New Versa 2 Face Diameter

[Pamj77]

Hi.  Does anyone know the if the actual case diameter will be bigger than the Versa?   It is saying 8% bigger...is that just the screen view or the whole diameter?  I have a small frame and the Versa is still too big.  I was hoping the Versa 2 was a bit smaller.  Thank you.

I can't find any documentation to confirm but visually comparing them the Versa 2 looks ever so slightly taller and thicker with the width about the same. It's certainly not smaller as you had hoped.

Hi, @Pamj77 - Here is a comparison of the sizing specs for the Versa and Versa 2. Hope that helps.

Thank you!!!!  The Versa 2 looks definately bigger.  Bummer.  Hoping it was smaller than Versa.  Appreciate this comparison!

[Pamj77]

Thank you! Another tmreply actually sent me a photo of the Vera and Versa
2 on her wrist. The 2 is definately bigger. Disappointing! Thanks for
your response.

Hi @Pamj77 I was able to take a side by side photo of the Versa 2 and the Versa. The difference is not as great as I would have thought. Like you, I have a small wrist and was somewhat concerned about the V2 being larger. But I find it very comfortable. I really cannot tell the difference on my wrist.  If you want to test it yourself, keep in mind that most retailers offer a period of time when you can return it if you don’t like it. Best Buy does for sure.

And what is Versa 2 screen resolution in pixels?

[SteveH]

I can't see a reference to that in the official documentation (I'm sure someone will post if I missed it) but I did see in an online review:

"While the original Versa and Versa Lite have LCDs, the Versa 2 uses a new AMOLED screen. It has the same 300-by-300 resolution, but can display much darker blacks and more vivid colors."

The thing missing from the dimensions @SunsetRunner posted is the depth, with the Versa 2 being slightly bigger in depth. With that said though, I'm finding the Versa 2 extremely comfortable. 

[Pamj77]

Can you post a picture wearing it? Thanks.

I've actually got very skinny wrists for a guy (using small leather band).

Here you are, @Pamj77 . My cat photo bombed the photo. I didn’t have the heart to crop her out. 

You’ll see I do not have a standard Fitbit band on my Versa 2. I have arthritis in my hands and the narrower third party band keeps the V2 comfortable on my wrist.

live your cat!  Thanks for the photo.     I have to ask how did so many of you got a Versa 2 already?  Not due out til Sunday.  I'm jealous.  Andcwsnt vcd to shop where you do??????

“Patches” says thank you, @Pamj77!  @N8teGee and I are both members of Fitbit’s Community Council. As members, we often have a chance to receive our devices before everyone else so that we may learn as much as we can in order to answer pre-sale questions and to be able to jump in to help once the new device is released. As you can probably tell, he and I are pretty excited about the new Versa 2! 

[Pamj77]

That's great! I would love to do that. I've spent alot of time which I
have exploring this. Thanks for your support!!!!!

Hi Pamj77,  I tried attaching a photo of both the original Versa and the Versa 2 on my wrist, but it seems the photo is too large to attach.  Bummer.  If someone has tips about how to do this, I’d appreciate the assistance.   Like you, Pamj77, I have a small frame and wrist.  but I like them both very much and find each of them extremely comfortable to wear.  Perhaps I’ll be able to attach a photo later.  

[Pamj77]

Can you put them both on the same wrist and take one photo?

[AP456]

Hi Pamj77,  I did take a photo of both Versas on my wrist, but the photo was too big to download.  Let me try one more thing....

[Pamj77]

Screen shot then send?

[AP456]

Pamj77, my last post included the photo.....I can see it in my fitbit community post, but it seems it’s not visible to you, is that right?  If you can now see it, I believe the perspective of the photo is not true to how it looks.  The photo is a close up which makes it appear larger.
