Fitbit Versa Lite Smartwatch,GPS,Charcoal/Silver Aluminum, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

Fitbit Vera light
So far I’ve been happy with it. I really like the more detailed sleep info. It doesn’t track stairs which I wish it didOnly thin I don’t like is the very short battery life and there’s no warning before it just quits. I can check battery life on the app but mine usually dies before I thin I need to do that.

Huge buyer’s remorse. Read very carefully before you buy.
I thought I did my research well enough on this device, but I was mistaken. I really wanted to love this smartwatch/fitness tracker. I don’t have a lot of needs, but I need them all met, and based on the spec sheet and advertised featureset this should cover everything.What I liked about this device:- Long battery life- Lightweight- Gets all my app notifications- Fitness trackingWhat the marketing material doesn’t say:- Setup is a nightmare. The device ships with a firmware version that needs to be plugged into a PC in order to be able to update itself to a firmware version that can update OTA; except Windows 10 doesn’t recognize the device when plugged in and Fitbit doesn’t have drivers available on their website. Then once you get the device updated, there’s still a slew of connectivity issues getting the device to pair properly with your phone.- The app notifications are inconsistent at best. There aren’t many apps I actually want notifications from, but the few I do want I need them consistently. Sometimes they come through and everything is great, and other times they don’t come at all and the troubleshooting steps to fix them is to reinstall the Fitbit software, reconfigure the device (and all of its settings), and restart both my phone and the watch.Here’s the kicker: these are problems occurring in the first 24 hours! I haven’t even had the device for a full day yet and I’m having all these problems. My last smartwatch, an LG G Watch R, was made in 2014 and didn’t have any of these problems. It’s 2020 Fitbit, this level of inadequacy is unacceptable.This device is a sleek and stylish fitness tracker, and does those tasks well enough, but if that was all I wanted there are better devices (even better Fitbit devices) that do that job. I bought the Versa Lite because I needed app notifications, and having to reconfigure the device daily isn’t going to work out for me.I’m giving this a few more days to see if things stabilize before I return it.—EDIT: I’ve owned this for a week. The setup process is a nightmare because it ships with a buggy version of the firmware, and there’s no way to force or sideload the update. You just have to wait DAYS until the device finally decides to update. After the update, many of the problems went away.Coincidentally, I got myself a new phone about a day after I got the update and once I paired the FitBit to my new phone things that never worked on my old phone suddenly worked on the new one.Pre-update + old phone: 2/5 starsPost-update + old phone: 3/5 starsPost-update + new phone: 4/5 starsI’ll be updating my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars because once it’s fully updated it’s everything I wanted from it, but the horrible out-of-the-box experience cannot be overlooked. Word of advice: if you do decide to buy this, aim to get it a week before you actually want to start using it!

Finally free of frustration & nuisance
I stopped using my Fitbit just last week & I’ve never been more happy.For a company to continue to churn out more expensive & feature-laden “activity” watches throughout the years, it’s almost unfathomable why it would degrade its user experience year after year.It has been a love/hate relationship ever since I bought the original Versa (after upgrading from a Charge given to me by a friend, & up until then I thought Fitbits were useless, trendy gadgets) because when the watch & app/software work, it’s a very useful tool with a lot of data & information to help keep a person motivated & track their progress… but the inconsistency of the heart rate monitor, problems with syncing, app updates that are forced upon users otherwise their watch stops working with the app, non-existent customer service and/or totally inefficient customer care made life with a Fitbit one of frustration.Due to these factors & probably more, I vowed to myself to never spend another dime on a terrible company like Fitbit…but my Versa died in early 2020 (with an almost offensive lack of customer support to try & help) & I read some good things about the Samsung Galaxy activity watch so I switched & started using that, but with a terrible app & an even worse heart rate monitor & active time logger I broke my vow & purchased this Vera Lite.Even worse than the Versa, the heart rate monitor & problems with syncing on the Versa Lite I soldiered on because the app data & statistics are very helpful even if there are some discrepancies.But the final straw & what made me finally jump ship was the firmware upgrade pushed out late September/early October, as I had seen multiple complaints on the new “zone minutes” by beta testers posted on Fitbit’s forum… yet Fitbit still forced this upgrade out to its user base, and as soon is it went out to, I’m assuming, thousands of users, the forum was flooded with average users confused & angry & wanting the old “activity minutes” back instead of this new “zone minutes” garbage.Not to mention all the complaints about their Fitbits not syncing anymore, getting bricked & staying on the Fitbit startup logo, not turning on at all, Fitbit “updating” their list of compatible phones so that users having problems now after the upgrade were officially SOL despite their watch & phone being compatible before… this all made me very scared so I dismissed the upgrade as long as I could (maybe 10-12 days), closing out the banner at the top of the app EVERY single time I opened it or refreshed the screen, but of course, after so many days my watch stopped syncing with my Samsung Ultra+ (& also my old Samsung S8, which I always used as a backup to sync with when the Fitbit was being temperamental with my Ultra+) & I had no choice but to upgrade the firmware.And exactly what you’d expect to happen did in fact happen: my watch wouldn’t sync with either of my phones at all anymore…& I wound following the god-awful advice that is copy & pasted on Fitbit’s forums for almost every single issue a user has, which is a long list of absolutely inconvenient & obtuse set of instructions that seem more long-winded & complex than dismantling an atomic bomb.I did the first couple of steps, anyway… & then my phone never was able to re-sync with the Fitbit & I gave up…I downloaded a step-tracker because I have my phone in my pocket 95% of the time anyway, it seems quite accurate, & MyFitnessPal gives the option to add exercises with caloric expenditure calculated for you already & now I’m finally free.

Ho acquistato il Fitbit come regalo per la mia migliore amica nel mese di settembre, fino ad ora ha sempre mantenuto tutte le funzionalità. Amico perfetto per chi volesse rilevare i dati essenziali giornalieri sull’esercizio fisico. Comodo e leggero.

Gute Fitnessuhr hauptsächlich nutze ich sie zum Schritte zählen und Schlafindex.
