was its long battery life and the fact that it had an e-paper display meant it was even more readable in bright sunlight.So because I felt I needed to replace my now-defunct watch I did some homework and decided that if Fitbit had bought the company that made my favourite watch, maybe they would be a good bet for a replacement.Let me very briefly summarise my thoughts:Good:* Has a similar feature set to the Pebble* Long battery life. (While it's maxing out at around 4 days per charge, it's not a patch on the Pebble's 7 plus days)* Clear display that, while it's not as good in sunlight as the Pebble, is at least above average for an LCD screen* Reasonable feature-set in the phone app (though see below in the bad section)* A good and growing selection of replacement watch faces and watch apps* Given that I now want to get fit, it has a very welcome set of fitness features that are comprehensive (and given that Fitbit made their name for fitness devices I would have been upset if not!)Bad:* The phone app is excellent in places and absolutely chronically and nonsensically awful in others* The battery life is similarly variable. I've had it needing charging after 3 days all the way up to 5 - and with no appreciable change in usage there's no clear indication why the variance* The operation of the watch is confusing and very unintuitive with the only consistent feature being the "back" button* Sometimes I get notifications but most often I don't* My phone will frequently become disconnected from the watch needing me to reset Bluetooth or stop and start the app to get it syncing again* You can only keep one watchface at a time. I will explain that in much more detail below* It doesn't have built-in GPS (this didn't bother me at all, but if this is a deal-breaker for you and you don't mind the retro-styling, you might consider the more expensive Ionic.)* The Fitbit supports watch payments rather than getting out your card, however I think I heard that only one bank (Santander) supports this serice in the UK which makes it rather pointless.Basically, when it comes to the hardware, apart from not really getting on with the combination of swipes and button pressing needed to operate the watch, I really find it difficult to fault the hardware itself. I really like the look and while I did consider the Ionic at one point I decided the Versa was likely to be better for me, and so far, after just under 2 months of use, I've yet to regret my purchase.The software is a completely different story. I've read numerous customer and other reviews, blog entries, help requests and so on to know that I'm not the only one. It isn't all bad, but when it's bad, it seems to be pathetically so because you would have thought that if I found many of these problems within my first 24 hours, the authors would have found and more importantly fixed them before release - or at least by now!First big gripe: when you look at the sleep tracker on the first day (when there is only one entry), navigate away from that display and back again, you have now 2 entries... and you can keep doing this. It's not bad as such but until you realise what's going on it's ultra confusing. The same thing happened to me just today with the Exercise screen where navigating away I suddenly had my latest recorded exercise appear twice... three times... and so on. It gets more annoying in this case because it takes more to scroll to previous records.The Pebble software showed daily steps as a graph which meant that at a glance you could see when you weren't moving much and also overlayed your overall average so again you had a pretty good idea how you compared. The Fitbit app doesn't do that. Instead it shows some very uninformative bar chart and is only available for the current week.On the plus side (for me) the sleep tracking is very comprehensively supported and while the primary sleep graphs are difficult to use they've very cleverly broken that down into the separate Awake, REM, Light and Deep sleep periods.The Fitbit will recognise when you're doing something it thinks is exercise and add an entry as such. When it does this it records basic details as best as it can. Better still, however, is telling the app that you're about to exercise by either pressing the big red plus on the main page or the add button on the exercise screen. But if you scroll the main screen up, the big red plus disappears for no apparently good reason. The other problem I've found - which may not make a difference in real terms but is still hugely annoying to me - is that even though I explicitly pick "Walk" (I'm not a runner and never will be) when you finish, it labels it as "Run". The other annoying thing is that if you want to do something on the treadmill, the app doesn't let you. It gives only three options: Walk, Run and Hike. If you want to do some treadmill work, you have to select it from the watch itself. In my mind this is the wrong way around... you can imagine a more limited set of options on a small screen and a bigger one on the phone but that isn't the case. By the way, from the watch you can choose Bike, Treadmill, Run, Weights, Swim, Interval Timer and Workout. I'm afraid I only know what Walk and Treadmill do as I don't think I'll ever need them and certainly haven't tried them to date.While I'm talking about the Exercise option, there are two things to note: as I said, when the watch/software identifies that you've done some, it will record some basic details, but if you actually pick a Walk for instance, it will map your route. I really like that option, though it's reading of the GPS seems very flakey at times. The caveat is that while the Fitbit is recording the walk, it has just two screens: a map you can't interact with and is frequently fuzzy because it has been unable to download the map data in time, and another showing your distance, total time and pace. This is annoying and it would be really nice if you could toggle between speed and pace, though. I don't think in pace, I think speed and so I have to carry around a conversion chart I made for the purpose. When you press the Finish button, it displays a screen showing various information about what you've just done. But once again the testers at Fitbit have let us down