Top notch tracker. Best on the market by far

there are no other trackers like a Fitbit. I will always buy this brand. So easy to operate. Great battery life. Step count very accurate. I had another Fitbit and went to a different tracker since it was cheaper. You get what you pay for. I went back to Fitbit. Very pleased. Never should have left.Ver más

Great Buy

That is it!!! Finally a good-looking smartwatch combining a fair price point with the features I need the most. All I need in a smartwatch is the ability to track all my health metrics and workouts, while listening good music, and leaving my bulky cell phone in the car.Versa is very light. I like the size and the style. Set up was very easy. I downloaded some apps from the page. Lots of options.I like to spent $200 once and be done. I would never sign up for another monthly bill like Apple Watch 3 cellular connectivity for $10 plus tax (that's the same I pay to watch everything I want on Netflix, nonsense).Fitbit Coach is so nice. The watch shows you the exercise, you start doing it, it vibrates when time is over, and then it shows you the next exercise. I will certainly use it on my business trips.I went for a 5-mile run this morning using a Garmin GPS on my other wrist. When I checked the data the distance gap between the two was just 0.1 miles. I'm not sure if I will use the connected GPS and carry my cell phone for such a small difference.I have been heavily using Versa all day and my battery is still at 79%. I had a Apple Watch 2 and battery would not last 1 day.I'm buying one for my wife for Mother's day.It is hard to regret buying such an useful device for just $199.Ver más

Bugs are better but women will need a different band

My husband purchased this for me for Mother's Day. However, I didn't know it was available in silver aluminum to match the cool silver bangle band I purchased separately until I had the black Versa. So back it went to Amazon only to have to wait the the silver Versa to be back in stock because they were back ordered until the 11th, then the 13th, the 15th, oh you get the idea. I can only assume they were back ordered so they could fix those bugs a lot of the early reviews on here talk about. Well, I've had mine almost a full day so I've had a chance to check a few things out.1. Accuracy. Initial reports show this fitbit being wildly inaccurate in regards of heart rate, steps, flights of stairs, sleep, etc.I looked at heart rate first and while I've always thought my resting heart rate was around 60 this device is showing a resting heartrate of 98. Well I'm sick right now and hopped up on tons of Sudafed and cough meds so rather than assume its wrong I manually took my heartrate radially and it was actually closer to 105. So the heart rate feature is pretty accurate.Next, I looked at steps. A lot of people complained that it counted steps as they drove, moved their hands a lot, or even when they were typing. I did all of those things and really didn't experience any more than the standard margin of error you normally see with pedometers in general. The 20-50 extra steps that were logged that weren't really steps are negligible to me when I'm logging thousands of steps per day.Flights of stairs. Versa reports that it counts an elevation of about 10 feet as a set of stairs. So if you're going up or down stairs that are way more or way less than 10 feet then it won't seem accurate. However, I only went up one flight of stairs when I came up to bed and my arms were packed full. It still managed to be able to tell that I went up just 1 flight of stairs. And despite all the moving I did all day those were the only stairs I climbed and the only stairs it logged. So that appears to be working okay.As for driving in a car, I drove all over the place to day and my step counter didn't really change except for when I swung my arms too much dancing in my seat to Justin Timberlake.Lastly sleep. I'm afraid I can't help you there unless I fall asleep at work. I can't stand having anythjng on my wrists or hands while I sleep, not even my wedding ring, so I can't really track my sleep. Sorry.2. Those things addressed, its time to talk about form and functionality.Form: 0HATE the bands it comes with and not because of the pins. The bands are too bulky and masculine for women to wear everyday. I put mine on and I didn't feel feminine at all. But like I said, I got the silver Versa so it would match this awesome bangle band I purchased separately. I've had several people compliment me just today who are shocked that its a Fitbit. I am concerned about the face scratching or cracking so I may purchase one of those gorilla guards for it.3. Functionality: the setup wasn't as smooth as it was when I had that first black one I sent back. The required 3 part update kept failing and I had to switch from wifi to bluetooth. It failed a few more times on bluetooth but fortunately picked right up where it left off every time, even when i restarted my phone to see if that would help. (It didn't.) Finally after about an hour it was good ti go. However, the fitbit app was very slow and had a hard time pushing the clock faces and apps I chose to the watch. I kept getting error messages. I also wasn't too happy with the selection of apps. The driving one looked cool but the fine print said it was a free trial of a paid app. I would have liked too see more exercise or yoga apps or even just more games. Gotta love games.4. Lastly, the buttons and swiping around through screens has been a little hard to get used to. They're a tiny bit confusing but they don't seem too hard to eventually memorize the layout. Overall, I like it. I'll edit my review if things change.

