Apple Watch Series 5 vs. Fitbit Versa 2

You can buy the items featured in the video here:
Apple Watch Series 5: bit.ly/2Uveqyy
Fitbit Versa 2: bit.ly/3CUafO7
*CNET may get a commission from this offer.
The new Apple Watch starts at $400 and has a lot of health and fitness tracking features, as well as tight integration with the iPhone. But the Fitbit Versa 2 works on iOS and Android and costs $200 less. I compare these smartwatches on everything from battery life to the always-on display, plus talk about how they track exercise and sleep.

[@DylanM15]

Made one really bad point. Fitness trackers are made for fitness tracking and smartwatches are not specifically designed for fitness tracking at all but it’s an added perk to many of them, including Apple Watch. Health features are more of a perk on Apple Watch over fitness tracking as a whole. Having the heart rate through the day, dB Meter, ECG, Air Quality, etc is all health based but not fitness based. Fitness trackers have a history of much longer battery life but also a lot fewer features and they key in on fitness solely. Usually no or few third party apps, limited connection to notifications, lower quality displays, etc. Most people wanting fitness trackers go for Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, etc. Apple Watch users primarily want them for the tech features, calls, texts, complications, etc. There is some crossover but most runners and fitness focused people will stay away from Apple Watch. Smartwatches definitely are not primarily fitness trackers so it’s really out of line to make that a primary focus in comparison because that’s really the only comparison to justify the video solely. Just because they both go on the wrist and tell time doesn’t mean they are the same category at all. It’s like trying to say Sunglasses and Google Glass are the same thing and need compared or comparing fútbol and American football just because they share a similar name.

[@DarylSkinner]

I HAD BOTH I LIKE FITBIT

[@TimeQuxxn]

I don't really know how you could compare these two since one is a true smartwatch and the other is a fitness oriented tracker with some smartwatch features. Not to mention the price-point is so vastly different. It doesn't seem like they're on any kind of the same level. They're two different products for two different markets.

Here's the thing, I have the Fitbit Versa ... I have owned a lot of Fitbits, the issue with them is that they do not last longer than a year. Have had one that lasted longer that 12mo. ONE My Versa is coming up on 1year, it's starting to have issues, glitchs like today it stopped tracking my heart rate. ALSO it tracks your sleep but to get the sleep score & all the data you have to pay for the premium membership that runs $10 a month! So, as I get ready to replace my Fitbit I'm really looking at the Apple Watch. If it lasts longer than 2 years the price will be well worth it!

My wife and I got Fitbit Edges when they came out and then switched to Fitbit Versas when they became available. Both Edges and both Versas failed within their first year of use. Some (my Edge and my wife’s Versa) failed twice! Fitbit would replace them under warranty but it really left a bad taste in my mouth. So when my wife’s Versa died for a second time a couple months ago I said enough is enough and ordered two 44mm Apple Watches Series 5. We have had Apple MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones for more than 10 years and have never had problems with them so there’s a good chance these watches will last until we get tired of them. And they are awesome! I feel like when I replaced the beater car my dad gave me for college with the first brand new car I bought with my own money. Yes, these watches are that different.

I was a huge fitbit fan. Unfortunately, there are a few things people should consider before purchasing it. I owned the fitbit charge 2, and I went through three replacements. I bought one and the glue that held the fitbit together melted. FItbit was nice enough to send me a replacement but the replacement had battery problems. They sent another replacement and it worked for three months until the battery gave out. I gave fitbit another try and bought the fitbit Ionic. It was amazing however, the battery was damaged after one year. I contacted fitbit and they said it was beyond the warranty. My wife also had an ionic and the battery was an issue. we have done research and it appears it is a common issue. I am not trying to sway your opinion but you should do your research before buying.

First time I was making a decision between Versa and Apple watch - i chose Versa - because battery life and i wanted an activity tracker... I did love my Versa, but the battery never lasted 5 days. I think i got like 3.5 days first 3 months, and then i was getting 1.5 day, and after 6 months 1 day, and then it wouldnt last whole day, and after 1 year and 3 months it simply died! After i took of charger, it was hot, and wouldnt turn on! Thank Good i had extended warranty. Of course, Versa was unrepairable, and i got my 249.00 back! Apple Watch 5 came out few days later and i got it! I loooove it and i would NOT go back to Fitbit!

[@erzascralet48]

Best Buy even stopped selling warranties at I believe FitBit's request because they were claimed for breaking during that time almost ALL the time. I used to use the original Alta, and it was inconsistent Bluetooth, so claimed my warranty and got a Huawei Watch 2. That was a great upgrade, until it had it's own battery issues, but with that warranty and over time, got that money to get a Series 3 at regular price and $40 back towards the iPhone X. Landed at the better option myself.