and most of the information is blank or unavailable. In order to see it, you have to come out, pick Exercise again and pick the entry you just made, at which point you have access to it all. But once again something really screwy is going on. No matter what I do, the calories chart ALWAYS seems to drop to nothing about 10 minutes before the end of the period and the pace for the last split time is much much higher (and therefore slower) than I know. I once tried to trot the last minute and it made no difference at all.And then there are the watchfaces. This surprised me the most. What REALLY surprised me was finding a question about it on Fitbit's own website - someone else complained about the same issue, were told to raise a Support Case which they duly did, and then the Case was close without resolution or explanation shortly afterwards. Yet this is so infuriating. The Pebble had an app/watchface store where much cleverer people than myself had taken the SDK and produced some really amazing replacement watchfaces. You find one you like and download it. You find another, and there it is in your list of personal faces. If you get bored of one, you can very quickly and easily change to another. And if you find you need another, back to the app store, and so on. Fitbit do most of that, but they've left out the MOST important aspect of that. I literally spent 90 minutes looking at watchfaces. I have no idea how many I looked and and I have no idea how many I never got to see. But foolishly I also never checked to see what was happening to the ones I downloaded - which was almost nothing. OK, so the watchface I chose downloaded pretty immediately onto the watch, but when I went to see which faces I had picked..... there wasn't anything to see. There is NO local registry of what you've downloaded. So in effect I spent 90 minutes for nothing. If you know the name, it's possible to search for it, but if you don't you've had it. So I would advise that if you spent an eternity looking through what's on offer, WRITE DOWN THE DAMN NAME!! It will save you lots of pulled out hair and swearing. Of course Fitbit could actually fix this - stranger things have happened.I'm sure there are a few other niggles I've bumped into along the way but if you've managed to get this far, I suspect you'll agree I've gone on far too much already.Suffice it to say that if I could give two scores, one for the watch itself and another for the phone app, I would give 5/5 for the watch and 2/5 for the app. Luckily, if they hire some programmers with some real skills and intelligence then the software can be fixed, and at least with a decent bit of kit, that's the right way around.

The Fitbit Pebble.
Pros:Looks great.Large customization options.Lots of fitness tracking and stats.Great price.Decent battery life.Water resistant (50m - could be wrong).Local MP3 files can be played from the watch directly to Bluetooth headphones.Cons:Costs of customization.Standard plastic/rubber strap can be painful, especially catching hairs etc.Lack of Fitbit Pay support in the UK.WiFi temperamental (Bluetooth fine).Streaming platform seems to be limited to Deezer (paid subscription).Some time ago, I owned an original Pebble smart watch. It was a brilliant little thing. Limited, sure. It only had a monochrome screen, it only had so much functionality. About the only fitness features it had was the ability to count steps or biking or swimming. But you could have custom watch faces, different apps (albeit there was limited space for them, literally in the kilobytes I belive), it could control things via Bluetooth like your music, and so on. I loved it. At the time when I had one, it was quite late into the Pebble lifespan, and there were other models. Time, Steel, Round, and had colour screens too. There was even a second version of the original Pebble being released. When my Pebble broke (water ingress, ironically, considering it's water resistant to 50m I think) I went looking for help. What I found made my heart sink. Pebble was all but dead in the water. They had been bought out by Fitbit, only very basic support was being offered, nothing hardware based. There was nothing I could do. Nothing else seemed to come close for me. Sure, there were fancier options, like the Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy watches, etc. But they're also expensive. Pebble was fairly well featured and much more reasonably priced, in my opinion.My experience of Fitbit, at this point, was limited and unimpressed. My wife had a Surge. It too had a monochrome screen, but was more fitness based, other than swimming, and had limited personalization options, coupled with an absolutely abysmal battery life. After a while the strap started to disintegrate and it no longer works at all now.This year, which is a few years since all of that happened and I have been largely watchless, my wife asked for a fitbit Versa for her wedding anniversary present. I got her the special edition purple thing which as it turns out, in the UK at least, is only special in one aspect: its strap. In the US I'm given to understand that the default Versa doesn't have Fitbit pay, the special edition does. In the UK, its on the standard Versa, but not the Lite. And you're not missing out much. UK support for Fitbit Pay is laughably limited.Initially I didn't think too much of it. It looked nice enough. The screen was nice. It was, as far as I was aware, a fitness tracker of sorts. And then I found out that you could change the watch faces. But, this time, it wasn't just limited to a few like her Surge was. An entire store, not unlike the Pebble. In fact, I saw watch faces I recognised from back then. OK, consider me interested. Then there's the app store on it. Apps? Like the Pebble? What? And this time, you're not limited to only a few KB. The Versa gives you about 2.5GB to play around in.Alright. So, let's make an educated conclusion. Fitbit purchased Pebble, including migrating some of the staff over. For a while it seemed they didn't seem to be doing anything with it. It was just a thing they owned. As far as I can tell, Fitbit models up until the Ionic/Versa cannot do this. They have a set number of watch faces, apps or features, and not much else. The