Features of the Versa Lite incorrect

[SunsetRunner]

Just a heads up.  It appears that the layout of fitbit.com on an Android device has been changed. I noticed when you look at the features for the Versa Lite it says that it tracks stairs climbed and swimming laps. This device does not track either of those.

Click on the link below and scroll down to the pink box that says "See all features and specs".

As for swim laps, none of the Versa's display this in real time.

@Rich_LaueI just checked it out on a computer thinking it might be a little different, but it's not.  They are claiming that the Versa Lite counts stairs and swimming laps.  They are going to have a lot of people pretty ticked off if they buy this device because they think it has those features and it doesn't.  Fitbit does not need anymore unhappy customers.

Question for you @SunsetRunner after the user syncs their swim, does laps then show up in the app? 

I checked the box and the user manual and the store, I see no reference to stairs for the Versa Lite.

As already linked by @SunsetRunner definitely the store shows climbed floors and swim laps tracking as features. (Link)

@Giampi71 is spot on, the Versa Lite store page definitely states it can track floors climbed and swim laps

Has anyone gone for a swim with the Versa Lite? 

We know that during a swim there is no lap function shown but after a sync, can someone confirm that the event doesn't show laps? 

Their was a post, months ago, that laps where shown in the app for one of the trackers, but not live on the wrist.

@Rich_Laue  sorry for not replying sooner.  I don't have my settings set to notify me when someone comments or mentions me.  The Versa Lite does not count laps at all.  Nor does it count flights of stairs.  Syncing will not make these magically appear.

@Rich_Laue  bear in mind there are three different Versas.  Original Versa, Versa Lite and Versa 2.  Some people may not properly reference the specific Versa they are talking about when posting.  So it can be confusing.  But I assure you the Versa Lite does NOT count stairs or laps.  If somebody said it did, they don't have a Versa Lite.

The Versa Lite never claimed to count stairs.

On the shop fitbit site it does state that it counts stairs, was considering purchasing until I saw all the posts saying it in fact doesn't The shop page is wrong and clearly fitbit doesn't care to correct it.
