Fitbit Versa

The Fitbit Versa is elegant, and as its name implies, versatile in design.

Display

The screen is crisp and bright, but has rather thick bezels.

Left

When pressed, the left button bring up music controls.

Right

The top right button brings up the Exercise app, while the bottom right button accesses the Alarm by default.

Sensors

In addition to your typical three-axis accelerometer and gyroscope, the Versa has an altimeter, an ambient light sensor, an optical heart rate monitor, and an SpO2 sensor.

Straps

You can swap straps, but the ball pins are somewhat finicky.

Ecosystem

Fitbit's App Gallery currently has over 550 apps and clock faces.

Accessories

There are plenty of strap choice ranging from silicone to the metal mesh pictured here.
