Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I previously had the Fitbit Versa Lite edition, which included features like Fitbit Pay among others. I have to say, I am overall very impressed with the Versa 2, as its features have vastly improved and the device itself runs much more smoothly all-around. Key highlights include: Much faster load time for apps and settings, as well as improved notification display time (from time received to time displayed). The display is MUCH clearer, brighter, and more vivid in color. The screen, although bigger than the last edition of the Versa, still seems a tad small proportionate to the device surface, however the actual glass itself seems much smoother and glossier. The silicone band (in bordeaux) seems much more comfortable and flexible, which will allow for more comfortable wear. The clock face that comes loaded onto the device is quite flattering; I likely won't be switching it out for another (and sifting through countless cheesy floral and wolf faces- sorrynotsorry). I absolutely LOVE having Amazon Alexa built-in, as I use this feature on all my other devices including several Amazon devices I have in my home. This brings me to my next point.... We have a microphone, but where's the speaker? I was really hoping that Fitbit would catch up to other competing brands and install a waterproof speaker, not even for music playback, but for the Alexa integrated voice and possibly phone calls and notifications (yes, it's a fitness tracker, but even hardcore gym goers have kids with inquiries). This updated Versa is just about everything I hoped it would be. My favorite new feature is the accentuated screen size, and the new screen settings really make a huge difference in how I use it. Extended battery life is also a huge plus, although I would go 6 or 7 days without charging my Versa Lite, so I imagine this will last over a week now on minimal settings. Definitely worth the upgrade if you're considering!