Ionic, just so you know, is identical to the Versa in almost every way apart from two differences: it has GPS built in, the Versa uses your phone. And its screen is a slightly different shape and resolution. Other than that, they do the same. So, Fitbit, it seems, has taken on board some of this "Pebble" stuff and even allows people to create stuff themselves. The downside to that is you need to code it. Which is done, by and large, in JavaScript, CSS, and such. Pebble had a website where it did it for you, almost. Although it had its limits.All of that aside though, I've been genuinly please with it. It should have been called the Fitbit Pebble. It is essentially what it is. Fitbit + Pebble. Part of me still has a place for the monochromed original Pebble, I will always love that thing. I'm not expecting everything to be the same. For example, the Pebble could last nigh on a week, more if you limited things like it's connectivity. This has an advertised 4 days or so. I'd expect around 2 to be the norm, I'm certainly not expecting any more, but if they changes, I'll update. As far as the fitness tracker stuff goes, I'm not too interested in it, but it has been interesting monitoring sleep, and steps, and setting targets. Although with steps, I imagine there's a +/- margin for error, so you might have done more/less than it tells you, but roundabout that area.The only downside for me personally, is extra costs. 99% of watch faces cost money. Yeah, from £1 to £5 for a bundle of them, which might not seem like much, but it adds up, and you can't use Google Play credit or other payment methods beyond credit/debit cards and possibly PayPal. As it is, I shelled out for one called "Classic Digital Faces for Versa" becuase I like that Casio kind of digital look, but even that is limited and has only slight variances that could have just been made into one customisable watch face.A general downside that can affect everyone is that during setup, you're asked to configure a WiFi network, which I've found to be temperamental at best, and may be fixed with a future update. As far as I can tell, it doesn't actually affect too much, mainly the addition of local mp3 music and a couple of apps. But you do need to be close to your router. Presumably because the watch is fairly low power and can't really communicate that far. I've also found that the strap that comes with it (at least the black one, can catch on arm hairs and can get a bit sweaty and uncomfortable.

Works well with my android despite not a Fitbit "supported device"
So, I've waited a few weeks to post my review of the Fitbit Versa as I wanted to give it a fair chance before doing so.Before buying, I had a few concerns about the watch from previous reviews the main ones being battery life (some people reporting this disappeared after using in the pool), compatibility with my Android phone and ease of changing straps. Although some people are bothered by the GPS being linked to your phone, that doesn't bother me as I don't use the watch for things like running.Addressing those three concerns first, I needn't have worried:1. I swam in the watch at Center Parcs recently. Not only did it work perfectly in and out of the water with no adverse impact afterwards but it also worked perfectly at picking up that I was swimming to monitor my activity which is great.2. I have an LG G6. None of the LG's are listed by Fitbit as supported devices but I took the plunge regardless. I've had no problem syncing the two at all. The notifications that I want to come through do so perfectly and I've had no issues whatsoever with the two working together. I wouldn't let this put you off buying.3. I bought the lavender special edition watch when it was on special offer for the same price as the regular watch. I therefore have 2 straps (one lavender and one black rubber) and have changed them a few times. I haven't had a problem at all changing these around. Yes it's a little fiddly but that's going to be the case on any smart watch simply due to the size of the connectors.The things I like best about the Versa are:1. Heart rate monitoring seems to be streets ahead of my old Charge HR which was a little iffy.2. It's comfortable. Like I say, I had a Charge HR before this and I had to stop wearing that because the rubberised strap kept rubbing on my skin and making it really sore. I've not had that problem at all with the Versa in either strap and the only time I'm not wearing it is in the shower (that's when I charge it!).3. Sleep monitoring. I love the fact that you get more in depth sleep monitoring with the Versa, telling you the time you spend in each sleep stage etc.4. Automatic exercise recognition. The fact that the Versa will automatically detect when you are working out is a great help. On my old Fitbit, if I forgot to press the start button when I got to the gym, it was a real pain trying to work out my exercise zones etc. with this - I know that this will start automatically for me which is a real help.Things that I would like to see improved on the Versa:1. I would love to see a Spotify app added. Even if this was just a control linked to your phone to be able to skip tracks etc. on the go it would be great. I don't know many people who use Deezer or many who would want to make the switch after setting up playlists etc. on spotify. I think Fitbit may be missing a trick here.2. Sleep monitoring. Although I am happy with the monitoring on the whole, the older Fitbit's will recognise when you sleep whether it's a short nap or overnight. With the Versa, it will only recognise your sleep if it's over 3 hours so you lose that ability to monitor your sleep if you have a short nap. It's not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to have that information.3. Period tracker. The Versa has it's own period tracker built into it which is great but again seems to overlook the fact that other apps are available and that people may have already built up a history elsewhere that they don't want to loose. Integration with apps such as Clue for this would be great.Overall, whilst there are a couple of small points that could be improved, I am really happy with my purchase and would encourage anyone thinking of buying a Versa to get one.

