Fitbit Versa 2 Reviews: A Mid-Range Option

The Fitbit Versa 2 is a unique product that straddles the line between fitness trackers and smartwatches. Using it is an incredibly easy and sleek experience, making it appealing to those who want a device that can track their daily activities without breaking the bank.

However, whether or not the Versa 2 is worth buying depends on your perspective. If you're looking for a cheaper fitness tracker option, Fitbit's own Inspire HR might be a better choice. On the other hand, if you're in the market for a higher-end smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 5 is likely a more suitable option.

One notable aspect of the Versa 2 is its impressive battery life. Connected constantly to my Galaxy Note9 with the display in AOD mode and after a 5km run and a 500m swim, I still had 10% battery life left by the end of four days. This is particularly remarkable considering that my Apple Watch Series 4 requires daily charging.

For those who enjoy swimming, the Versa 2 also offers reliable tracking capabilities. However, it's worth noting that you'll need to first input the length of your pool, whether it's 25m or 50m. The device accurately recorded both the number of laps and distance swum during my swim-tracking test.

Unfortunately, the step-tracking function on the Versa 2 has taken a slight hit in terms of accuracy compared to its predecessor. While the original Versa's results were always within 3% of my calibrated Apple Watch Series 4 when I reviewed it, the Versa 2 counted around 10% more steps.

Overall, the Fitbit Versa 2 offers a compelling blend of fitness tracking and smartwatch features at an affordable price point. While it may not be perfect in every regard, its impressive battery life and reliable swim-tracking capabilities make it a solid choice for those looking for a mid-range option.
