On paper, the Fitbit Versa 2 is a compelling upgrade over its predecessor. It features a bigger, better display, useful Alexa integration and refined software. It still lasts days longer than Samsung and Wear OS watches and looks pretty, to boot.

Attractive and comfortable design; Alexa integration feels useful; Accurate sleep-tracking; Long-lasting battery without Always On Display

Finicky connectivity; Unintuitive OS

I wore the Fitbit Versa 2 for more than a week and I enjoyed it. The Versa 2 is no doubt an improvement over the original Versa, especially on the display and battery front. All that said, it would be hard to recommend the Versa 2 to an iPhone user, given the Apple Watch Series 3 is selling for Rs...

Alexa is the star of the show here, but it’s the small improvements in the design and software that really make the Versa 2 feel like a leap ahead. There are bugs that need fixing, particularly with Alexa, and some people will simply want something more stylish.

Rounder; curved design; Alexa’s handy (when it works); Fitbit Pay on all models

“The Fitbit Versa 2 has excellent battery life, but important fitness insights are locked behind a subscription.”

Affordable; Multi-day battery life; Native sleep tracking; On-device music storage; Intuitive interface

Offers few insights (without paying extra); Can’t stream from Spotify; Looks like an Apple Watch knock-off; Alexa is largely useless

If you want a blend of fitness tracking and smart functions all within the Fitbit ecosystem, the Versa 2 is a great option

Great display; battery life

Fairly limited smart functions; harder to swap wristbands; Fairly limited smart functions; harder to swap wristbands

In Versa 2, Fitbit has finally nailed the smartwatch formula, pairing a smooth, responsive OS with appropriately powered hardware. That said, some more apps wouldn't go astray.

You can buy the Fitbit Versa 2 in as many as 6 styles for the watch and bands, of which two belong to the Special Edition range.

The Fitbit brand is everywhere. If you wear an Apple Watch today, chances are you wore a Fitbit before it. And even if you've never worn a Fitbit you probably know what it is, having seen it on dozens or hundreds of other wrists.

Adds Alexa and Spotify; Got a week on a single charge in testing.

I'm not sure we really needed this watch so soon

A solid all-rounder with enough smartwatch and fitness capabilities for most people, with a killer battery life to boot

Great screen; Superb battery life; Solid fitness/sleep tracking; Extremely comfortable; NFC payments; Alexa smart assistant

No GPS; Changing certain settings via the app can be tedious
