I was planning to get the Versa 2 but I see complaints about how hard it is to change out the bands.  I was hoping to buy several bands. I hate to spend extra for the Versa 3 just for the quick change. How long are you finding that it takes to change a band?

Hi @PecosRose - good question. In my experience, you need strong fingers and a steady hand to change the band on the Versa 2. Like you, I tend to buy several bands, matching them to my outfit or to the season but when I used the Versa 2, I stuck to just one band. I gladly welcomed the change to the connection with the Versa 3. Easy and quick! I’m back to ordering different bands. But there are other reasons to consider the Versa 3. It has built in GPS, new PurePulse 2.0 heart rate sensor, which improves accuracy and you also have the ability to take calls on the watch when connected to Bluetooth. You can adjust call volume and send calls to voicemail. You can read more about the differences here. The Versa 3 gets my vote. I retired, after working many years in IT. I’ll never forget the advice I received from a good friend there. He asked - why would you invest in old technology when new, better technology is available?

I'm leaning to the Versa 3 even though I don't need GPS. The only thing that is holding up my decision is the fact that I can't get on demand oxygen levels. I'm considering the Garmin venu SQ for that. I also wish the Versa 3 didn't have an extra watch face to load in order to read those levels. I wonder if that could be changed in an update or if it would need a whole new version.  I'm also wondering how important on demand readings would be rather than just overnight. I'm assuming that also would need a new version
