Fitbit Versa Special Edition Smart Watch, Charcoal Woven, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

Glad I purchased this over an Apple watch
I was really debating between this and Apple watch but so glad that I bought this Versa.I bought this only for fitness reasons and didnt want to be bothered with constant notifications/messages/calls, etc.So far this Versa does exactly what I need it to do and gives me all the data which helps me stay healthy and motivated.You really need to keep this on you 24/7 in order for you a accurate data over time.I did not know if sleep data would help me but it has become one of my favorite features of the watch.Also love the fact that this watch is so light, battery life is long and dosen’t get in the way while in the gym.The only negative thing I can think of is that sometimes the screen dosen’t always come on when you raise your wrist to see the time. But you can always double tap the screen to get it on.If you live an active lifestyle and want to refine your training or you are a newbie and want to get active, I would highly recommend this Fitbit Versa watch. However, if you just want to have a phone on your wrist for notifications, love all things apple, play with apps, etc. then get a Apple watch. (by the way I am an iphone user)

Dead after first time swimming, total waste of $$
Gave it two stars because it technically works (almost as well as my old charge 2), until it stopped working the first time I swam in it. Now updating to 1 star. I had it just over 6 months and it’s dead. Since it’s over 45 days and not purchased from Fitbit website, I can’t get money back. Buy something else, Fitbit is awful now.This is my 4th fitbit model over the last 5+ years, and I’ve been increasingly disappointed with each “upgrade.” The only reason I kept with fitbit when looking for a smart watch was it seems that they may have the best heart rate monitor on a watch, although it’s hard to tell and I don’t really know. It does seem to track my heartrate accurately as far as I can tell and no problems with counting steps or anything like that. The notifications are annoying because it will only show the oldest notification, that hasn’t been cleared, from each sender. so if someone were to send me more than one message in a short time (or I forgot to tell the versa to clear an older one), I can only look at the first one.My biggest complaint is that syncing is a near-constant headache. I usually miss messages (and then once a week I’ll get a data dump of all the messages I’ve already seen on my phone). Almost every time when I try to sync manually (which I shouldn’t have to do since I have ALL the options for improving a constant sync turned on), I get the message in the picture “Your sync has been scheduled and will start soon.” And almost every time I get that message, it does not end up syncing. I would return the product over this since not syncing properly makes all the “smart watch” features useless. Of course it worked fine until my one-month return window closed. I wonder if their servers prioritize requests from the recently-purchased items, and then shuts down bandwidth once return windows close…Also their customer service stinks now. When I got my first fitbit, their customer service was the best (probably because their products were so cheaply made), but over the last few years they have become very cheap in their willingness to make things right when their products don’t hold up to expectations. Now when you have an issue the responses tend to be some canned quote from the product manual, as if there couldn’t possibly be a legit issue and it’s just that people buying smart watches are stupid.Fitbit 2013: “The customer is always right” Fitbit 2018: “The customer is always an idiot.”

Bought the special edition as it had an alternate style of strap to the standard rubber one; great watch and hopefully using the apps to record my exercise / sleep and water intake will help me on my journey to keeping fit and healthy.

Muy buen producto me agradó mucho
