Why can’t we add our own music onto Versa 3, and why can’t we add Spotify music and playlists and Pandora playlists either?
In my opinion this is a major disappointment. Not only can we not load our own songs onto the new Versa 3 and Sense (a feature on previous versas and the Ionic) but we can’t add Pandora playlists or Spotify music either. The only option here is to add Deezer playlists but I rarely come across someone who utilizes Deezer so that’s no help either.
Please, allow use to load our own music onto Versas and Ionic, and if this is not possible please allow us to load Pandora music including playlists, Deezer music including playlists, and Spotify music including playlists. It’s understandable if an upgraded subscription of these services is required but please give us the option.
I believe Garmin and Apple Watch both have the option to load Spotify music onto their respective wearables so it must be possible. It would also be widely appreciated by the community and would surely lead to many sales of this device.
The main problem here is that on previous versa models we had to bring our phones when we went out on a run or walk due to the device’s lack of GPS. We now have built in GPS on Versa 3 and Sense which is amazing but we can no longer download our own music and have severely limited options with services and what we can load with them. It’s not helpful upgrade because we still have to bring our phones to enjoy specific music we enjoy unless you are one of the few who utilize Deezer.
One last thing: Please DO NOT say here’s the Versa 4 you can access all the features listed above and then not include these features on the previous Versa models, or at least Versa 3 and Sense because on these devices can we no longer store personal music we have purchased. Even if we may not be able to store as many songs as previous models a reasonable number should be enough. Music storage is definitely possible because we have Pandora and Deezer storage integrated on all Versa models and the Sense.
Fitbit please read and understand this request. I feel like some of the core features of a fitness - smartwatch device have been neglected that could be added. Aside from music, we also lack the ability to respond to messages on iOS devices or check our recent messages. One feature I would love to see added is the ability to add alarms with a quiet beep instead of just a vibration on devices with a speaker as a simple vibration simply isn’t enough to wake me up. Another is the ability to exit the exercise app while in an exercise mode.
You don’t have to add all these features but even if you just add the music feature that should be enough. However if you go the extra mile and implement some of the suggestions listed above the community would definitely appreciate it and I’m sure your sales would increase as well. I know it takes time but when you have the chance to add these features it would really help!
Thanks for reading! I apologize for any errors while writing this message. I tend to make mistakes so please don’t blame me, we’re all human!
