Have you received your Versa?

[sarah_lin8]

Has anyone ordered a rose gold/peach and have it arrive already? I don't know if I should order from Fitbit and have it come April 13-20 or Best Buy and have it come on April 16th... And I really can't wait!

**update**

!!! I just ordered it from Fitbit.com!!!

what software version does it show now?

apparently PR machine misfired by saying it "ships with FitbitOS 2.0 which the Ionic will receive later in the year". Actually Ionic received OS 2.0 weeks ago already (FW 27.32.4.19), even before Versa shipped to reviewers.

It did an update upon syncing and it shows 32.4.19. 

[SunsetRunner]

perfect, thanks. seems they both have the same fw version.

did you get a sensor calibration message after setup? did it occur again after that even though you calibrated already? there's lots of chatter on the ionic forums reg. this issue after 32.4.19...

I didn’t/haven’t, but I also haven’t worn it yet, so I don’t know if that makes a difference...? My screen protector is set to arrive tomorrow (when I ordered, it said April 2! 🙌🏻) so I’ll get to start actually using it about 48 hours after I got it. 😬

Do you suggest buying a screen protector? Is the screen easy to scratch?

I will say better to be safe than sorry . I have ordered one for mine and an outer case that fits over it

[sarah_lin8]

True, is it better to buy the glass ones or the other plastic-like ones. I never used a screen protector before on a watch so I have no idea which works better.

[Gadams99]

I would say dont go cheap on it . The screen protectors are relatively cheap compared to the price of the Versa itself 

[Brobay]

@sarah_lin8 I have an Apple Watch now and I have had both types of screen protectors. I personally don’t like the temper glass they crack so easy. I love the other ones and you can’t tell it is on it. I order my screen protector already and not the tempered glass. 

[jlpayne]

@sarah_lin8 @Brobay same here, I don’t like tempered glass on my phone either. I ordered a set of 6 on Amazon for $7.85 shipped. They are from Elobeth but shipped Prime. I’m so **ahem** with my electronics that I’ve used screen protectors on all my Fitbits, even the little screen on the original Charge HR, lol. A nice scratch free screen just helps the resale value I think. 

[Brobay]

@jlpayne I am the same way I always protect all of my stuff 1 because I feel safe and 2 I can resell it for more money. My screen protectors should be here tomorrow from amazon.

I believe waiting for firmware is the case. Hoping it will have less bugs.

Look how long the Ionic has been out. And still has a lot of problems. 

Fitbit will always rush products to market and worry about them actually working right much later.

[sarah_lin8]

That is true... I have a Charge HR and I am trying to resell it but its hard because I have this scratch on my screen. It's frustrating because when I bought my Fitbit, I purchased a 2-year warranty but when I called them last year, they said they couldn't help me so that was like $30 down the drain. Wish I never bought it.

Can you speak to how it feels/looks on compared to the Blaze? I’m within the return window for my Blaze and on top of the poor battery life/not syncing to phone/not getting notifications/band irritation/etc problems that I’m having I’m considering returning and getting the Versa. Ive also been debating if the Blaze is too large for my wrist because it sits weird with the heart rate sensors that stick out. The shape of the versa looks less harsh than the square shape and looks like it fits a smaller wrist nicer.  

[gibbyhome]

April is right around the corner and shipping says 2-3 weeks, well Monday will be 2 weeks for me and I can't wait any longer ..

I will let you know when my CC is charged and I ordered the Gray/Sliver...

I hope to see something soon... what color did you order.?

I only had the Blaze for a short stint when it was first released so I don’t really remember specifics, but I know I didn’t keep it because I didn’t like how it looked or felt on. The HR sensor on the Versa is flush with the back so it shouldn’t feel weird on you.

Hi @gibbyhome I'm seeing on other retailer sites stating 4/15 is release, but on the rumor sites there is mention of it not shipping until the new OS 2 is released, which happened on the Ionic a week or more ago, so it could be soon. Also on another thread, one store accidently shipped too soon and one very lucky customer already received their pre-ordered Versa. All in all I don't think it will be too much longer. 

I'm all about the rose gold and lavender. What did you order? 

[Tedisa]

I ordered the rose gold and lavender as well....I can't wait!

[Steve69]

Yes. I would say get them as small as possible. Since you really need to have a fitbit on each arm. So at least one works.

If you want something as dependable as other brands.

[RMorst]

I'm hoping it will ship sometime between the 3rd and 10th.  Those are the 3-4 week markers, if you pre-ordered on the 13th.  I ordered the black with the black band.  I ordered 2 additional bands from Amazon, and it's going to be a while before they get here.  

[nmo9]

I ordered the gray/silver, as well. Hoping it will be easy to match with my outfits, especially in the office! 

I ordered through Fitbit & didn't place my order until 3/26, so I'm worried I won't get it until release date. I had originally ordered through Best Buy but I got impatient & wanted it as soon as possible (I heard Fitbit orders will ship before third-party retailers).
