Does anyone know if the new Versa 2 will measure heart rate better than the Versa does? 

 

Thanks,

No Fitbit device measures HR while swimming (before it was "error" when HR was measured for autodetected swimming but Fitbit "corrected" that 😉 ). There is no any info on Versa 2 and swimming so I don't expect anything to be different for the new watch. The HR whilst swimming isn't being measured by the design and it's very unlikely to be changed.

HR is not there ... but I can understand that it would be difficult in water. Sadly, all other useful swim functionality has been removed from Versa 2 so it’s not really a swim tracker any longer.
