    It’s nice that the Pebble kind of lives on in these, as you can see the inspiration, but it is TOO EXPENSIVE!

    Looks like a Dollar store knock off of the Apple Watch.

      You obviously haven’t owned one. Much more accurate than Apple Watch with longer battery life.

    Sounds like they beat Apple to the punch,
    with the series six having the new stress sensors and already having most of the others I’d like to see Apple incorporate a temperature sensor.

    Will it work through tattoos? My Fitbit versa 2 doesn’t read my heart rate cuz of my tattoos since there’s only 1 sensor.

      Tattoos are for depressed people

    Glad to see it has an OLED display. In 2020 there should not be anymore TFT displays in wearables.

    Google sucks. Their wear os still sucks after so many years. So i really do not trust them with fitbit now.

    I will never buy another Fitbit, my Versa just dies after a year and they can only suggest a discount to buy another one since theres no warranty still

    What’s the point of posting a review if you can’t fully review the device? Oh youtube ad revenue, got it.

    as a doctor, I can tell you that none of these watches will detect afib…

    I’ll watch later when you can show the interface.

    How crippled will it be without a subscription? I hate how they pay walled some versa stats.

  22. Mackenzie Woodward

    Can they please fix the Versa to work with new Samsung phones?

  23. C J

    Glad I watched this. I was about to buy it, had it in my cart with a new band and Fitbit premium. Too many things pending for use, and Google acquisition…nah, I’ll stick with Apple.

    Does it have Nike run app or can it be synced ?

    Is there a reason that most smart watch designs from Fitbit and Apple are very girly? That is to say, the design is aimed at women and pretty men. Would be good if they also had a style that was a little more rugged…

  28. Outback Dave

    August 26, 2020 at 4:47 am

    I think fit bands are like mobile phones 90% of the functions are just for novelty and not very practical. I will stick with my Mi Band 4 it was just $38, this I can live with.

  29. Rushi Patel

    August 26, 2020 at 4:54 am

    Now or later fitbit will realise that other then new functions , looks also important.

    I would just like notifications from my perfectly fine Pocophone F1 to work with a Fitbit smartwatch. Fitbit has fobbed off Pocophone F1 users since the Versa was first released with empty promises like “the problem being worked on”, “our engineers are focused on finding a solution”, “and by the way, your Pocophone F1 isn’t on our list of phones guaranteed to work”. It isn’t on that list, but nor was the Moto G5 Plus I had before it, and that worked fine. How are we supposed to tell before we commit to a purchase? It’s Android. It should work on all Android versions past a specified version number, and that should be part of the software’s design criteria.

    Is it dirty or scratched?

  33. Sbusiso khuzwayo

    August 26, 2020 at 9:05 am

    Everytime they do a software update they break something or completely brick the device. I have an ionic. Just visit their community website you’ll see all the horrors of fitbit. They do not care about their existing customers.

    Good.. i’m a Versa 2… but… the display is too small!!!!

  36. Megan Erney

    Does anyone else have issues from their Fitbit Versa causing stiffness and pain in their wrist? I had to stop wearing mine because of this. It’s definitely an issue because Fitbit has a post in their online community saying if this occurs, stop using immediately. And that’s it. No help beyond “stop wearing it”.

  37. Laura Summer

    August 26, 2020 at 2:00 pm

    Is it possible to turn the bluetooth off? I am looking for a fit bit watch with this function…

  38. benguin 2

    August 26, 2020 at 2:08 pm

    Can you trade in versa 2 for versa 3?

    I want it, but not buying a Fitbit until the Google thing is sorted. Sticking with Garmin for the meantime

    Fitbit: Gives a new unreleased hardware to a reviewer to make a review, but does not give him the software that the hardware needs to be working.

  42. Jeff Moore

    Thanks for going into the software and user experience for me. Really helped me understand what apps I can use since I’ve never had a Fitbit before 🤦‍♂️

    Those sensors on the Sense make…. sense.

  45. ALIEN

    The Fitbit Sense has some good tech, but I wouldn’t even compare it to the Apple Watch.

    Awesome now I’ll have to wait for sale 😂

    I really like the Google Assistant as well as Amazon Alexa

    anybody know the intro music that plays after he says He talked to fitbit and there is a lot to talk about @0:30?
