Extremely Unhappy with Versa 2. Should have got a lite

This is a warning for those researching fitbits.  Do not buy the Versa 2 if you are unwilling to also purchase Fitbit premium and a music service. And possibly Amazon prime but I haven't looked that far into it.

The Versa 2 advertises on screen workouts. I find that to be a lie.  I thought that meant like a coach. Well only if you are premium apparently.   There's an exercise 'app' but basically you are just saying hey fitbit, I'm going to walk now and it will time that.

It won't use Pandora or Spotify without a premium account on those services.  Not even if you are at home and on your own wifi. So you can just continue to use your phone for that. 

You can't use the wellness app either, without the Fitbit premium.

And for the past two nights it hasn't tracked my sleep and idk why.  

 

I regret buying the Versa 2.   I spent $130 and I have a watch that tracks my heart rate.

@Tcircle I'm sorry you're unhappy with your Versa 2.  I have mine and I love it.  I don't need a workout coach on my Fitbit screen, so that doesn't bother me.  

The exercise app on the watch is actually quite robust and tracks all your stats for a variety of exercises.  Did you not find what you were looking for when trying to perform an exercise?  

For music, I prefer to use my phone instead of the watch.  Navigation on my phone is just easier anyway and I'd rather see it in full screen.  I will sometimes use the watch to skip songs or pause when I'm at the gym so I don't have to dig out my phone.

Anyway, that's just my personal experience.  I love my Versa 2.

I basically got what I expected with my versa-2; it tracks my fundamental sleep data, counts daily steps, Oximeter reports constant pulse during exercise & rest, and I can input fluid(water)intake. No, I do not pay for advanced tracking features; sleep is the only such advanced feature I 'may' decide to pay the price to use for awhile as a test. The great drawback, for me, is constant loss of password, even though I use Apple KeyChain so the password IS CORRECT!!!!! I've tried to research THAT problem; but find no advice on user forums. Still, it was worth the price to get the basic feature reports even though it's a

'PAIN IN THE **ahem**' to deal with constant password change.

I’m most upset that has Alexa but no Amazon music. What a waste, I don’t use Spotify or Pandora as we pay for the AM family account....but I can’t access that at all...