[@Kindness808]

I chose the Apple Watch 5. Even though I was really disappointed that Apple hasn't progressed with the battery life and on board sleep tracking in 6 iterations of the watch, I think the additional features are worth the price. Yes, I could have waiting for apple's next watch which should surely have these features...but I've said that ever year for 4 or 5 years. Not found of Apple's sort of attrition tactic there. While I couldn't care less about the always on feature, using the watch when you can't answer your phone quickly enough, or for pulses while using the GPS, or to help you locate your phone...those are all very helpful features that I enjoyed with my original Apple Watch. Also, I've seen a lot of concerning reviews about Fitbit's poor customer service over the past year or so. Also, it sounds like people are having problems with their Fitbit products crashing and responding poorly to updates. I really like that compiles data with sort of this inclusive look at your health and that you can find all that information laid out without opening multiple apps. However, I can't abide poor quality and poor customer service. Fitibit has been negotiating possible acquisition by Google. Not sure how I feel about that.

Fitbit has terrible longevity, bought 2 fitbit watches, both became purely decorational one year into it They would drop dead out of nowhere, even when battery was at like 30%. And then would remain dead when being charged. And after a few days, they would suddenly revive. This happened often enough where I could not really rely on it to tell time or do anything. Also, the alarm function is a joke, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If you are relying on it to wake you up for work, good luck.

You should have done series 3 instead of 5 as the 3 and the Fitbit are the same price

[@xxkalicookiesxx1061]

Costco is selling the Apple watches for 329.99 and the Fitbit 139.99. It’s so hard to decided.

[@GadgetGreg]

it all depends what your needs are

I had the Fitbit Alta HR for maybe 2 years and recently switched to the S5 Apple Watch. I really love it! I like that it tracks movement in general where the Alta really only tracks steps and workouts. The Apple Watch keeps track of how many flights of stairs I take, whether they’re split or one straight flight, where the Alta only noticed straight up and down flights of stairs. I do miss sleep tracking and multi-day battery but I also don’t mind detaching from technology while I’m sleeping and when the AOD is off I can get about 2 days from the watch. It was definitely an upgrade for me.

[@saavage321]

Blissful Martini Thank you for your comment ! I have the Fitbit Alta - the first version But I think I will buy the Apple Watch...🧐

[@rupertbeehsley1680]

Apple watch only works with IPHONE. Not compatible with Ipad, ridiculous and a deal breaker.

[@bendmacmanufacturing2744]

I love my series 5 with display always on in OFF mode I get 2 days of battery life. I also love Apple for being on top with updates that's something my Samsung Gear wasn't good about!!!

Better comparison would be Versa 2 vs Series 3 since it's the same price but hey it's CNET what do you expect

[@mr.pinaple1651]

In my opinion.... GET THE APPLE WACH.... It’s money well spent

[@hattorihonzo8340]

wait, so, you cant just control the spotify thats on your phone from the fitbit? I'm not looking to store music on it I just want to be able to control the music without having to pull my phone out of my pocket. PLS REPY

[@CarnivalDogz]

Yes, yes you can

Apple's series 4 is my great watch ever after my father's omega

[@daveplumley7854]

The problem with all Apple products is the Updates. Update Obsolescence. Apple is well-known for using Updates to suddenly remove useful features from its older products, without your permission or consent. When iWatch6 came out, my iWatch4 updated and suddenly the heart-rate monitor didn’t work. Two months later it started working again. Apple just wanted me to upgrade to the 6. I like Apple. I’ve owned the iPhone 3,4,5,6,8, and now XR, as well as the original iWatch and the Series4. I know what I’m talking about. I’ve seen them do it over and over. If you don’t want to be forced to buy the latest model, then don’t get an Apple product.

[@milankingma7928]

The heart rate monitor wasn't disabled by apple, there is something wrong with your watch...

are there any swimmers out there? has anyone swam with either of these? do they hold up?

[@aarondesilva9578]

Even the apple watch

[@RaiJK3]

What about one of Samsung’s watches

[@Swim2life]

The "Fit"bit is for fitness first, Smartwatch second. Apple is just adding too much. I mean, the phone itself, download some apps, is the watch itself. Less is more. Sticking with my Versa 2.

[@NileshR12]

I loved to see an updated video between the Series 5 or 6 & the new Fitbit Versa 3 & the new Fitbit Sense smartwatches. The Versa 3 & Sense have built-in GPS. The Versa 3 now has a built-in speaker as well

Such a good review! Idk why you have a lot of dislikes on this video but out of all the videos ive seen related to this topic, this was the most helpful thank you!

I bought my Apple Watch 3 about a month ago and I love it. I’m a runner and not taking my phone but still being able to stream music to my AirPods without my phone is a game changer. So yeah. Apple Watch is better and Apple lowered its price and with the amazon price match at target, I bought mine for 169

You way undervalued the Apple's LTE .. it's effectively an iPhone. You can nearly double Apple's battery time by disabling the always on display.

[@robloxunspacecommand1935]

Disabling the always on display doesn’t really make any difference for batter consumption. They have explained it and I have tested it out. It’s the same.

[@gfyGoogle]

RobloxUNSpaceCommand according to numerous tech reviewers, it’s absolutely not the same.

[@DJaquithFL]

@@gfyGoogle .. According to people that have actually tested it the lowest battery savings is 25% using a simple face (low calculations) and up to double with complicated faces with (high calculations) faces. The "Reviewer" I linked above .. 30% savings.
