Fitbit Versa comfort
Rating: 5
I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. She lives the pink color and she said the band is so soft and comfortable she wears it to Zumba and has no issue. She likes the size and comfort of wearing it. She like being able to see her heart rate and her favorite APP so far is the Relax App. She has had it for a few weeks now and has had no issues. She's still exploring the Apps and functions. I'm very happy with the purchase and the fact that she loves.

Excellent Smart Watch
Rating: 5
I bought this watch for Christmas and I love it. All features are as describe, easy to use and I also bought extra bands and accessories to match my wardrobe. The only down fall is that I'm not getting a low battery warning and battery does not last 4 days. 3 days batterylife max. I highly recommend it.

Loving my Versa
Rating: 5
I love my Fitbit Versa. It was easy to set up and I've had zero problems. I never realized how little I actually move. No wonder I gained weight. If you can't get a notification to come up, research how to turn it on. I'm very happy with mine. I'm getting 4 plus days of battery life. It charges quickly. I love that I can download free clock faces from the Fitbit app. Looking forward to buying new snazzy bands.

Used some Christmas money and got a great deal at Sam's Club. Nice features and links to my Samsung phone.

Great smartwatch!

I love everything about my Fitbit!! It would be better if you could actually talk on it though, especially for the price! Other than that it does everything it says it does, plus more! Really great product!

Keeps me on track!
Rating: 4
I purchased this Fitbit as a recommendation from my cardiologist. I wanted to keep track of my resting HR as well as my high points in the day, and I'm thrilled I can see all the data via the app and my watch itself. I appreciate the ability to link it with other apps like Myfitnesspal and Strava. Oh and of course my Starbucks card! It's the little things, ya know! I am also more mindful of my steps now, and I can see active minutes. The watch faces are customizable via the app, and so are a number of cool widgets like a little torch light, a weather app, a water reminder, and music. The possibilities are great with this Versa, and my only one complaint is the battery life after a while. I still get a solid 4 days with bits of play time but I expected it to be a tad more as the manufacturer stated 7 days on purchase. Not a deal breaker, I just have to charge it while sleeping and that interrupts my sleep insights, another super cool feature! All in all I'd highly recommend it. I've never owned a Garmin or Apple Watch for any sort of comparison, but this does exactly what I needed it to at a fraction of competitions price points. Great company, great customer service!

Good. The only thing bad is that when you move your arm and youre not Walking it counts as a step! When I wake up in the morning I have steps on my watch after sleeping! Like 39!

Not User Friendly
Rating: 3
Love the idea of the watch but I cant get it to perform like it promises. For example, you can customize quick responses to text messages in the Fitbit app but I have not figured out how to respond to a text yet. Also, it took me two days to figure out how to enable my watch to receive text message notifications. I have updated both my iPhone and Versa, went to the Fitbit community for help as well as read the online instruction booklet. Not user friendly.

Buy with caution
Rating: 1
I purchased this fitbit in Feb 2019, by October the heart rate sensor stopped working and it wouldn't hold a charge for more than 8hrs. Fitbit replaced it because it was still under warranty. By April 2020, I had the same issue but warranty was expired so I sent it to Square trade (bought $22 coverage for 3yrs). Square trade "fixed" it but I received it back and it wouldn't charge, I sent it back again and they returned it fixed but only lasted 4months. Now square trade will not accept it again as cost of parts and fixing has exceeded original cost of the item. I have had Fitbit flex and Charge 2 both lasting 2 years. The versa has been my worst and last fitbit purchase. One of my coworker also has a versa that lasted only about a year.

Amazing smartwatch, very powerful
Rating: 5
This is my first smartwatch and I could not be happier. My favorite sports are soccer, surf, and snowboarding, and while the watch doesn't have apps for those specific sports, its features do a pretty good job at recording everything I need to keep track of my workouts #sweepstakes
