Fitbit Versa Special Edition Smart Watch, Lavender Woven, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

So, I started exercising a lot about 6 months ago, and decided I HAD to pre-order this when it became available. Before I started exercising I owned a Fitbit Flex 2 just to track my sleep since I have sleep issues. That Fitbit is very basic and basically just a pedometer, so this was quite the upgrade. When I started exercising I realized how important a heart rate tracker was to my exercise, and also more basic fitness trackers can't track stages of your sleep, which I really wanted. I am in LOVE with this watch, and so glad I waited for this instead of getting the Ionic. A lot of people ask if they should get the Ionic or Versa. Well, it's up to you, but the Ionic is $100 more and I personally like the style of the Versa much more. It's much more sleek and elegant. However, if you have really large arms you may want the Ionic. I have tiny arms so it was an easy choice for me. The only thing better about the Ionic is the GPS, and I don't use that....so if that it is important to you then you definitely need the Ionic. Anyway, this watch is a great competitor to the Apple Watch. And you don't have to have an iPhone. Be warned, most Android devices are not "supported" by Fitbit, but will still work....however, they may be glitchy from time to time. I have an LG Stylo 3 Plus, a really new phone, and every now and then I will have syncing issues - it just WON'T sync. I have had to contact Fitbit a few times to help me, both with this and the Flex 2. Their customer support was actually surprising helpful and fixed it each time. However, I also have an iPad....so if it won't sync I will just sync to the iPad for awhile. But I know that not everyone has that as an alternative. One thing I love about the Versa is that you forget you're even wearing it. It's really, really comfortable and not obtrusive at all. It's very trendy and modern-looking. I got the special edition mainly for the lavender woven band, but it also comes with a chip where you can make payments on. I actually haven't set this up yet and be warned that it doesn't work with all banks (and almost certainly not a small local bank), but it's an interesting option I will probably get around to using eventually. I am mostly using this for the exercise and the sleep. I have to be honest, I don't care much about the music and while originally I didn't think I'd care about notifications, I actually really appreciate the notifications now because I never miss an important phone call now because I didn't hear my phone over noise or something like that. Exercise - most important thing for me, of course. I love how it tracks your resting heart rate, calories burned, the fitbit coach. I know that Fitbit has a tendency to over-count steps though, so keep that in mind. I keep my step goal about 2,000 over because of it. Sleep - One of the most fascinating things to me is how it tracks your sleep cycles. I have some serious sleeping issues so this is really helpful to me. It shows your REM, deep sleep, light sleep, and awake. Don't be alarmed to see how little deep sleep you get...the majority is supposed to be light sleep. I also noticed that when I switched from the Flex 2 to this, that I was getting a lot less sleep....both track and subtract your "awake/restless" time, but the Versa seems to be much more sensitive to it than the Flex 2. So for nights that the Flex 2 maybe recorded 9 hours of sleep, the Versa is tracking maybe 6 hours and 45 minutes, depending on the night. I know my sleep is bad, but I honestly this it may be a little TOO sensitive. Overall, I am so happy with this watch!

First off let just start with saying how much I love Amazon! I pre-ordered for the Fitbit Versa SE lavender from Best Buy. Online it said "guaranteed in store pickup by 4/16 (release day). On that day I had to find out that my watch never shipped! I ordered it way in advance. They were quick to charge my card but couldn't even notify me that it was on backorder. I was pissed! I logged into my Amazon account to find that i could order this watch (which was on backorder everywhere else) and have it delivered that day. Totally made my day! So thank you Amazon and the customer service rep i spoke to just to make sure it wasn't some fluke. As for the watch itself, I freaking love it. Setup was easy. Make sure you do it over wifi and no one else is connected so it can go faster. I downloaded an album from Deezer even though I'm still on their free 30 day trial. I'm able to leave my phone at home or in the car and listen to my music with my earbud or headphones. It still needs another update and like all other technology that just release, it has its bugs. Over all I'm super stoked with my purchase.

12 day update: On day 10 I noticed white vertical lines starting to go through the screen. I will post a picture of them. About an hour or so later the whole screen went blank. It was still tracking my steps and heart rate but the screen no longer worked at all. The entire display broke. After 10 days of light use. I never even got the thing wet. I contacted Fitbit to try to figure out what was going on. They had no idea. I was required to email them a video of me putting the Versa on the charger and then tapping the screen to show it wasn't working (I guess so they knew I wasn't lying about it being broken???). After they determined that, yes, the Versa was broken, I would have to send it back to them and then they would send me a replacement. That would likely take 3-4 weeks. I asked if this was happening to other devices, trying to figure out if there really were bad batches because I have read a lot of bad reviews. I originally loved the Versa and honestly still want to but I can't believe it didn't even last two weeks. Original Review: I got the Versa to replace the Alta I lost last year. I couldn’t be happier with it. I love the way it looks and feels on my wrist (especially with it being so lightweight). I was afraid it would look too bulky or big on my small wrist but it looks amazing! It also feels very secure on my wrist which I’m happy about. I lost my Alta when it fell off of my wrist without me noticing. Doesn’t feel like there’s any chance that could happen with the Versa. Set up for me was very quick – around 30 minutes (which is how long the Versa tells you it will take). Quick, easy, and ready to wear in less than an hour after unboxing it. My Versa came 70% - 80% charged already which was nice to see. I read a lot of reviews from people complaining about the Fitbit logo on the screen but it’s honestly not that noticeable – at least to me it’s not. The display is nice and clear. There are SO MANY watch faces you can choose from but not a huge app selection. I did buy the Versa for fitness purposes only so the lack of apps doesn’t bother me at all. It seems to track my steps and heart rate accurately which was my overall main concern. Notifications look great. I have an iPhone 7 Plus and the notifications pop up immediately. Of course I can’t reply to texts or answer phone calls but that doesn’t bother me. I have my phone on me 90% of the time anyway. The notifications are helpful when I am at work and keep my phone on silent in my desk. I’ve only had it for a day but I’m in love…especially with the lavender woven band. My mom liked it so much after seeing it that she ordered herself the same one. Will update this review if things start going downhill with it.

It is not much good having a watch that you cannot charge - the charger has died in under 4 months and getting in contact with Amazon to organise a replacement is frustrating

Quería un artículo que me ayudara a contar más la actividad que hago en el día, y debatí mucho entre este producto o un Apple Watch. Me decidí por este porque, además de ser mucho más económico, no necesito tener muchas aplicaciones en mi reloj. La verdad supero mis expectativas! Puedo ver mis mensajes en el, ver si estoy recibiendo una llamada, tengo aplicaciones básicas como el clima, calculadora, etc al alcance de mi muñeca!

Response time of the screen is very poor. Screen does not light up after pressing buttons. It counts steps even when you are in a car/bus. Very bad experience. Would not recommend fitbit to anyone.

Realmente una de las mejores compras, después de haber usado otras marcas. Excelente funcionalidad y me encantó el color y todo. 👌

No lo compren, ni de broma no cuenta bien las distancias recorridas, cuando quiere sincronoza con el móvil, y cuando no. Derrepente ya no me dejo cargarle música, fatal, simplemente fatal.
