VERSa 2

FITBIT

This smartwatch from Fitbit is the second one in the Versa range. It is almost the same size as the first Versa albeit slightly deeper in depth. It comes with all the expected features of a Smartwatch: Steps taken, Distance, Calories burned, Active Minutes, Stairs Climbed, Heart Rate, Sleep Tracking.

It has an improved AMOLED screen and smooth rounded edges, making it more like it's rival Apple Smartwatches. The battery life is stated at 5+days which is of course is relevant to usage. A New feature is an 'Always On' feature which means you can see the time without having to flick the watch or press a button. However this feature comes switched off as default because it does consume more power and conflicts with the 5+ days battery life.

The unique Selling Point of this watch is that it comes with Amazon Alexa Built in. This means that you can ask it questions and replies are displayed on the screen. This can be for a whole host of topics such as how to spell something, facts about countries, and where the closest restaurant is, and what the weather is like. It can also be used to control your Fitbit activites too such as starting a run, telling you how many steps you completed yesterday, and how many calories you have burned. Other useful features include being able to set reminders and alarms by your voice. You can also give a voice reply to a text message providing you are using this via an Android device rather than Apple as this feature isn't currently compatible on Apple.

With regards to price, you can epect to pay around 20% more that the first Fitibit Versa. For the current price click the link below.
