The Fitbit Versa 3 launched earlier this year alongside Fitbit's flagship tracker, the Sense. That device is packed with features, including heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, what have you — but it can also do ECG scans, and even purportedly measure your stress levels.

Battery life Three days with the always-on display active, six without; Health tracking Robust. Step and heart rate counts seem very accurate; Design Understated and handsome.

Glitchy software A bug frequently prevents the switching of clock faces. Some info fails to sync for hours at a time; SpO2 tracking No longer tied to a specific clock face, but the stats shown in the Fitbit app are hard to find and not very informative.

Good battery life and tracking; Adds Google Assistant and built-in GPS!

Occasional wonky heart rate reading during exercise

With the addition of a built-in GPS, fitness fanatics will enjoy the Versa 3 as a major upgrade to the previous Versa and Versa 2.

Fitbit started the whole wearable craze with its original fitness tracker more than a decade ago. With the Fitbit Versa 3, it’s now been in the smartwatch market long enough to warrant serious consideration.

Lacking some features; like fall detection

The smart features packed into this fitness-focused wearable make this watch a worthy choice for the price

Whilst the Fitbit will track a large number of key parameters for you, it is (understandably) reliant on the user to input metrics such as fluid intake and food. This is something Lady A is notoriously bad at, but with the Fitbit on hand now, it is something she is getting better at.

With integrated GPS and some design tweaks, the Fitbit Versa 3 is an excellent wearable. Like its predecessor, though, it’s more a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, with very limited productivity apps on offer.

Beautiful display; Built-in GPS; Lightweight and comfortable

Poorly designed side button; Requires Fitbit Premium subscription to unlock advanced features; No offline Spotify support

In addition to ample health and fitness features, the Fitbit Versa 3 smartwatch improves on its predecessor with a larger screen, integrated GPS for pace and distance tracking, a blood oxygen sensor, and fast charging.

Attractive design with large; always-on color display; Integrated GPS; Battery charges quickly and lasts for days; Measures blood oxygen level while sleeping; Supports Amazon Alexa; Fitbit Pay; and Spotify

Laggy touch screen; No stress tracking; skin temperature; or ECG sensors; Doesn't provide high and low heart rate notifications

The Versa 3 marks a nice evolutionary step forward for what is now Fitbit's main smartwatch. The design has been refined largely for the better and its abilities as a fitness tracker still shine through.
