Fitbit - Versa 3

I have the FitBit Versa 3 and it lasts me a good few days before it needs to be charged again. It has sleep tracking, fitness tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, and way more

exactly same thing but with a versa 3. I haven't been able to accept calls on it for almost 2 years. It will show the call and give me the option to answer or hang up, but it wont connect. It has other issues too..but im lost trying to think of where to go after it. I dont really want much change (nor can I afford it)

Same here. My Versa 3 died and rather than ‘upgrade’ to a significantly worse specced Versa 4 I went with Apple Watch 10. Hate the poor battery life, and even after 18 months I can’t learn to love the Apple metrics / UI. Really miss the Fitbit functionality and data if old. A case study in the purchaser of a company then killing of what was best about it.

I got a versa 3 June 2021, and it still works. I just replaced it because the screen crack was bugging me. I went with a Sense 2, and hope it lasts just as long.

EDIT: thank you to everyone who gave advice! Today I adjust my Fitbit strap just a hair looser, put it one finger above my wrist bone, and set it to boot camp. It was perfect today! Really appreciate you guys. I have my OTF monitor, but I like having my Fitbit because that’s where I actually keep track of everything health wise. I’ve been struggling to find the right exercise to set it to so that I don’t have to change during the workout. Lately I’ve been using circuit training but I don’t think that’s quite right (it could be the best match though). I tried the interval Setting and it wanted to like set the intervals for me or something that I didn’t quite understand. I’m seriously considering replacing my Fitbit versa 3 with a garmin vivoactive5 because I read that you can customize workouts. Can anyone tell me if that’s true and how easy it is? My Fitbit really irritates me because for like half the workout it’s not reading my HR correctly. My OTF monitor will show 156 and my Fitbit shows 97. I’ve tried cleaning it and moving it and tightening it and loosening it, but I feel like it’s just not very good at tracking for a workout like OTF. Suggestions?

I’m happy with the OTF. I feel it’s pretty accurate with my level of exertion. OTF isn’t the problem. It’s my Fitbit. I am a data nut and when it shows 15 minutes of continuous HR below 112 when my HR on OTF shows 120-150, that’s a problem. Fitbit is what I use to track everything and it’s doing a shitty job lol. Thats why I’m trying to trouble shoot. Really considering just going to the garmin.

My versa 3 screen popped off while swimming and that was that I got myself a galaxy watch 8 and it's totally different experience, it's like having something as smart as your phone on your wrist if never buy a Fitbit ever again Never forgiven them for when they removed the music storage from the watch I already owned and I used that every day run without my phone with music . I felt cheated

Definitely.  My versa 3 has been going for years and I’m very happy with it. Before that I had a Versa 2 for many years. Before that I had something else and it lasted a long time too. I hope I haven’t just jinxed myself 🤣

Concur. My Fitbit versa 3 went spicy pillow, so it was replaced with the versa 4 which is somehow a downgrade. Trash product that I hate.

I have a fitBit Versa3 that I'm not using anymore, I can give it to you for 5k yen, I'll also throw in a few extra straps if you want.

14 year fitbit user. 5 years into a Versa 3, no problems like what is often described on this sub. It does everything I want, only have to charge every 4 or 5 days. Steps, heartrate, Google pay, alarm, GPS. I know others (Garmin, which is the holy grail) have way more features, but I do not use those things.

NOOOOO. I’ve been a dedicated Fitbit user for years and have been mostly happy with the units and the customer service. That was before Google bought them. I have a versa three. And earlier this week they dropped some functionality that used to be in the basic plan and are trying to push you towards the premium.I usually use it mainly for tracking my steps and Sleep. Now you only get the length of sleep, not a sleep score, not in depth sleep analysis. And today it didn’t even give me my length of sleep. NO LONGER A HAPPY FITBIT CUSTOMER!

I recently switched to the pixel watch 2. My versa 3 crapped out & I wanted to keep my fitbit stats. I'm not thrilled with what Google has done to fitbit but I wanted to be able to used the Google Assistant feature to set reminders, etc... (one feature I use the most). I run 6 days a week & have been happy with the exercise tracking. I used to throw my fitbit on a charger when I took a shower in the mornings, so the daily charging feature isn't a downside for me. I got the 41mm because I have VERY small wrists & i like the look. I'm happy with my choice....so far...😄

I feet the same. When my versa 3 crapped out I went with a Pixel 2 warch in order to keep the app. There were too many changes on the versa 4 (no Google assistant was a huge deal breaker for me. I use it all the time). I've been happy with my pixel...the battery isnt great but I just put it on the charger when I shower & I haven't had an issue.

Versa 3. Use it to track workouts/calorie burn, as well as my sleep, which is horrible. It's me, not the watch. Also wear an Oura ring for sleep. Same terrible scores.

I have a versa 3. I have had many different ones over the years.

Hey, I know I'm super late to this conversation, but I'm literally at the same point with my Versa 3. Got it for Christmas 2021 and it just died. Agonising over Sense 2 and Versa 4. Are you still happy with your Versa 4? In my country Fitbit is expensive, approx $400 for either of these, with sense 2 being the slightly more expensive option.

Google needs be upfront about discontinuing Fitbits. My much loved versa 3 just died and I’ve discovered, when trying to buy a new one, that it’s no longer being manufactured and those that are in use aren’t getting updates. I’d just renewed my premium subscription before it died. So I chose to move away from Google and not go through this again with another Google Fitbit. I’m now trialling a Huawei 3 https://www.theverge.com/22982833/best-fitbit-watch-fitness-tracker

Fitbit versa 3. I bought one off vinted for £20.

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.
