I have a Fitbit sense I purchased a year ago after my versa 2 screen started having display issues after 4 plus years and the charge was down to 3 days. I love fitbits because of the long battery life and it has enough features for me. I don’t want a watch that has a smaller screen or needs charged daily … been there before and didn’t like it.

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?

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.

Im still using my Versa2 from 5 years ago lol I put it though hell at work. Screen is a little scraped up but it runs as if its new lol didn't realize the newer devices were less durable

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.

I got my fitbit versa 2 on ebay for $50. It is certified refurbished. You can also use backmarket. I think if you just go for a higher quality brand and are okay with an older version secondhand, it will last you a while and won’t be too expensive. In the past I bought some cheap ones- $25 on amazon. But I went through 3 of those in a year. It’s been 2 years and i’m using my refurbished $50 fitbit.
