Versa 2 Screen protector

[philwr]

Hi! I just ordered a Versa 2 smartwatch and have been unsuccessfully searching for a screen protector that does not need to be removed in order to charge the watch. Does anyone know of a Versa 2 screen protector that can remain on the watch while the watch is charging? Thanks for your help!

My understanding is that it is imperative to have a screen protector on the Versa 2 to protect it from scratches, etc. I am surprised that Fitbit does not sell any such protectors.

Hi @philwr. Welcome to the forums.

It's great that you got the Versa 2 and thanks for asking about the screen protector. As you know, currently Fitbit doesn't manufacturer or sell screen protectors for our products, however you can wait to receive more suggestions from our members. Just take in mind that non-official products can interfere with the functionally of the watch.

I'll be around if you have another question.

You can find some on Amazon.  I have one on my Versa, but note that the Versa and Versa 2 screen protectors are not compatible...the screen size changed between the 2.  I have a tempered glass one on my Versa, but it seems that the tempered glass ones don't adhere very well to the Versa 2's curved screen. For the Versa 2, I'm not seeing any tempered glass ones with good reviews, but some of the flexible (aka "film") ones have decent reviews. 

I would definitely put a screen protector on it...I'm constantly bumping mine on countertops and doorknobs.  I hit it hard enough to crack one screen protector (the Versa was unscathed)!  Maybe the Versa 2 has a tougher screen, but I would not chance it.

Thanks for your post. The question is, how can I protect my Versa 2 from scratches, etc? In several reviews, I read that these watches scratch easily and need to have their screens protected. Please advise what to do to protect my watch. Thank you.

Thanks, TDubMan! All of the better rated Versa 2 screen protectors specified that they had to be removed in order to charge the watch. I agree that I should protect the watch and not take a chance that it won't get scratched or cracked without protection.

The ones that are "cases" might need to be removed to charge the Versa 2, but the screen protectors that adhere to the screen will not need to be removed to charge it. Here are some examples from a quick Amazon search (NOTE that I have not used any of these since I don't have a Versa 2!):
