Hi! I'm considering to purchase a Fitbit Versa since my current Fossil Q Marshall is having screen issues. One of the current feature that is useful for me is to be able to tell what times are my appointments for the day by just looking at the watch face. This feature is available if I use Microsoft Outlook watch face.
So my question is, does Versa have similar kind of watch face?

The TODAY clock face by GoonBits does have an option to display the next calendar event (synced through Google Calendar) on the clock face. It doesn't show a list of events that you can swipe through, but at least shows the next upcoming event. I also downloaded the My Agenda app to view all of my events for the day. Hope that helps.

As far as I’m aware, there is no ability at the moment to pull calendar information from your phone and display it on your watch.

Hello,
I have an iPhone 6S and a Versa and I am able to get notifications of appointments on my Veras easily.
When I have a calendar appointment, I selected the alert option and my Versa has notified me of the appointment and I can see what the appointment is.
I am using the Arc Activity clock face.
Hope this helps

There’s a difference between being notified of appointments, which the Versa can do, and displaying the calendar events for the day, which it can’t. I think it was the latter the OP was referring to.

Not quite a watch face, but there is an app* called My Agenda that will display 16 appointments for you. Perhaps you could set it as one of the first apps and access it by pushing the top/bottom right button?
* There could be more apps doing this, this is just the one I remember.
Edit: Looking at it now, there's ore of them like Upcoming or Tear-Off-Calendar.

Yes, this is exactly what I want! Thanks for your help.
If you don't mind, can you post a picture of the watch face?

Sorry, I wasn't able to insert an image here in the forum without a public source to post online. Just go to Clock Faces in the Fitbit App, then select the All clocks toggle button at the top, then click the search icon, and type GoonBits and search. The TODAY clock face should appear as an option to select.

Yes, would be great to show the list of appointments for the day. I already get the notifications from outlook to my phone and versa, and with no special watch face

I have Versa 2 and I use Outlok on my iPhone and the Agenda app does not connect to the Outlok Calendar app.
Outlok manages calendar content within the app and not on the iphone calendar. The outlook app can sync contacts to the iOS contacts so you know who people are when that call you but it cannot sync events into the iOS calendar. This is due to the security nature of how Outlok supports device and application wipes via a corporate MDM.
The agenda app on the fitbit is only looking at the iOS calendar and the following are the only options for solving this:
1. Manually copy Outlok events to a personal calendar (hotmail or gmail) that is the synced to your iOS calendar.
2. Someone said to forward events to your personal calendar that is synced to iOS but his would notify everyone that invites you to a meeting that you are also forwarding the meeting invite to a personal address as well which is not a good route to take. Most companies watch for and block this type of activity.
3. Purchase a 3rd party sync utility to sync your Outlok calendar to another personal calendar that is synced with the iphone. This to be up and running on a computer at all times, costs additional money, and it complex.
4. Fitbit to provide an app that connects with O365 services like they have done with so many other web services.This would open the door for not only connectint the Outlok calendar to the Agenda app, you could add additional notifications about ToDo, Planner, Tasks, SharePoint, Teams, Skype, Etc...
I called Fitbit support and I'm SUPER dissatisfied with their response which was none of the above options. **** They said they can't fix it. ****
Millions of users are on O365 and more and more people being moved to modern application environments such as the Outlok application in order to adhere to corporate security requirements. Fitbit needs to keep up with these changes and provide options. The level 2 support contact I spoke with today did not even have the ability to escalate the issue, register a complaint or capture a suggestion. He just said - we can't fix it. I'm surprised and disappointed with this type of service from a company like Fitbit.
I was really looking forward to having the ability to use my watch as a tool to ensure I make meetings on time and see my upcoming events at a glance. That would be a great feature for me and I plan to look at other options in the market for this.

App "Upcoming" displays next ten events for me but doesn't always update until you've been into the fitbit app on your phone. "ChronoAppt" watch face will display next event when tapped. Other recommended calendar apps I've tried are currently down and frequently "break" when gmail or outlook update their stuff.

I agree, I also use the ChronoAppt watch face and it is the best for me. I have tried the other calendar clockfaces and for me they have not worked.I also put a suggestion of a reminder clock face that needs people to vote on before fitbit makes one.That is what the fitbit customer support person told me.
