To Versa or not to Versa?

[Niecy17]

I had the Blaze, didn't pan out so well. Thinking about the Vesa now. Based on your personal experience, would you recommend it?

Hi, based on my personal experiences with the Versa, despite all the negative posts, I will certainly recommend it. It's an amazing device, whic works flawlesly for me and with the right settings, the battery will last for 5 to 6 days. What phone are you using? Just to know whether your device is compatible with Fitbit.

That would depend, does the Blaze meet your expectations?

What is it that you want from the Versa?

Can not say if I would recommend without knowing more about your needs.

Hi, just a note: the Blaze is not a Smartwatch, the Versa is. That might be his consideration to change devices and wants to know our personal experiences with the Versa. 

[Niecy17]

I said,... based on YOUR personal experience.

I like how you explained that one of them isn't a smartwatch, those kinds of things make a big difference. You'd recommend it, that's also good. Amazon, and other sites like businessfincialpost.com and more call the blaze a smartwatch which confuses people who are new to this concept. I'd say it's a smartwatch-looking fitness tracker.  Compatibility won't be an issue for me.

Hi, you're right, the Blaze is a "smartwatch-looking fitness tracker" (and a very nice product - used it myself for almost a year), but it's surely not a Smartwatch. The first real Smartwatch build by Fitbit is the Fitbit Ionic, the successor of the Blaze. Just one question: Why is compatibility no issue for you, just curious?

[Niecy17]

Hi, thank you😊 All that means is, I have access to phones that can pair
with the specs of the Versa. So compatibility won't be my hang up, no pun
intended. lol

@Niecy17 since you already have a Fitbit the Versa well connect the same way 

Fitbit also makes the ionic with it's built in GPS if you used the GPS a lot with the Blaze.

Now if the Blaze seemed to be more than what your needs are, than the Charge 3 might be with looking into

Based on your personal experience, what do you have to say about the Versa??
