Fitbit, the American fitness wearables company that was recently acquired by Google.
Fitbit Versa 2 design
The Fitbit Versa 2 has a square face with rounded corners. The colour AMOLED touchscreen looks really nice . We had no complaints with the display itself though get pretty bright, and colours look very nice on it too.
The Versa 2 is quite comfortable to wear. And the band is also quite comfortable overall. We were able to wear the Versa 2 for multiple days without an issue.
One button on the left side of the Versa 2, if you press it once it acts as a back button, and if you long-press it, it will launch the exercise app. There's a microphone on the right, since the Versa 2 supports Amazon's Alexa voice assistant.
Review
The Versa 2 is swim-proof, which is a must-have feature at this price point. It ships with a proprietary charging cradle which is a bit disappointing to see but not entirely surprising given Fitbit's history of shipping a new charger with almost every new product. The cradle has a clip-like mechanism that you have to slot the Versa 2 into.
Performance and battery life
Fitness watch that supports a lot of workout modes, You will need to use your paired smartphone's GPS sensors to track workouts with the Versa 2, which means the Fitbit app will always need access your location, whether it's active or not. Its battery life is not that great anymore. Using GPS constantly is a huge drain on power.
First we walked 1,000 steps while counting each one manually to see if the Versa 2's step tracker is accurate. it's to be noted that this is the paired phone's GPS accuracy and shouldn't be used to judge the wearable itself.
The heart rate sensor of the Fitbit Versa 2 is fairly accurate. Its readings corresponded with how tired we were feeling during workouts, which is good to see. You can also track a bunch of other workouts such as swimming, running, elliptical training, yoga, etc. on the Versa 2, which is good to see. We'll talk about the software at length in a bit.
We wore the Fitbit Versa 2 through the night to see if sleep tracking was reliable, and we were pleased to see that it was. The app assigns a sleep score to tell you how well you slept, and we found this metric to be helpful. Our sleep scores did reflect how we thought we had slept.
