There’s a lot Alexa can’t do on the Versa 2, so you might see this message a lot.Īlso new to the Versa 2 is Spotify support via a new companion app. And it does plenty: You’ll be able to turn on your lights, get weather reports, find nearby restaurants, set reminders, and control your routines from your wrist, which covers nearly everything you’d want to do with an assistant on your wrist. The engine was very good at deciphering my speech, and despite doing the heavy lifting on your phone, it responded surprisingly fast.
My favorite change is the collapsable quick settings pane at the top of the notifications window that offers a variety of shortcuts.īut for all it can’t do, Alexa is still a solid companion for the Versa 2. All models now include NFC for Fitbit Pay transactions, and it runs a new version of Fitbit OS that features thoughtful flourishes throughout, including improved navigation and better app support. The Versa’s maturity isn’t just skin deep. Of note, Fitbit is selling three varieties of rose gold watches this year-with pink, purple, and green bands-which speaks to the gender-neutral look and size of the watch. I particularly liked the orange-and-charcoal woven reflective band, which is available for $40, but the simple sport bands are sharp too. The pin mechanism isn’t quite as easy as the quick-release buttons on the Charge 3 or Apple Watch, but it’s simple enough to use them before and after a workout.

Without the logo, your eyes will be firmly fixed on the display, and the centering brings a balance that wasn’t there before. Fitbit has eliminated its logo from the front of the watch, a decision that allows the screen to shift a millimeter or two lower so the bezel are uniform all around. The position of the screen is a much less obvious tweak, but it’s a refreshing one. Also, you have to try really hard to see where the display ends and the bezel begins, which gives it a classier overall feel. On the original Versa, text and images on the LCD display were a touch dull due to backlighting, but they’re bright and vibrant on the Versa 2’s OLED screen.
The OLED display on the Fitbit Versa 2 (right) is brighter and richer than the original model’s LCD.Īt 1.34 inches, the display is the same size as before, but there are two notable changes that make a huge difference: It’s OLED and it’s centered.
