The Versa 3 essentially delivers everything we like about the Fitbit Sense, minus a few advanced heart health and stress monitoring features, for $220 less. It also continues to offer the long battery life, robust fitness and sleep tracking abilities, and useful smartwatch features that have made the Versa line a favorite of ours. The GPS lets you track your real-time pace and distance when you're working out without your phone, and the SpO2 sensor enables blood oxygen saturation readings while you sleep, a particularly useful metric during the COVID-19 pandemic. If I wanted a watch offset, I would prefer preset a few minutes fast.Now in its third generation, the latest Fitbit Versa costs more than its predecessors did at launch (A$299.95), but justifies the increase in price with a larger screen, integrated GPS, an SpO2 sensor, and support for the Active Zone Minutes metric Fitbit introduced in the Charge 4. All said, I would not recommend, even as just a time piece, which I intend to keep using as such, for awhile. Lastly the band is a bit of a pain but only deal with it occasionally when showering or charging. It also likes to slide into modes that require gps on it's own, requiring attention to reset to where I previously left it.

I don't even want to know my blood pressure reading, so I'm glad it didn't come with one! My oxygen level is off the charts, though that is only a guess as I'm not synced! The movement mode works as long as it can flop loosely on my wrist, not how I usually wear it, and even then it requires a reset by pressing the side button. My pulse meter runs fast, though at this point I can guess why.

Secondly, the initial sync mode lasted less than 72 hours, requiring to sync again! Second time connected and lasted about an hour! Have not tried to sync again since as I am already old and refuse to waste my remaining time on nonsense! Consequently I have a nice looking, lightweight watch that runs 3 minutes slow with no clock set. It suggests to use wi-fi for faster results but wouldn't accept or recognize my router password! So the long route took over 90 minutes while my phone kept timing out, requiring me to stand by to keep it activated. Not worth the aggravation.disappointed beyond reasonable.įirst thing is, the syncing is unbearably long.
