Disappointed Versa 4

[Julieeee7]

Hi 

I needed to update my Versa 2 since the battery would die after 48 hours. I couldn't keep up charging it all the time. 

I compared for a moment all the Fitbit models, to make the right choice. For sure, I wanted a watch with lasting battery charges, but also I thought that I would at least offer the same options then my previous watch. 

I opted for the Versa 4, ordered online. I received the watch and after less then 4 hours, I had to return it : the watch would restart every minute. It was super easy to communicate with Google for a return and the refund. 

I then ordered a second one. What a deception to find out online that : 

- Spotify ain't available

- can't remove the meteo widget : I don't need it and it uses battery for nothing

- can't personalize the watch to remove the mindfulness, menstrual health and stress management. 

What a deception from Fitbit.

The biggest deception: impossibility of adding any third-party app. Almost everything in my Versa 3 is "not available" for Versa 4, including Spotify, Starbucks, my paid apps: watch face, Calculator, Currency exchange, Biorhythms, etc. And Maps as before showing location at any time NOT only with Exercises. I needed it because Versa 3 failed, and there was no option in the Google Store but Versa 4, presumably better. It is not.

Hi @Woytek - it is one of the disadvantages of the latest models is you aren't able to install apps, if you just got the watch you can always return it and see if you can find the same old model elsewhere online.

That's what I am trying to do. Funny thing is that on Google Fitbit Apps page I found clear message: if you want anything good STAY with Versa 3! V4 is very limited. 

But they don't have it on their site. Amazon does.

Thanks for your support 🙂 because I like Versa 3 despite its two failures and the Fitbit app.
