Good day,

 

I would like to know if I stay in South Africa and I am thinking of buying my Fitbit Versa in US while there on holiday.  Will by Fitbit Verse work is South Africa?  Do I have to register anything to work, like subscriptions?

@StellavdW Fitbit will work anywhere. You will need to create Fitbit account to be able to use the tracker. The account is free. No subscription necessary. Just a word of advice since you mention that Fitbit is not sold in SA and you're planning to purchase it in the US. If you ever need to use the warranty, you will need to provide Fitbit with a mailing address in the US. They will not ship to South Africa. You will also need to purchase Fitbit from the authorized seller e.g. Bestbuy.

 

ETA: If you're planning to buy Special Edition (with Fitbit Pay), it will not work unless you have the credit card of the supported financial institution. I do not think any banks in SA is supported. So, might as well purchase regular Versa.
