Fitbit Versa 2 Special Edition Health and Fitness Smart Watch

this on my wrist is the brand-new Fitbit Versa - and in this video what I want to do is give you my honest review I've had some time to use this so I'm gonna be sharing with you three things that I love and three things that I hate about the brand-new Fitbit Versa -

what's up guys and girls welcome back to another video here on M Quorn reviews with me M Quan this is a channel where I talk about my passions including technology and lifestyle if you're new around here I'd love for you to join me so do hit that subscribe button down below I consider myself an optimist so it's probably a wise idea to start off by talking about the positives generally what I found with my time with the Fitbit Versa - is that I've had an overall good positive experience but here are the three main things that really stand out about the Fitbit Bursa - number one is the design now there are two elements that have been upgraded which really stand out the display it's no longer an LCD display this is an AMOLED display and what that essentially means is that you're getting a much better quality of display the first thing about an AMOLED display is that the colors are incredibly incredibly vibrant another thing that is nice to see the Fitbit have changed from let's say the previous generation versa is that they've removed that Fitbit branding and logo that was on the front of the display so it gives you a much more cleaner and much more overall uniform display and again it's easier on the eyes

another thing to note particularly in this part of the world where we get a lot of Sun is that AMOLED display is gonna be better for really bright conditions where you're out and about I would have liked to see a slightly more brighter display would be an advantage but compared with let's say the Versa the ionic or even the inspire the fitbit Versa to display is much much better another point is the bomb pop in processor now most people are probably going to notice this when they're swiping through the different options or they're trying to sort of start a workout directly from the Versa -

um I was incredibly critical about how clunky and slow Fitbit OS felt even on like the Fitbit inspire but I'm happy to say that having used this for a while now the Fitbit versa - there's a really good job with the OS and I think a big part of that is the bump up in the processor speed the second thing is related to battery life now this is a major big deal if you think about it a lot of the tech that we have on us that we use daily it constantly needs a charge or a recharge but the bursar - went really really well I've managed to get like a five days worth of battery with notifications turned on with a ton of use out of the SmartWatch and also with the always-on display and I think that is absolutely incredible thinking about that when compared with something like the Apple watch

I've been trying out the Apple watch series five recently I mean that needs a charge at least once a day so for something like this to go completely for five days straight is a great great advantage now there is one disadvantage which I'll talk about related to the battery in the second part of this video but for now if you're looking for you know really good battery life the Versa - will deliver on that the third thing and this is a big point is the price this versa - is gonna set you back right about 200 or just over $200 depending on where you're buying it from regionally and whether you're buying it online or in-store which is an absolutely incredible price to pay for a basic SmartWatch stroke Fitness health tracker compare that with something like the Apple watch and yes the Apple watch is much more in terms of functionality it's tied in with hardware but the difference in price is considerable also and I've said this in the past with other Fitbit videos and Fitbit product related videos that I've done

the Fitbit app offers a ton of really health specific information and stats things like sleep tracking something that's still lacking in a premium product like the Apple watch is available on the Versa - now a couple of things you're gonna get Spotify Premium you're gonna be able to load up apps for like Starbucks for uber and also it's tied in now with Alexa voice I'm not a big Alexa Voice user but I know there are many of you out there that will benefit from that so having that on here is a big advantage alright so we've spoken about the positives let's walk down negative Lane the first thing that I dislike about the Fitbit Versa and this might mean nothing to the vast majority of you given the five days worth of battery life but for me and for travelers like me this another charging and clunky charging option to come with the Versa to this is something that I've complained about in the past when it comes to Fitbit products it's something that I wish Fitbit would get their act together and just do some kind of standard and streamline charging cable or charging option across the range of their different smartwatches smart health trackers so if you have a Fitbit inspire you have a charge three you have a Versa you're gonna need different charges the second thing and this is something again that will affect everybody

but those of you that are runners unfortunately the Versa too doesn't have an inbuilt GPS so that will mean that when you're out and about going for your run you are gonna have to carry around with you your smartphone now for some that's not a big deal because they might carry their smartphone with them now again I can understand why Fitbit I've done that I guess the trade off would have been poor a battery life and if you look at the Fitbit products that have inbuilt GPS they don't get as good a battery life as the Versa tuners

so I guess it's a trade-off to be made there but if GPS is important to you inbuilt GPS that is going to be worth considering the final thing point number three and I think this is going to affect everybody it's quite a big deal still with the Fitbit OS that is the fact that the Fitbit Versa - is still heavily tied in with your smartphone for basic things things like changing the time on your Versa

to change the watch face setting up a new alarm all those functionalities and functions still require you to go into your smartphone go into the app and do that manually from there now I think that's a big deal because if you think about what the functionality of a SmartWatch should be it should offer it should allow you to change and tweak basic things like that directly from the SmartWatch or the small health tracker as opposed to having to go each and every time to your smartphone so that is it those are the three things that I love and three things that I hate about the brand-new Fitbit Versa to look in a nutshell is this a good SmartWatch smart tracker certainly I think so I think that if you're looking for something that has this form factor and if you're considering this over the previous generation Fitbit versa I would recommend this over and above that there is just better hardware it's smoother that always on display that better AMOLED display on major factors that I think day to day most people will appreciate on the restitute over the previous generation versa that's it for me for now in this video I hope you've enjoyed it if you have be sure to smash that like button down below if you're new around here do consider hitting subscribe and until next time I will see you in another video here on encounter views until then peace and blessings
