Two years with a Versa

[jackog]

My thoughts on the Fibit Versa after two years. I am in my mid 70's so do not use much of the fitness capabilities (did I need a fitness tracker in the first place?).
First appearance, the Versa is a very handsome watch especially with the metal milanese loop strap that I fitted, only problem with this type of strap is that it makes it awkward to fit watch into the charging dock. Would have been better if cable entry was to the side of the charger.
Sleep monitoring was awful to begin with but seems to have improved with firmware updates. Heart rate monitoring seems reasonably accurate. Steps well the best I can say is gives you a rough estimate.
My biggest bugbear is waking up the watch!, often takes several violent wrist twists to wake it up, conversely at night just turning in bed is often enough to light up the whole room as it awakes unwantedly.
So would I buy one again, don't think so , quite like the look of the Samsung watch 3 out soon.

As for waking up the watch, a violent twist is counter productive.

Hold your arm horizontal an rotate wrist 90 degrees. I find it works +-  about up to 30 degrees from horizontal. 

I have the same type of band and haven't noticed a problem with charging.

How many people use all the features of their smart phone?
