In addition to fitness tracking, offers Fitbit OS with access to numerous apps and Pay.
The Fitbit Versa offers a mix of smartwatch and activity tracker features, and its large, squared-off touchscreen is attractive and easy to navigate.
The new female health-tracking features, which are a welcome addition, could use more customization and use the rest of the data Fitbit collects to give you more insights.
Fitbit claims the Versa is one of its lightest smartwatches yet due to its ultra-thin, anodized aluminum case and slightly tapered and angled design that has been built to fit small or large wrists.
The Versa feels small to me. But that compactness is a positive. It feels less bulky than the 42mm Apple Watch Series 3. But it's also wide -- wider than the Apple Watch -- and the square screen has a lot of bezel around it. Still, I like the design a lot.
Unlike some other smartwatches, the Versa won’t dominate on your arm. Its aluminium body is slim, compact and comfortable to wear, sitting flat against your wrist. It looks far slicker than the clunky, angular Ionic.
The Fitbit Versa’s most impressive new addition is the inclusion of female health tracking, and Fitbit began rolling it out for iOS and Windows on May 7 (users can access it on the Ionic as well). The new feature allows you to log your period, record symptoms, and receive push notifications two days before and on the day of your predicted period start date. For easy access, you can add the tile to your personalized health dashboard on the Fitbit app
I can confidently say the Versa is the most comfortable Fitbit wearable — smartwatch or fitness tracker — I've ever used. Even on my bony wrists, the Versa feels good. It's light enough that I hardly ever noticed I had it on, and it didn't bother me at all when I wore it to bed.
At $200, the Versa is relatively affordable—certainly much more affordable than its close competitor
One of the Versa's more interesting features is Fitbit's female health tracking, which is now live. The idea is that Fitbit's female health tracking lets women log and track their menstrual cycles and symptoms with the view to comparing the data to activity and sleep patterns to spot correlations.
You'll get around four to five days of battery on a single charge with the Versa, and that's with continuous heart rate monitoring.
