I just got the versa 4 (June 2024) and I am running the Glance watch face so I can have real time glucose displayed, (the main reason I got it). I am liking it a lot so far.
I have a versa 3 Not much impressed with the versa 4,the only thing l like about it is that it's a bit thinner,for everything else l would say you go and get the 3 for less money cause for one or two more upgrades makes no sense to pay a higher price.
Yes, you will still be able to buy a Versa 3 from third party vendors (while supplies last). Just to be more clear, when I use the term "discontinued" I am referring to the Versa 3 no longer being available to purchase directly from Fitbit. For example, Versa 2 is not discontinued as you can still buy it directly from Fitbit (and it will likely stick around for some time still, as their budget smartwatch offering). Thanks for your comment. Hope that helps clarify :)
@@wearablewhispererThank you! I am In the uk, and I just checked and the versa 3 Is still listed for sale! Maybe its different in other countries! Thanks for replying! Love your videos 😄
Ah, interesting! Yes, I base my information off of the United States website (because that's where I'm from), so it could definitely be different in other countries. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm so glad you love my videos, thanks for letting me know 🙏 😊
Do you mean this same style of announcement video? If so, maybe? I don't get sent products before launch like the big tech channels do, so I've always assumed people would rather watch a video where the person already has it in hand (in this case, no one has the new Fitbits in hand yet). And, I assume the big tech channels will already have the apple watch series 8 in hand on the day of announcement (which makes it hard to compete...). Let me know if you would still be interested in a "Things to Know" style of video for the Apple Watch, even if I don't have it in hand on announcement day. I will be purchasing the Apple Watch Series 8 with my own money, and I plan to post videos of my unboxing, setup, review, comparisons, and other guides. So definitely stay tuned for those videos 😊
Currently, the make and receive phone calls feature is not available. If/when it become available, you just need your phone nearby. There is not a cellular version of any Fitbit.
My versa 3 died after 1.5 years. I bought the versa 4 it doesn't even compare to versa 3. Versa 4 doesn't have 3rd party apps like Starbucks, I can't broadcast through Google mini with alexa and you can't see your weekly stats on it. Only through the phone app. Probably won't buy a fitbit again after this one dies...
Sometimes companies do this so they can have a “budget-friendly” option. Apple does this as well (you could buy a new Series 3, but not a new Series 4, 5, or 6 directly from Apple).
@@wearablewhisperer Yeah. It's annoying though. I traded in my Versa 2 and used the credit to buy a Luxe and I'm on my third device in 5 months because of battery issues. My options were to get a discounted Versa 2 or Charge 5 or a free Luxe. I wasn't interested in the Charge 5, but I also didn't want to get the watch I JUST HAD given it's nearly 2 generations old now.
Adding the button back is a god-send!
I’m glad they did it! The OS looks good too, I was disappointed with the charge 5 but this looks so much better
I agree! I was not a fan of the haptic button at all. Will be nice to have apps in a vertical list instead of swiping 4 at a time, too.
I just got the fitbit versa 4 and I'm enjoying it so far.
I bought Versa 4 coz of pink. 😁

I find it really odd that Google Assistant is not on the Versa 4 and Sense 2. And no mention of music features. 🤔
It is very odd. Hopefully it is just some mistake/omission. Only time will tell...
@@wearablewhisperer I sure hope it is just a mistake.
All the best Wearable Whisperer.
Thank you 🙏 😊
@@wearablewhisperer You are most welcome.
Hello and congratulations for your reviews. by chance do you know when the Google wallet and Google Maps functions will be implemented?
Thank you. Unfortunately I do not know.
I have a versa 3

You can still buy the versa 3! but I would recommend that you get the 4!

Wearable whisperer are you going to make a video of the Apple Watch series 8 when it comes out?

Do you need a carrier to use the phone?

Same here. I'm not liking the 4 over the 3. Fit it to be a newer model it's very plain also.
Does fitbit versa 2 bands fit the fitbit versa 4?
Yes
And thyp versa on fitbit versa 4? @@wearablewhisperer
What I find interesting is that I can buy a Versa 2, but not a Versa 3

Can you send text messages from it if you have an iPhone?
Unfortunately no
Can I get text messages &receive phone calls on the versa
The Versa 4, yes
Do it reply to whatsapp messages with iphone?
No. You can only read messages but can’t reply to them on the watch
I have mine preordered, but I’m being charged $299…
Being upgraded from versa 2 😂