STAY AWAY NOT GOOD
UPDATE (16 months on)STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU LOVE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE!I loved this when I first bought it and it did everything I wanted it to and lived up to my expectations until 6 months later when all I’ve done since is spent half of my life looking at fit bits problem pages wondering why my Fitbit isn’t working. I’m constantly shutting it down as the time is always wrong, it doesn’t always connect to WiFi even though I don’t have issues with wi fi, it’s not showing steps or logs exercises.I can see why it’s called Fitbit as it only shows a little bit of your daily exercise and a Crap bit of Kit for your money. Not impressed and I’m starting to look elsewhere. Wouldn’t buy any of these products again. Complete let down. I’m not one for writing neagative reviews but I don’t want you spending a lot of money for a product that really doesn’t live up to its name. FIT BIT YOU NEED TO SORT OUT YOUR PRODUCTS AND STOP CONNING YOUR CUSTOMERS 😡😡 Shameful.I bought this tracker as a replacement and am absolutely in love with it already (I previously had an up band which I loved and then bought others which didn’t live up to my Upband... until now!) It looks smart and stylish and you can purchase other accessories to change the look of it 😍. It does everything I need and is easy to use. I haven’t worn it swimming yet but always wear it in the shower without any issues so far. I did buy a protective cover to protect the screen from scratches and sometimes a little bit of moisture gets under that but it hasn’t affected the workings of the watch.There are only two things so far that let this down (I’ve only had my tracker for a month) :1) once I received the product that it came with no instructions other than a card which tells you which app to download to to use it. Once you’ve downloaded the app it will then direct you to the instructions so I guess that’s their way of saving paper but it would have been nice to have been informed of that on the card enclosed instead of guess work.2) The only other drawback is that it needs to be charged every 4 days or so, this lets it down compared to other trackers which hold their charge for at least 7 days (I’m surprised that Fitbit haven’t tried to rectify this and enable its charge to hold longer!🤔)Other than those 2 small things this is an amazing and stylish tracker and I would definitely purchase it again. I don’t think I would purchase anything else from now on I’m hooked!

Superb!
I love my new fitbit versa. I was worried about buying one because of all the negative reviews, but I have been lucky so far and have had no problems with mine. I used to have a really cheap unbranded fitness tracker, and I thought that was good for tracking steps, workouts, sleep etc. But the versa is so much better. It automatically shows the time when you lift your arm to look (My old watch was meant to do that, but didnt) easy to use apps like the weather and exercise. My favourite thing is how it syncs up with the My Fitness Pal app on my phone. Before the summer I was using MFP to track my diet and calories, and my old fitness tracker for exercise and steps walked. I lost weight quickly enough, but I was always starving and miserable. So it's not surprising that over the last few months I fell off the wagon and put on half a stone really quickly. I haven't been able to find the motivation to get back on the wagon. So when I saw the fitbit on sale for black Friday I went for it. I am now back on wagon, and it's so much easier because Versa syncs with MFP telling it how many calories I've burned throughout the day and it adjusts the calories on MFP accordingly. No wonder i was so hungry all those months ago! I was burning hundreds of extra calories each day and not realising! It's great that Versa works it all out for you. I have now lost 3 pounds in a wk, and I have not felt ravenous at all. I went for a run for the first time last night and the data on the app was brilliant. A great motivator. The sleep app is so much more detailed as well and really encourages you to to get a gd nights sleep and meet your sleep goals. I also like that the watch vibrates 10 before the end of the hour telling how many more steps you have to go. And another nice touch is the challenges on the app, you can choose to walk a different trail each day, the Yosemite Trail in Nevada, and it shows you your location on the trail with beautiful picture, so again gives you more motivation to walk and keep active. It looks really nice on the wrist too. The only thing that doesn't work properly is the function that tells you how many floors you've climbed, a really windy day affects that and it tells you you've climbed like 80 flights! But apparently it doesn't affect your calories used, I think it's just an extra info function so I just ignore it. Overall, compared to my old fitness tracker, the Versa is so much better. Better than I thought it would be. I got it on sale for £139 So it seems well worth the money. I would definitely recommend.

