Fitbit Versa 2 Review: Mild Gains

When the first Fitbit Versa came out last year, I told you how well it worked as a fitness tracker in the gym, and how much promise I thought it had as a smartwatch - if only Fitbit would make a few changes. Enter the Fitbit Versa 2: a sequel with a better screen, fewer buttons and more features. But does any of that make it … a better smartwatch? Find out in MrMobile's Fitbit Versa 2 Review!

My Pebble 2 just gave up last month. The plastic buttons opened up. I really hoped they were able to release the Pebble Time 2 before they shut down :( that device has a good build quality and colored screen and would have lasted longer than the Pebble 2

[@willwunsche6940]

I was the same way, I got about 4 1/2 hours of sleep every night for 3 years until I did some research into neuroscience and advanced college studies on what's sleep. Trust me man you NEED to talk to a smart medical professional about sleep and work with them to improve yours. Sleep is vastly more important than any work or play. When you're sleeping your body empties out your limited memory supply and as well as solving problems in your sleep and synchronizing your brain through pulsating chants. It's pretty interesting and all of that stuff is factually proven.

Got the Fitbit Versa at launch last year. Plenty happy with it. Multi-platform support is great. Used it with an Android, Lumia 950, and currently an iPhone Xr.

[@ess78201]

I’m in the first gen Fitbit Versa and liking it still. I have a Apple Watch 3 and a Samsung Sport sitting in my drawer. I love the sleep tracking and the details on this watch. I rely on that a lot. It’s much more accurate than Samsung and I hate having to rely on 3rd party apps for Apple. Also, the battery life is amazing. Obviously. It also does a better job than the other two of automatically recording random work outs like basketball and bike riding and hiking. I’ll probably give the Versa 2 a shot now.

[@cindyesplugas3735]

I have the 3 Also I love it 🥰

[@SouvikSays]

Still rocking a Pebble time. It withstood the tests of "time", ah well pun not intended.

[@bolivarnj]

Enjoyed the video, great job! FWIW, still using my Pebble Time Steel with Rebble OS. Steps, sleep, dictation, voice responses to email & texts, lots of useful watch faces (can change on watch), maps, directions, act on incoming phone calls, control media, use as camera remote, etc... I am amazed at how relevant it still is for me. Battery life is probably about 5 days now which is still pretty good. As Fitbit improves and my watch wears out I'll probably make the jump to a future versa with more features.

[@PixelSheep]

I got a Mi Band 4 and I love it does everything I need and lasts about 20 days

Thanks for this review I really needed it. I just purchased a Fitbit inspire hr and was having a bit of buyers remorse after seeing the versa 2 and finding out that I can’t reply to texts on my watch and it doesn’t have an always on display. My main focus for this watch was to count my steps and have my watch sync with the weight watchers app on my phone tho I could do both with an Apple Watch I am an android user so enough said. After watching countless videos I found yours and it was short and to the point and now I am content with my purchase.

[@AaronWeissTheWeissIsRite]

Rockin that Versa 1! Glad to hear it's not necessarily worth the upgrade!

Ditto. Also starting to wonder if I should preemptively buy a spare one - with the way this market is going (i.e. nowhere fast) I may actually need it when my current PTS dies.

[@AustinAllen]

I’m rocking the Withings Steel HR. I had the Moto 360 back in the day, then Pebble (rip) but switched to the Withings watches after pebble died. I’ve been rocking the Steel HR for the past couple years, and I LOVE IT. Over 20 days of battery life, sleep tracking, step and workout tracking, hr monitoring and notification support. And I get compliments all the time on how handsome it is

[@KuldarJ]

I'm still using my gear S3 and it tracks my sleep and steps really well only thing I wish was better is the battery.

[@StuartStrauzer]

I can't believe that to get all the features i want in a smartwatch i have to keep going back to my #pebble. My pebble time steel is sometimes rebooting but it still does everything better, faster, and for longer. So does my #pebble2. What is wrong with companies today unable to make another long lasting, swim friendly, notification responding, app friendly, fitness ready, smartwatch that doesn't cost a fortune and even those don't last! Maybe the #amazefitBIP? But I've dry there really aren't apps MD it is only IP68

[@efenollal]

I'm using nothing. I want an apple watch but don't want the damn iPhone!

[@kiminimuchu__]

Same, but also the battery life on the apple watch kinda sucks real bad...

I am still wearing my Gear S3 Frontier and loving it. I will never understand why Samsung ditched the rotating bezel and magnetic card emulation for Samsung Pay in their wearables. Plus I'm still stuck with S-Voice that will occasionally tell me it can't understand what I am asking out if the blue. Mostly during meetings.

[@Sponch1]

The Galaxy watch does have the rotating Bezel though? The active is a spin off

Overall very happy with the watch. One of my favorite features by far? Standard 22mm clasps for attaching watch bands. Makes a new band just a couple pin changes away. Use it mainly for notifications, step and sleep tracking. Couldn't be happier with the device. And it still gets updates too!
