Looks and feels awesome, data is terribly inaccurate.
I thought I was upgrading from a Charge 2, however, after a couple days I think I am going back to it.. The Versa looks amazing, and the back is smooth, unlike the Charge, so it wears well. I have not had the setup issues that some of the other reviewers are saying, and my battery life seems to be OK (using about ~27% a day). My biggest complaint, which is of course why I have a Fitbit, is to keep a reasonable accurate count of my steps, to include floors. I enjoy the Sleep information, which by the way, is not working, but at least Fitbit is aware of the issue (if you go to their community page, a message is up top stating they are working on a fix, but have a temporary solution. On the first day I noticed that I have walked up 39 floors, which I thought was odd, because on average I am at about 6-8 floors a day. I searched the community forums, and the Fitbit moderator was saying how, if it is windy or the weather is bad it will affect the accuracy. I find this an extremely stupid response, when this NEVER happened with my Charge 2. Anyway, so I decided to run a test. I work from home usually, and I am on the call several hours a day. I took my Versa off during one my longer calls, and set it on my desk. After the approximately 2 hour call, I looked the Versa told me that I went up 12 floors and took 463 steps...come on! This is ridiculous. Yesterday, I decided to wear both my Versa and Charge 2, the differences were vast to say the least (to include steps, miles, calories, and floors). I am not sure if any real testing was done before this product was released, but unfortunately, this product is garbage as is right now. I plan on keeping it for about another week, just to see if they come out with some updates to fix all of the issues, if not, sending it back, and using my Charge 2. *********************************** Update 23 April *********************************** After wearing every day, all day, for about a week, nothing is better. I have reset it numerous times, and in fact, starting 2 days ago, it does not even count ANY floors. The sleep function does not work consistently, some nights it works, the others it tells me that I only slept 3 hours. However, as I said in the original review, the watch looks awesome, and fits great. Problem is, I can't keep a device that is supposed to keep track of my activity, just because it looks good. Very sad, but sending it back. I have attached a picture, so you can see the floors. You can tell the exact day I switched from my Charge 2. I went from averaging about 50 floors a week, to 172 floors in 4 days, and now it does not count any floors.
