FitbitFitbit Versa 4 Fitness Smartwatch with Daily Readiness, GPS, 24/7 Heart Rate, 40+ Exercise Modes, Sleep Tracking and more, Pink Sand/Copper Rose, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

I've used. different versions of Fitbit for years and this is by far my favorite. It's attractive on my wrist, gives me lots of iniformation and, so far, no frustration., It was pleasantly surprising that Fitbit anticipated a problem down the road with the wrist closure as they do wear out. They included a replacement and I like that. The battery life is so great that I forget to check it, but it does charge quickly. I appreciate the Fitbit for keeping my mind on the goal of being as well as I can be. It's well worth the investment! Judging by past experience with Fitbit, it will not need to be replaced for some years. I'd buy it again!!

When I first got this, it would not maintain sync. I updated the firmware on the watch, tried doing a factory reset twice, uninstalled/reinstalled the fitbit app twice, ensured that the app wasn't allowed to go to sleep when in the background... nothing worked. It would work for a few minutes, then when I tried to command Alexa, it would say connection lost. I decided to contact support, and they informed me that my app was outdated. Come to find out, version 4.04 of the bitbit app is too old, and will not work. The latest version, 4.06.7 had not been released for my phone yet, as is typical ridiculous play store behavior. Google... are you listening? When a developer releases an update, you shall IMMEDIATELY make it available to EVERY device! I manually downloaded the apk and installed it, and everything has been working great since. Alexa follows my direct orders immediately, phone calls come through, texts come through, and I can sync with ease.Overall, I suppose this is an improvement over the Versa 2. Screen is a little bigger, but the notification vibrations don't seem to be as forceful, even when set to strong.This uses google wallet instead of google pay as the Versa 2 did, so my AmEx will not work for contactless payment.Phone call feature is nice, seems to work OK. I can hear them, they can hear me. You can only answer calls, you can't make them. The $50 brand x watch I ordered to replace this one before I got the sync figured out was able to do that. It could also control my camera and music player, neither of which is possible on the Versa 4.Google maps is nice if you walk in unfamiliar areas. I'll probably never need it, but it's nice.Battery life seems to be improved over the Versa 2, but mine was 2 years old so I'm sure the battery had gradually decreased it's charge capacity. I used it for several days, and he battery was still at 55%.Skin temperature sensor will one day be nice when it can sync with a smart thermostat and automatically adjust the temperature as needed. But for now, it's just a novelty and has no purpose. Yes, I know my skin is hot. I woke up in a puddle of sweat. Yup, I'm freezing, so my skin is cold.o2 saturation is nice if you have any relevant health problems.If you want to take full advantage of the watch, get the free "Overview" clock face by Chris Blyth. It gives you current and average heart rate, battery percentage, fully customizable date format, allows for a larger clock that shows seconds, and you can have weather, and 6 other health stats displayed on the main screen, all at once. I have steps, distance, calories burned, active zone minutes, floors, and BMI/BMR. It all fits, and is easy to read. Vast improvement over the default face, which shows no useful information. I had th is face on my versa 2, and loved it. So glad it's available for the 4.Bottom line, it's a good watch. There are cheaper brand x ones out there, but none of them have NFC payment, and not all of them have Alexa. And, you get what you pay for. fit & finish feels cheap, the screens get washed out in the sun, finicky alexa integration and so on. Best to pony up and get a refined product. Be sure to update your fitbit app. Their customer support said the latest version should be released within a week, but I circumvented the beurocracy and downloaded it manually. Why wait?

This fitbit fits nicely around my wrist. It has a lot of different options as far as clock goes and its very easy to connect to my phone. I've had this watch for quite sometime and i LOVE it!!! it is worth the price. I swim with this watch and it works just like I got it the first day, so it is waterproof! Screen is very easy to control. I would recommend getting this watch!

