When it was first introduced, the Fitbit Versa was positioned by the San Francisco-based health technology company as a smartwatch, with a lighter design compared to previous devices, more customization options, and a battery life of the battery of more than four days. Since then, we've seen the company also show off the Fitbit Versa Lite, a stripped down and cheaper version of the device you're reading about here, as well as the Fitbit Versa 2 and Fitbit Versa 3, both of which are based on the origin of the device. . and they're some of the best Fitbits you can buy today. These new models have expanded what the company's fitness trackers can do, but it's more expensive than the original watch and many will find the Versa a suitable option for their wrist. Read on to find out everything that stands out about the Fitbit Versa and what we think of the smartwatch.

Fitbit Versa price and release date
- Fitbit Versa price launched at € 199.99 / € 199.95 / AU € 299.95
- You can find it for less now than when it was released
The Fitbit Versa is a cheaper alternative to the company's flagship Ionic smartwatch, which was the most expensive wearable to date when it launched in late 2017. Priced at $199.99 / £199.95 / AU$299.95 at the launch, it was touted as a replacement for the Fitbit Blaze running watch, and we've seen the price of the Fitbit Versa drop over the years. It hit €130 in the UK and €150 in the US. The price isn't always that low, but the point is, you can shop around for a better deal than the standard retail price. Then there's also the Fitbit Versa Lite. It's a remarkably similar product, but it loses a few features like the swim tracker and music to bring the price down to $159.95 / £149.99 / AU$249.95. We've seen that price drop over time, but if you can find the original Versa for less than the Lite, this watch is worth buying. The Fitbit Versa is available in silver, black, or rose gold, as well as various color combinations of watch bands.
The Fitbit Versa undercuts the Ionic but still isn't cheap
Fitbit Versa design and display
- New, more accessible ``squircle'' design
- Brilliantly bright and clear display
- Light and comfortable
For Versa, Fitbit hasn't just updated the design of one of its previous or existing wearables; it gave it a whole new look and feel perhaps more similar to Pebble and Apple Watch than any of the company's previous devices. It has what Fitbit calls a ``Squircle'' watch face design, meaning a square face with rounded edges, in case you need that precision.
Despite its silly design name, the Versa is a much nicer and easier to wear watch than most of the company's previous devices, especially the Ionic, of which we have to admit we weren't the biggest fans. By comparison, the Versa is pretty nondescript and therefore harmless, allowing your eyes to focus more on what's happening on the screen than around you. While we loved it, it's worth noting that the "Squircle" might not be for everyone.
The Versa's anodized aluminum case and slightly tapered angled design make it the company's lightest smartwatch to date. The Versa not only looks good, but it's probably one of the most comfortable smartwatches Fitbit has ever made thanks to its lighter weight. Fitbit claims the Versa is one of its lightest smartwatches to date due to its ultra-thin anodized aluminum case and slightly tapered, sloping design that's made to fit small or large wrists. However, ce matériau léger le rend parfois un peu bon marché, ce qu'il faut garder à l'esprit si vous voulez que la Versa soit plus une montre de style de vie et que vous aimez la construction lourde et haut de gamme des montres luxury.
The Versa has a wake/rewind button on the left side and two small pause/end workout buttons on the right. On the left side, the Versa has one master wake/rewind button, while on the right, there are two small buttons for pause and end of training. These are fairly easy to tighten and have proven to work very well when using the Versa for specific exercise and everyday use. The traditional watch-style clasp is very easy to put on and take off, while maintaining a good grip during intense workouts; something we prefer to those trendy push-button bracelets that some smartwatches and activity trackers have these days. As with the Ionic, these straps are also interchangeable with many different colored metal, fabric, or silicone versions should you want to change the look of the watch entirely.
The Versa strap is comfortable and interchangeable with many different colored metal, fabric, or silicone versions. As for Versa's display, it's a vibrant, colorful touchscreen with up to 1000 nits of brightness. This means that even in direct sunlight or underwater, it's easily visible, even if it's not set to full brightness. Touch controls also seem to be much improved over the Ionic, which seemed to suffer from a bit of latency. Orders now seem seamless and seamless. Image credit: TechRadar Price - Fitbit Versa: ▼
