Voice Text for Versa - To respond msg

Voice to text msg response would be great for this watch! Bluetooth headphones usually have mics on them and that's what I use for working out and listening to music

Hi @Fran001, this is a great suggestion! I think that it might help a lot of users who uses headphones throughout the day. Let's see what other think.

I thought this would have this or at least be coming down the track, as you did buy pebble and my good old pebble did this really well..

Hi @Catiem1! Great suggestion, thanks for sharing.  I've moved it into a similar suggestion. Hopefully we will have support from other users since more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains.

Love it, if you added a Mic to versa so we can actually communicate in phone calls through versa. Or leave a message via talk to text for Facebook messenger app and so on..just a suggestion, thank you

Hi @Luck_E_Stars, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. A very similar feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here.

I have a Fitbit Charge 2 that I love but I cannot stand the flimsy screen protectors that peel off after a couple weeks.  After a week of researching screen protection on smart watches - it looks like this is a mandatory thing to do with all smart watches if you don't want scratches.

 

I am considering upgrading however it looks like I will have to wait because you don't have the talk to text feature yet available or GPS (optional on/off to save battery life) on the Versa 2.  I am not interested in pre-set quick reply text messages.  I prefer talk to text.
