I am pretty set on upgrading to Versa, just wondering if it's worth is to get the Special Edition. I don't really care about the band so much but I'm wondering about the NFC chip. I've never used any type of touchless pay system because, well frankly I'm just not that "techy." But it is an intriguing idea to me! Question is, is fitbit pay accepted at enough places to make the NFC option worth the extra money? Regular places like grocery stores, walmart, target, gas stations? 

 

Also, a couple small (but important to me) things... is there a watch face with a second hand? And a calculator for the versa? (Nursing student here.) I currently have a flex 2 and no smartwatch experience, so I want to make sure if I do invest that this thing will work for the things I need it for! And does it show the weather by any chance?

 

I already know the text quick reply feature hasn't been released yet. That's ok, I can wait 🙂

I bought mine 2 days ago. Already I've noticed the step count is massively inaccurate and you apparently also walk when you sleep and drive, and this morn8ng I've apparently already walked 2k steps (I've been out of bed 1 hour) and I'm unable to sync. So I would say sorry, but it's not worth the purchase. Seems very buggy at the moment.

I have the opposite opinion. I have the SE Versa and I love it.  A weather app comes on the Versa, lots of clock faces have second hands and there is a calculator app available.  I bought the SE and so far have only used it at Whole Foods and CVS (I am not a big shopper) but I love paying with my wrist!
