I am slowly but surely warming up to my new Fitbit Versa 2.
It comes with very little directions - so setting it up, unless you look up the full manual online, can be quite challenging. At first I thought I can manage it, but no matter what I did, I was not getting the notifications from my phone, so I looked up the online manual. Turned out I did everything right, yet I still was not getting the notifications. I tried the help forums and variety of steps included in those forums and it still did not work. Eventually I came across an article suggesting an external app and voila, I am all set. Thankfully the external app was free.
Tried to change the clock interface, which led me to a paid site - so I abandoned the transaction. That paid site then kept on sending me notifications every 15 minutes for the following 3 hrs to complete my purchase. Extremely annoying - and there wasn't any way to say "no longer interested" anywhere on the site or my Versa 2. There are some free options for the interface so I ended up picking one of these.
The screen itself is sharp and has bright colors, and it responds well to touch.
The battery lasts a few days which is quite awesome - let's see if that will last beyond a year! :)
I have not tried Alexa yet, have a hard time giving up my Amazon password to Fitibit.
All in all, this is a good smart watch without the pricetag of Apple or Samsung watch.
