Although the bezels are thicker than I would like, they are successfully faded by the AMOLED, which is another advantage of the upgrade. I had no issue using this thing indoors and outdoors in various settings, from Sydney to a recent trip in New Mexico. The display itself is easy on the eyes, even when the sun is glaringly bright. If not, you’ve got the raise-to-wake feature to make your experience as seamless as possible. There’s even always-on display (toggled via settings) now, meaning you won’t have to even touch to watch to get a visual display of time and activity progress.Īlthough you’ll still need to press a button (or tap the screen) to truly wake the device up, if you’ve opted for the always-on setting. Basically, it looks more like a modern Apple Watch which isn’t at all a bad thing. The key bump here is a fantastic, vibrant and clear 1.4-inch 300×300 AMOLED screen, looking great against the smooth bevelled edges which are more pronounced than before. The wellness-forward approach syncs up perfectly with current trends and widespread health consciousness, but augmenting those functions with a bit more smarts doesn’t go astray. Although you’d be mistaken if you thought Versa 2 wasn’t still primarily a Fitbit wearable. Now the acclaimed watch has a sequel, and it looks to push Fitbit further down the smartwatch path than ever before. They made the mistake of trying to go their own way and provide a stark and unnecessary contrast to the Apple Watch, but they soon learned from that and leaped into the Versa. Ever since 2017’s Ionic product line started the brand who had been, up until that point, only known for fitness tracking wearables started to move towards something bigger and better. Fitbit are now as ambitious in the world of smart watches as they are dominators of the fitness industry.
