Fitbit shows that less is more with the Versa 2. The fitness brand took what made the original a good cheap smartwatch, made it better, and added a voice assistant that isn’t perfect. The result is a nearly perfect fitness tracker with some smartwatch features. It’s one of Fitbit’s best exercise watches, but it doesn’t have a GPS chip, so you’ll need to bring your phone with you everywhere.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” seems to be Fibit’s motto when it comes to design. The’squircle’ shape of the Apple Watch and the first Versa seems to be liked by users, so Fitbit kept it for the Versa 2. At first glance, the new fitness watch looks a lot like its predecessor. However, a closer look shows a few small changes that make the Versa 2 look very stylish.

Where to get Fitbit Versa 2 smartwatch?
With a thickness of 0.47 inches (12 mm), it’s just a little bit bigger than the Apple Watch 3, but it looks thinner because the chassis tapers in toward the heart monitor underneath. And with a 40mm screen, it should fit most people’s wrists.
Fitbit pulled its logo from the bottom bezel of the Versa, which means that the bezels on the Versa 2 are a little bit thinner and give you a little bit more screen space than before. Even though the black background of the screen usually makes the bezels hard to see, they are still easy to miss from some views.
The first Versa had two buttons on the left and one on the right, but the Versa 2 only has one button on the left. This button is both the “select” and “back” button. This means you’re never more than one or two presses away from the feature you want, and you can use the touchscreen for anything else you need to do.
