Fitbit - Versa 2

Not a cheap one, at least in the sense I think you mean, but I have had two Fitbit Versas (2 and 4) that I liked a lot, both for under $200. The 2 did die after like 18 months though, but I think that is atypical. I have never had a full featured smartwatch, so I don't exactly know what I am missing, but I know this has much better battery life and there isn't anything more I want it to do anyway

Hi I also have a versa 2, but somehow it's not picking up the steps/sleep/workouts from Fitbit to Healthy 365 even though I have already done the authorisation stuff. Do you have the same issue or is it just me?

I have had my Versa 2 for 6 years. It’s been near bulletproof, and I have only had to replace the straps (They do break easily.)

I adore my Charge 6 and I bought it last year knowing Google is trying to phase them out. (Couldn't resist the sale price!) In the past I've had some of the original Fitbit trackers: I had the original Classic, a Fitbit One, a Luxe, the Versa, and Versa 2. I enjoyed all of them, especially the Versas and for some reason the One. So the Charge 6 to me is like a happy medium: it's a basic tracker in a wristband, not a smart watch. So it doesn't do everything, but it's got a pretty sleek form factor and it does the basics quite well. I use mine the way it was intended: an activity tracker! I can log my walks and runs, connect it like a heart rate monitor to gym equipment and fitness apps, and... That's pretty much it for me. I like hitting 10k steps and seeing the little animation. I like hopping on a spin bike and seeing my heart rate. I like going for a run and seeing what zone I'm in. It's super basic and that's what I enjoy. The only thing I miss is that my Versas had a C25K app that I liked a lot, but I knew when I bought the Charge 6 that it wouldn't have this functionality... Although I do think it's a missed opportunity.

Maybe it’s just the older models, but my Versa 2 I got in May 2020 is still going strong. I just have to charge it a little more often. Never take it off when I swim or shower. It will be a sad day when I finally have to replace it, it’s counted millions and millions of steps for me.

Just passed 5 years with my Versa 2. Still works great, just have to charge it a bit more often.

My 5 year old Versa 2 is still going strong. Have let it die many times, never took it off when I swam (including in the ocean) or showered. Love this thing.

Same here, have been using Fitbit as I didn’t need something too premium like a Garmin/Apple watch. My versa 2 has been with me for 3-4 years and still working well. But yes Fitbit’s app features has been lacking since Google took over, doubt I will stick with it once my versa gives way.

it does track heart rate, that's primarily what i use it for because i have health issues that make my heart rate super high sometimes. it doesn't track temperature though. (i have the versa 2, so other models might be different)

I have had the Fitbit Versa 2 for 4 years with no issues besides having to charge it every other day now, versus lasting me a week before.

Idk my Versa 2 is 4 years in and still working great!

I just replaced my 2020 Versa 2. I charge it while I shower (and have never used it in water) and it kept going from 90% to 82% in a day to 39%, so I knew it was going to die soon. Luckily I bought a Versa 4 about 3 days before it gave out.

I have a Fitbit versa 2 (no longer sold but the later ones are) it’s slim, comfortable, and I love it

yeah don't my fitbit versa 2s battery went haywire after its 3rd year anniversary. Was doing 4-5 days now its at 1-2 days Ill try to switch to Garmin next year if i can find one in my country

Good for you mate. Ngl you are the first person iam talking to who's fitbit has lasted more than 5 years lol. Mine has something going wrong all of a sudden Heats up a lot at times and stuff. I think the battery is going bad. But hey it was fun while it lasted. I loved fitbit software. A shame Google ended Versa and Sense

I had a Versa 2 that lasted almost 5 years. It still worked, but the battery would hardly last 2 days, and the display was getting a little wonky. I replaced it with a Versa 4 last year, I'll see how long it lasts.

My Versa 2 lasted four years, I guess that’s pretty good as far as these types of things go? Never got it wet, however and rarely ran the battery all the way down. That may have helped.

I have the versa 2 my daughter gave me when she bought her Apple Watch. I love it. At one point I thought I’d upgrade to the AW, but hated it. Ended up returning it and going back to my trusty Fitbit.

Honestly for the price point I would not get a fit bit. I had a charge and versa 2 or 3. The product wasn't great. The features struggled to work outside the basic health tracking and after a 2.5 years it was getting finicky about charging. I got a Samsung galaxy 6 instead. It was about the same price as a versa. All the advertised features work consistently without a fight. It is a much better product. Like you said they're phasing out the fit bit so if I were you I would go with the same brand watch as your phone for ease of use or something like a Garmin.