The media could not be loaded. *I'm a Fitbit Versa 2 owner, going to Fitbit Versa 4 I have been using this new watch since late Decemeber*BATTERY:Seemed fine to me. I'm not a person that doesn't ever charge my watch though. I always charge it when I shower. The charger is WAY better than Versa 2's charging cradle. No more fiddling around with it, dreading the "not enough power" error. This sits right on top of the charger.APPS:-- There is no music support-- they have the "find my phone" app. Works like it should.-- THERE IS NO CALCULATOR APP! WHY!?!-- no 3rd party supported apps. Whatever you have already installed is what you get. You can't get ANY other apps other than preinstalled. No notes app, no calculator, no memos, NOTHING. Hugely disappointing!!! Why would they do this?GOOGLE:--Google wallet is great and very easy to set up. You don't have to have the google wallet app on your phone to set it up; it's all through fitbit.NAVIGATION:Navigation works....but I don't think I would use it when you're driving. It's just not as easy to glance at or give as much detail as your phone will. You can have both your watch and phone navigating at the same time. I thought it might vibrate when to indicate an upcoming turn or something but it doesn't.DISPLAY:Crisp, clear display. Touch screen is very reactive, as is the button on the side. The watch is supposed to come on when you lift your arm, but this is very fidley and I find it only works half the time.CALLS:Calls are fantastic. You can hear clearly and be heard just as well. You can't make calls, only accept them.CLOCKS:-- I was disappointed to find that my Fitbit Versa 2 clocks would not be compatible with Versa 4. Honestly, I'm not sure why Fitibit doesn't have a fully customizable clock face, with custom settings and custom pictures. No, they leave that for other developers to figure out. I loved using Maxim clock faces, as everything could be customized (stats,colors,time, placements, and photo). No such luck here. There are a lot of options, and I did find one suitable for me. Should be offered by Fitbit themselves though. They have to know that most people want a personal picture on their device. If you are just looking for a cool background, there are tons to choose from.I found a photo clock that worked for me named Photo 2 by Wim Van Aerschot. There's a free version and a Premium versionPROS:-- Slim, lightweight-- No trouble syncing-- Google wallet is 1000x better than fitbit pay, which only supports certain banks. None of my cards (sam's club visa, capital one credit/debit) worked with fitbit pay. They work perfectly with google-- While you now have "tiles" that show your apps one by one as you swipe left or right (On versa 2 you swiped down and selected from a list) isn't as user friendly, you CAN rearange the tiles how you please. And you can add shortcuts via long press of the button, if you want. You can also choose to hide tiles you don't want.-- Calories burned seems very accurate. They reflect my suggested metabolic rateCONS:-- The style of the band is odd. The material is great, but for some reason they thought it would be wise to tuck the extra bit UNDER the band, not on top. It isn't irritating like I thought it would, but it makes it a big pain to take off and put back on. The extra bit also means you might have to readjust size because the extra bit is tighter on your wrist. It leaves marks on your arm. Even most off brand bands still feature the "under loop" fastener, but you can buy silicone "band keepers" that slip right over the band, allowing you to fasten as normal.-- Lost Calories. For some reason, I have LOST calories, particularly after syncing or charging. I've lost 200-300 cal this way. Very irritating and it can make a huge difference if you are in a calorie deficit. I haven't had it happened since, but worth noting.--It doesn't show calories eaten on any of the tiles. Furthermore, the "calories left" on the "today's tile" does NOT reflect calories eaten. Previously in the Versa 2, the Fitbit app would show how many calories you have left in that moment of time, whereas the watch would show how much you had left based on predicted calorie burn for the day. This watch only shows calories left to burn, based on your chosen "calories burned" goal.-- Stats don't stack as they used to on Versa 2. You can rearrange them for sure, and that helps, but you otherwise have to keep swiping to see each stat separately. It seemed cleaner when they stacked on top of each other and you have to scroll down. Scrolling down from the clock face only shows settings, no quick select for google wallet (although you can set up shortcuts for long press on the button)You can get around this somewhat; for instance, I put the "today's tile" on top of the list and the weather tile on the bottom. A swipe to the right brings up today's tile quickly. A swipe to the left brings up the weather. Otherwise, you have to keep swiping to get different stats.-- while there is never trouble syncing, if you step away from your phone for too far or too long, you will have to resync. This was a problem with Versa before. I work in a fairly small, single story building and very few times can I actually respond to text messages without getting the error to resync. Fitbit desperately needs to increase the range of the bluetooth.-- you can't "write" messages, like you can with Apple watches. You can respond either with voice (which does work well to be fair) or choose from a few quick responces from a list.FINAL THOUGHTS: I do love this watch, but keep in mind there are few improvements with many missing features. For a casual wearer, I think the update is well worth it. Downsides in customization, stats, and absent apps should be considered, however, and given that this watch has been out for a long while, it is unlikely to change. I'd say if your happy with your old Fitbit model, just keep it and skip on this.

My wife has been an avid Fitbit user since the beginning. I was a little wary of this upgrade since it seemed not much changed. After getting it I was glad I did. Screen is clearer. Size is a bit smaller which makes it easier to use during workout. Do yourself a favor if you haven't and uprgrade
