Downgrade from surge to versa

[Vwrx]

I cannot believe I have to run with my phone to track a run on Strava using the versa , I'm so disappointed . Now I'm stuck with this versa . I'm going back to my Surge ! Waste of money !!

Sometimes it helps to read the features of any thing before to buy it. Nowhere it is written that Versa has GPS.

[Vwrx]

Yes and nowhere it says it doesn't !

Look under Real-Time Pace and distance

So where does it say it does not have onboard GPS ?

[Giampi71]

Yes you're right.I also noticed it doesn't say it does not have:

- blood pressure sensor

- ECG sensor

- Infrared emitter for remote controlling

- ultrasonic emitter to be used as dogs whistle

- laser pointer

- lightsaber (Star Wars)

But in the specs it is written quite clearly what it does have:

Fitbit Versa Family Sensors & Components

• 3-axis accelerometer
• 3-axis gyroscope
• Optical heart rate monitor
• Altimeter (not included on Versa Lite Edition)
• Ambient light sensor
• Vibration motor
• Wi-Fi antenna (802.11 b/g/n)
• SpO2 sensor
• NFC

The equivalent to your surge would be the Ionic.
