Fitbit’s newest wrist accessory is a capable fitness tracker and smartwatch rolled into one.
It’s ideal for someone with smaller wrists or someone who feels that typical smartwatches are too large. The Versa builds on the success of the Ionic and is marginally cheaper because it skips the built in GPS. But it has a nicer design, keeps the 24/7 heart rate, has loads of custom watch faces, an app store, sleep tracking, payments, music storage, 15+ exercise modes, 4-day battery life and a bright colour LCD touchscreen.
Adult users who identify as female during the setup will also get access to the female health tracking feature. This is specifically to track menstrual cycle and associated health issues.
