FitbitVersa 2 Special Edition Health and Fitness Smart Watch with Heart Rate, Music, Alexa Built-In, Sleep and Swim Tracking, Navy and Pink Woven/Copper Rose, One Size (S and L Bands Included), 2.3

Works great except for deep sleep monitoring. Comes up short every time.

I love my new Versa 2. My versa stopped charging completely after 2 years, and so I decided to look at the versa 2. Love the style, color, and options on the watch. The versa 2 has longer battery life, I'm on day 4 and I haven't had to charge it. It's a great watch for me and that helps me stay motivated to stay fit and move!

Great watch for tracking fitness, heart rate, steps, and calories. You can connect you phone and fitness apps with ease. It came with 2 different bands.

Like many, I've been a Fitbit user for a very long time. Cycling through almost every new Fitness Tracker they came out with. My most recent of these being the Versa 2, it's comfortable and sleek looking.There are many things I really LOVE about this watch, but I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Fitbit is not putting enough quality into their products, and I'll tell you why below. However, I would love to share what I like about the watch, and some features that I use almost daily.Features I love, and use often:- I never realized how much I would use this feature, but I find it so very useful: The timer option. I don't use it for laps, or anything of that nature as you have that built into the exercise feature. However, I do use this to time my son's reading for homework. Grilling outside. Reminders of letting my animals back inside after being let out. And for so much more, I truly utilize this function on an almost daily basis. Such a great feature.- The exercise button. You can customize which exercise buttons are quick access, via the Fitbit App. This is useful because I do most of the same type of exercises on a regular basis, and this makes it easy. The one downfall here is that if you chose to activate the GPS option for a more accurate distance calculation you MUST have the app open on your phone. I don't love that, as I would think it should calculate it based off your phones location, but I'm no engineer.- Sleep Score & Cycle Tracker - I like to take a look at my sleep score over time, as I tend to not sleep a lot. I have a toddler and wake up at early hours each day to fit the needs of my family, and maintain my full time career. It helps me understand why I may be more tired on some days vs others. And each person needs a certain range of sleep, I try to stay within those parameters, but often my toddler disrupts my sleep cycles. It's been pretty accurate, any time I've tested it against what I have recorded manually. And I love the Cycle Tracker as a female. I have PCOS so my cycles have always wee bit wonky. This helps me track them, know when to expect them, and edit my information to have the most accurate account of each cycle. You can input your details about mood, flow, etc.With that said, I have noticed a few downfalls regarding this (and other) newer models: I go through about 1 a year. I am not the most kind to anything regarding accessories, so I understand I can be rough on them. But I do take care of my watch. I wash it, dry it, keep a screen protector on it. I don't shower with it, and charge it as often as I need. But I've had watches just stop working, the HR function quit, and all this within 1 year of purchase. Yes, Fitbit does have great customer service, and often without question they will send a replacement. However, I just feel like they're pushing out models constantly vs trying to really fix the problems.Like other reviewers, I've faced connectivity issues. Sometimes my watch just won't sync, then it won't record, and the app isn't updated. When exercising I've had the watch not pull GPS because it says it cannot connect, but I've done everything I can to troubleshoot. The Alexa function doesn't work for either of the two Versa 2's I've had. I've enabled it, and had it close to my phone; but it doesn't work.I really love the look of this Versa 2. With the one button on the side, to assist with maneuvering through the watch. I love the Customization features of this watch through the app, it's great. Fitbit really has something there, the app is so user friendly. However, I wish they would make a watch that lasted longer. And I know they're not Apple Watch price tags, but they're close enough. My MIL has the same problems as I, and she's not nearly as harsh on hers as I am. At this point, I'm looking into a different brand, just to see how I like it because my current Versa 2 (a replacement from the first one) is losing the seals around the bottom of the unit and I fear it will quit being water resistant.I would recommend this watch, absolutely. Especially for a beginner in this market, and for someone whom likes to track their daily movement. But maybe something a little more rugged for those that aren't so easy on our accessories.

Have been looking for a smart watch for awhile...wanted something to track my sleep, activity, steps, weight, and could sync with my Galaxy Note 10+...this watch fits all of the items I wanted and then some...battery life is also better then I thought...battery lasts for at least 4 days before I get a battery low message...takes less then 2 hours to fully charge...would recommend this watch over any other one if your looking for the same things I was...the one thing it does that I was not expecting is that its able to know when I'm swimming without me even having to tell it.

When unboxing and pairing the fitbit and pairing to the phone, I was asked for a credit card to pay an extra $9.99/mo. At first, it wasn't clear what that was for. This watch was was already expensive, why is the phone app not included in the purchase price? I initially declined the extra fees.When using the app to view reports from the watch, nearly every page displays an ad demanding you to pay $9.99 to access the full features of that page within the app. I purchased this specifically for sleep tracking. The sleep tracking page in the app conceals much of the data they're collecting on you without paying a monthly fee. And if you don't want to pay the fee, prepare to be nagged about it constantly while using the app. I had to give in and pay the hidden tax to access the features I bought the watch for. Amazon should go ahead and list the purchase price as $250+$9.99/moEven though I'm already paying $9.99/mo, fitbit.com displays irritating pop-up banner ads if you try to view your reports there. Great. I love paying to see ads.One of the selling features of this watch is a customizable watch face. Fitbit helpfully doesn't provide these for you. They allow "the community" to make all the watch faces. 99% of them are awful, and were assembled by somebody with no visual design skills as a hobby project. To find a stylish watch face, that doesn't look silly or ugly, requires scrolling through pages and pages of "Baby's first watch-face" style projects.After a lot of work, I found a few watch faces I liked. I only had to pay $3-5 to download them. That's $3-5 EACH.Now about the poor sleep tracking. It works great. As long as I strap the watch to my wrist much tighter than is comfortable. As long as the watch band is digging into your skin, and the watch cannot move at all on your wrist, the sleep tracking features are pretty slick. I wake up with my wrist hurting, but I can ask the app how my sleep was. If I wear the watch normally, it's possible for the sensor on the watch to lose contact with my skin for some periods of the night. Then the app report says it's not able to provide good information on that night's sleep, and to wear the watch tighter. And also, please pay an extra $9.99/mo while you're at it.If I want to check the time, on my watch, I have to press the button first. The raise to wake feature usually doesn't work. Except when it's not supposed to. There is a feature to leave the watch screen on 24/7, but it drains the little battery rather quickly, and it doesn't even show your preferred watch face! Want to see the watch face you selected? Go ahead and press the button.As soon as I can replace this device with a better sleep tracker, I'm going to give it as a gift to somebody I don't like very much.