Just Forget It and Get a Vivioactive 3 Instead

Because so many of my friends use FitBit, for years I have attempted to find one I liked. It's been harder than it should be because, frankly, the programming is utter garbage. First I had a Flex 2 and I used it for Aquazumba (which it supposedly was rated for, being waterproof). After replacing it twice as they kept just hitting a point where they wouldn't sync and FB would just send another one I got frustrated. So I got a Blaze on super sale and it's been okay, battery life is meh, and app synch is spotty because the app is glitchy. When the Versa came out, it solved my non waterproof gripe and I decided to eventually get one. Huge mistake.1) there is no way to do anything with the Versa without connecting it to the app and using the app to set up the watch.2) the Bluetooth programming is terrible. Even the instructions demand you unsync literally every Bluetooth device except the watch from your phone. It's because if anything else is connected, it drops Bluetooth in a matter of seconds. I spent a literal hour troubleshooting and fighting this stupid flaw. If you can't even synch them, there's literally no reason to have the watch as you literally can't set it up.3) if you do manage to get past that hurdle, mine absolutely and entirely failed to find WiFi, which it wants to use to force update the watch. So I manually typed in my wifi info. It still couldn't find it and would just time out and tell me it couldn't synch.4) meanwhile, in the app (which as I've mentioned is buggy) it showed my previous devices as both being currently hooked up and as having full batteries. My Blaze has been out of battery for 3 days and the Flex 2 died in 2017. Obviously neith device is transmitting any data. But in the app, it thinks I'm magically wearing all 3 devices.After troubleshooting Bluetooth for an hour and attempting to synch to WiFi for another hour, then ultimately saying screw it and telling it to just use cell data to connect (which also failed) I'm just done. There is nothing this product could do to redeem itself.5) also, working out isn't just about steps and considering Samsung and Google and Apple all have better fitness tracking in their phones that covers activity points, HR, V02, and auto workout tracking, I have no idea why people are continuing to buy FitBits at all when any smartwatch can do a better job.I'm returning this for a Garmin Vivioactive 3 Music for the same price. It lacks the total lack of quality control and garbage programming I've found across the multiple generations of Fit Bit I own. Instead it has far more features and is a functional smartwatch that is just as waterproof. I'm not even sure what attracted me to the Versa anymore, so don't waste the time and inconvenience of the frustration and return, and just skip this product entirely.

I really love the watch

I really like the watch for the most part, it is the sleep reporting that is not reporting correctly (after multiple resseting of the watch) all else works great. Some days I wake up after I know I slept more than 8 hours and my watch will display one hour of sleep? Really? I can say that it has documented my sleep correctly on a handful of occassions and I have tried to wear it loose and wear it tightly but I notice no difference. Again, I really like the watch I like the reporting of my steps, heartrate and excersising. I found a great clock face that I really love created by Irma Houtzager, I like the colors and the information format. See picture attached for your review. I am updating my review on August 4 of 2019 to say that my Fitbit apparently had some kind of grime on the sensor (located in the back) which I washed it off with a little bit of soap and bleach water and that fixed my Fitbit and now reads my sleep perfectly so I am changing my four star review to a five star review Thanks!Ver más

Great Encouragement to Get Better

I've had a Fitbit One for probably about 4 years. It was originally picked up when I had been a year into working an office sales job when prior to that I was outside on my feet doing landscaping or selling in a garden center. I wanted something to encourage me to get up and move, and at the time just seeing the pedometer and using the app worked out fine for me.Recently, I've made a much more successful effort to better my health, and during that process, I decided something that could monitor my heart rate would benefit me. I had been looking at the Charge line, but this one popped up along the way. I decided to go ahead and go for it. I'd say for me, the extra cost over the Charge 2 that I had been looking at was worth it.I love having a watch always there, instead of trying to remember if my Fitbit One was in my pocket or not. It's customizable and allows you to add or remove workouts you don't want to have on the quick start portion. It tracks my sleep in a way I find fascinating and insightful, as now it means I'm using it to better my sleep habits. It has a silly little game you can add to the apps part that allows me to make walking a fun challenge. It also will tell me once every hour if I've not walked around enough, key for me in my office setting. The text portion is handy for when I'm not looking at my phone, and I love having my daily stats right there if it's not updated to the website dashboard.The biggest thing I still love about it is the heart rate monitor. It helps me see where I'm pushing myself a bit too hard, and has given me a way to know when I should be increasing my intensity during workouts. I want to be more fit heart and lung wise, as well as loose weight. In the two weeks I've had it, I've already improved my resting heart rate, which has encouraged me to continue on!Overall, I love it and hope it continues working for years to come, lasting me as long as my little Fitbit One.Ver más
