" ... I tried uninstalling / reinstalling the App and unpairing and re-pairing the watch. ... "
" ... SO much to learn from Apple Watch, it sets itself up out of the box, this was a nightmare. ... Poor design, app set up and tech support. ... once I got it working, after the multiple factory resets and working back through the sets up, it suddenly sync’d with my Samsung S10 and worked perfect ever since. ... "
" ... The setup was a nightmare and I was unable to connect to my mac to transfer music, though it appears I need an app with a subscription even if this had worked. ... I downloaded the mac desktop app and it showed every Fitbit device except the versa 2. ... "
" ... In addition the app keeps failing to sync. ... "
" ... The desktop app doesn't recognise my device even though it is listed in mobile app for the same account. ... "
" ... - Sometimes could control my Spotify on my phone or Amazon Firestick - and sometimes not. ... "
" ... My watch seemed to disconnect from my phone even if I was only three metres or so away so the Alexa function would not work. ... "
" ... Does not work on Android devices that don't have at least Android 7 (they should tell you). ... The Windows app does not currently allow you to set up this particular device. ... "

" ... 3- The app is confusing. ... "
" ... Fitbit knows the problem as it is posted in their forum community but will only tell you to reset the device and mark the topic as solved. ... "
" ... I had to delete and reinstall the app to get them working again. ... However, on Thursday afternoon I factory reset the watch, deleted the app, and sent the thing back to Amazon. ... "
" ... I tried uninstalling / reinstalling the App and unpairing and re-pairing the watch. ... "
" ... In addition the app keeps failing to sync. ... "
" ... Syncing with the Fitbit app was also too unreliable. ... "
" ... You can't change the clock from 12hr to 24hr through the app, have to go to the website, which doesn't work. ... "
" ... Just for anyone that wants to download music just ensure that you have the latest Windows 10 update otherwise will not work. ... "

" ... Cannot use for music as it won’t connect toDeezer even though I had to pay for a Deezer account and paired it. ... Could not get Alexa to work. ... "
" ... - Sometimes could control my Spotify on my phone or Amazon Firestick - and sometimes not. ... Oh, and about Spotify . ... "
" ... In addition the app keeps failing to sync. ... "
" ... Alexa only seems to work if you are in and out of the phone app. ... "
" ... My watch seemed to disconnect from my phone even if I was only three metres or so away so the Alexa function would not work. ... "
" ... This fitness tracker will only work/sync up with some models of phone/operating systems. ... It failed to collect to my phone, nor my Windows 10 PC. ... "
" ... took ages to connect to my phone in fact 6hrs no good. ... "
" ... Had it 1 day and have managed to connect it to spotify once very very frustrating . ... "

" ... however be careful buying if you have tattoos I wear watches etc on my left wrist which is tattooed with the Blaze and ionic no problems but with the versa 2 it will not track heart rate sleep or active minutes I tried everything in the end I switched it to my right wrist and now working fine . ... "
" ... There are many replacement straps available along with different faces to ring the changes. ... "
" ... Bought non official rose gold strap from Amazon, nice for evening wear. ... "
" ... Stylish fitbit that can worn for most occasions ... "
" ... I bought several different straps for my Blaze and they are all still in perfectly good condition, however FitBit decided that making a few extra quid for the third party sellers who sell replacement straps was more important than the happiness and satisfaction of their customers. ... They could've very easily designed the Versa to ensure that straps for the Blaze were compatible but NO, they had to rip off their customers instead. ... "
" ... Excellent product and comfortable on the wrist ... "

" ... In terms of technical promises they are pretty similar this one is even better because it has the sleep tracking. ... "
" ... Amazing quality, it sits around my wrist very softly I almost forget that its there which is great as I had other sleep trackers before and at night they can be quite uncomfortable but not this one 😊 ... "
" ... Upgraded from son’s old Blaze (he went Apple) Always been a fan of the sleep tracking on Fitbit, which is the same as the old Blaze, due to the fact it uses the same App on your smart phone. ... "
" ... I love it and it helps with tracking all exercise, sleep, steps and weight as I have the scales too . ... my only gripe is sometimes it ends my exercise tracking early before I have finished the activity and so I have to restart tracking which then mucks up my track records ! ... "
" ... The sleep function is very cool and seems to be accurate, I find it interesting to check each morning! ... The app is great though, you can find more in depth information about your sleep cycles, your steps, distance you've walked, your workouts and more, you can track your period and symptoms and it will predict when you are next due on, you can also track your birth conrol pills etc. ... "
" ... Sleep tracking doesn't seem that accurate, maybe it has to track you for a while to build a profile, but still a good guide. ... "
" ... Sleep setting very good. ... "
" ... The sleep tracker is accurate, I have always known I am a very light sleeper and this has confirmed that. ... "

" ... That being said, this was suppose to be more of a smart watch but I found it more of a fancier fitness tracker with a too big display for what it can do. ... "
" ... By the time I've got up and drinking my coffee in the mornings its recorded over 600 steps - I've probably not done a hundred - heart rate monitor keeps stopping and alexa won't connect most of the time. ... Did a five mile car journey and it added over a 1,000 steps. ... Did a 4 hour journey and I'd reached my goal of 10,000 steps. ... "
" ... my only gripe is sometimes it ends my exercise tracking early before I have finished the activity and so I have to restart tracking which then mucks up my track records ! ... "
" ... This is a great watch/tracker though my wife finds it doesn’t always count all her steps. ... "
" ... I have never owned a fitbit before and I am quite impressed with this little device. ... so after 6 hours it told me how many calories I have burnt but sadly it didn’t show me how many miles I had cycled. ... All in all neat little fitness tracker, would definitely recommend a fitbit. ... "
" ... Not wholly accurate with steps but all other functions are great ... "
" ... I basically have an expensive step tracker. ... "
" ... I upgraded my Fitbit HR to this version. ... "

" ... I’ve been using the previous versa for a couple of years and generally found it served my needs pretty well with reasonable battery life and good tracking of steps, exercise, sleep and heart rate. ... "
" ... Whilst I must confess that this is a nice piece of kit and the battery life is a massive improvement on my Blaze, the reason I am giving this a one star rating is because they have deliberately gone out of their way to ensure that straps that fitted the blaze would not fit the Versa. ... "
" ... The exception is battery life it’s simply excellent, without using the always on face, I’m getting about 5 days of charge, compared to Blaze which needed charging every morning whilst showering. ... "
