The Versa doesn't have onboard GPS, it will only feature connected GPS (using your phones GPS). Also the standard Versa is lacking an NFC chip (so no fitbit pay), so the lack of these features are reflected in the price of the device.

According to Versa specs in the store it does have the NFC chip and you can use Fitbit pay.

There are two versions of the device, the standard one which doesn't have NFC and a special edition which has it but is also more expensive. (see below). I expect quite a lot of confusion regarding this, fitbit really need to make this much clearer.

I agree, very confusing.  On Fitbit's store, if you click on the $199 Versa you see this under features.
