Fitbit Versa Fitness HR Smart Watch - gray/silver Aluminium

BUYER BEWARE!!! Versa Batteries OVERHEAT while on charger!!! Never leave your watch on the charger without checking it every 30 mins for your health and safety of your home and life. This can burn your house and cause death!!!! I purchased the FitBit Versa only to have the battery overheat while on the charger. Luckily I always checked it within 1hr. It was so hot it burned my fingers while removing it from the charger. They kindly replaced it with another just by calling and explaining the problem. Unfortunately, this replacement also OVERHEATED on the charger. This time they supplied the FedEx return label that was used and has been in transit for 3 months , (since Jan 13, 2022 today is March 15, 2022 ).

Fitbit refuses to send a replacement until it reaches their warehouse. So I have been without a watch for 3mos due to a manufacture faulty battery that overheats when charging. I am highly disappointed with Fitbit for not standing behind their product when it is definitely a manufacturer issue of an OVERHEATING BATTERY.AGAIN!!

This is my wifes favorite fitbit to date. The strap is easy to use, with no metal parts or bulky uncomfortable elements. It is sharp looking and can be worn with her professional work attire or casual/exercise ware. It also has smart watch technology. The only downside I have heard her mention is that the face sits up higher than she would like. It does not catch on her clothing but does annoy her. If you are used to wearing a watch, this likely wont be an issue.

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 ... MoreSo, 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.

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.

I absolutely LOVE my Fitbit watch! I was in the market for a smart watch and wanted something I could wear for work (registered nurse) that would allow me to read my messages on screen. I’m an apple girl, but the Apple Watch was intimidating to me in terms of its navigation (the apps look so messy, and there was so many apps on it that I just wouldn’t use!) I give my Fitbit verse 4 stars only because I think it would be great to include a way to respond to messages from the phone (even if it’s just preprogrammed replies like “sorry I’m at work” etc). It also doesn’t alert me to FaceTime calls, only voice calls/texts. So there have been times my phone has been on silent/not near me and I missed calls from friends. I also think giving a screen protector in the initial ... MoreI absolutely LOVE my Fitbit watch!

I also think giving a screen protector in the initial box would be a great idea. I did not have a screen protector (and didn’t know they even made them for Fitbit versa until I researched online) and my watch screen got really scratched up within weeks of getting my smart watch. One additional feature I’d like to see is a calculator app on the screen. Being a nurse and using this for work it would be helpful to have that easily accessible on my watch. I’d also like to see an easier way to switch the clock face to military time directly from the app rather than logging in to the Fitbit website. We use 24 hour time at work and it would be helpful to see that time reflected on my watch. Thank you Fitbit and would love to wee these improvements added to future versions of the product!

Good price but more info would have been nice

I sent a message to the seller and have not received a response. According to the seller info a response should have been received within 48 hours. It’s been 4 days. I don’t know if this is new or refurbished. The Fitbit arrived and looks to be in new condition but the battery is at zero and the normal information that would come along with the Fitbit is missing. Poor communication on the sellers part is the reason for the low rating. I will update my review once I charge it and see how it works.

New Update Caused Older Model to Crash

I purchased the fitbit versa in 2019 and took excellent care of it. I absolutely loved it and had no issues with it. Come October 2022, they rolled out with a new update. As soon as my fitbit updated, it completely crashed and stopped working. I tried everything I could to get it to work but it would not turn back on. After doing a lot of research, I read that a ton of other customers had the same issue with their older models after the update. I reached out to customer service for help and they did offer a 35% discount off a new device, however, I am still extremely disappointed in fitbit with this and now hesitant to even purchase a new device. Not only is it illegal to come out with updates making older models obsolete, but it is just beyond poor business practice.

The best 5 years...

I puchased the Fitbit Versa (1st gen) in 2018. This is a durable product. It has been through the storm of hits, bumps and nicks with no problems until I dislodged the screen from it's housing yesterday. Even though this is a 1st gen Versa, every update that was sent/available, I was able to take advantage of. Even when the heart rate/monitoring Pluse line became available, the update for my Fitbit included those features. I am not very savvy when it comes to electronics and technology but from day one, the watch and the Fitbit app are easy to undstand and operate. I use everything from the pedometer to keeping up with my sleep score, checking my text messages and listening to Pandora, using the workout featues, monituring my health matrix, and on, and on.

The list of apps that are availabe to download to the watch continues to grow. I also do not recall seeing any difference in my battery life from day one to yesterday. I wear/wore my Fitbit everyday charging every other day and sometimes every third day or so. I will miss my Fitbit Versa, however, I will be upgrading to another model. I will just need to be a tad gentler to the next one.

VERY GOOD, while it lasted

this watch is a very good watch until you had it for over a year. my watch lasted three years without breaking. it started to not sync to my phone and the side of the screen is starting to go white. and the buttons don't work. so its just a watch. it does still works but you can only check the time and look at your little things at the bottom like your steps and heart. if you are going to buy any fitbit versa the buttons stop working after a year for most people who I've seen online with some of the versas

Waste of Money: Won't Last and Features Won't Work. Horrible Customer Service and Refund Policies. Better Off Going with Apple Watch or Garmin.

I've purchased several makes and models that always broke (even the newest versions) within a year and features never fully worked. Their customer service is poor. You'll have to keep contacting them to get it replace whilst being blamed for it in the process. Plus, their Premium subscription is non-refundable. If you try canceling through the app, it may not successfully work, and they'll end up charging your account and not providing a refund because they only offer one month free. They won't offer store credit or gift cards. The best part is their customer service representatives will blame you for not properly canceling your subscription (when it's a click of a button). Have fun with your account getting charged with no way of getting your money back :) I'll ... MoreI've purchased several makes and models that always broke (even the newest versions) within a year and features never fully worked.

If you're looking for a company that refuses to refund for their own software not working, this is a great place to go, as well. You're better off getting an Apple Watch or Garmin that actually delivers all the features it promises. Otherwise, you're wasting money delaying the switch to a better company with better policies and technology, like Apple or Garmin.
