Fitbit’s new wearables, the Sense and Versa 3, have been official for a week or so now and won’t arrive until the end of September. If you were considering a pre-order for either, be quick, as Amazon already has both discounted in what I can only imagine is a temporary move. The Fitbit Sense...

The Fitbit Versa 3 finally gives us built-in GPS, but sabotages itself with a dubious new design choice

Great look; Built-in GPS; Lovely screen; Strong battery life

The button replacement is poor; GPS tracking could be stronger; Limited additional apps

The Fitbit Versa 3 is a modest upgrade from the Fitbit Versa 2, at least today. Down the road with slated smartphone integration updates like taking calls from the wrist or Google Assistant, it’ll become a more advanced unit.

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.

Built-in GPS; Full fitness features; Sleep tracking

Buckle-less strap; Limited apps

Last year I tested the Fitbit Versa 2 and kept going back to using it because of the 24/7 activity tracking capability. With no integrated GPS, I had to run with another watch to track my running and cycling.

Bright and clear AMOLED display; Lightweight and comfortable for 24/7 wear; Extensive health tracking capability; Various health scores for understanding progress; Integrated GPS

No support for offline Spotify music; Side button takes practice to master

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.

Attractive look; bigger screen; Solid fitness tracking; Great battery life; Brimming with health data

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

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

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.

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