J’ai pris cette montre pour qu’elle me suive dans mon quotidien, pas que pour le sport. Très bonne qualité, légère, et vraiment belle.Sur iOS pas encore de possibilité de répondre aux messages.

Vi serve uno sportwatch? Eccolo qua!
Vorrei essere molto schematico con questa recensione. É un ottimo prodotto ad un costo "contenuto". Mia opinione personale, un display amoled sarebbe stato più bello!Pro: 1) batteria di lunghissima durata, da 4 a 6/7gg dipende da quanti riconoscimenti automatici si attivano, cardio SEMPRE attivo, notti comprese.2) design, l'ho preso nero, é veramente bello e non da l'idea di economico, anzi.3) spessore, é molto fino, difficilmente ci si accorge di sbatterci contro4) peso, averlo o non averlo é indifferente, pesa talmente poco che non ci si fa caso!5) fitbit os molto reattivo!6) notifiche funzionano molto bene, arrivano in ritardo di circa 2 secondi, si può rispondere con 5 risposte preimpostate modificabili o 5 faccine modificabili.Contro: 1) Cinturino originale buono ma si suda, ed é scomodo, l'ho cambiato con la maglia milanese, é più brutta ma, si adatta al polso, é freschissima e antisudore.2) un display amoled sarebbe stato più bello, i neri sono profondi ma non così tanto!3) il cardio é molto affidabile, ma bisogna indossare bene l'orologio, e spesso quando sono seduto in ufficio e muovo il braccio mi rileva 80 battiti quando ne ho meno di 60, sicuramente l'algoritmo sfrutta anche l'accelerometro per capire se stiamo facendo sport.4) il cardio sotto sforzo, perfetto! É quasi come una fascia toracica!5) gli sfondi, sono tanti ma sono uno più brutto dell'altro, tengo quello originale6) le app ci sono ma non é uno smartwatch, praticamente come non ci fossero7) NFC solo con poche carte.I contro sembrano più dei pro, ma hanno un valore molto minore, sinceramente per l'ambito sportivo e per l'ecosistema fitbit lo consiglio al 150%

L'allier santé parfait !
J'utilise les trackers Fitbit depuis 2011, la montre Versa est mon troisième après un des tout premiers trackers lancés par la marque, puis après avoir le One ces 5 dernières années.Le Versa est vraiment sympa, la montre a un design très esthétique est assez unisexe contrairement à la Surge et à l'Iconic qui sont beaucoup plus masculines et avec un look très sport. Elle est relativement fine et pour le moment, elle va facilement avec mes vêtements de tous les jours, mais je compte m'acheter un bracelet cuir très prochainement pour un look un peu plus élégant et discret avec des tenues plus habillées.Concernant ses fonctions, on peut tout suivre : rythme cardiaque, pas marchés, distance parcourue, activités physiques, calories dépensées, étages montés, sommeil... Et l'appli sur smartphone est très agréable à utiliser pour centraliser toutes les infos déjà visibles sur la montre. Bonne autonomie avec environ 4/5 jours de batterie et le bracelet en silicone fourni de base est très doux sur la peau, ma crainte était qu'il fasse beaucoup transpirer ou qu'il tire sur la peau, mais non, très agréable.J'envisageais une Apple Watch, mais la partie dédiée à la santé est beaucoup moins développée que sur les produits Fitbit et on a accès à moins d'infos, mais il faut dire que ça n'est pas le coeur de métier d'Apple, contrairement à Fitbit. Et ce qui me manquerait le plus sur l'Apple Watch, c'est le côté social et compétitif que l'on trouve sur Fitbit avec le classement de ses performances par rapport à ses amis et les challenges qu'on peut se lancer. Personnellement, ça m'aide beaucoup à me motiver à bouger et à me surpasser pour monter dans le classement.Bref, je porte la montre depuis 2 semaines maintenant, et je ne peux plus m'en passer. Et gros avantage par rapport au One que j'avais avant et qui se clippait sur ma poche de pantalon, difficile de l'oublier quand on se change dans la journée alors qu'on l'a au poignet !
