Like the design. I just bought my Fitbit Ionic, so thankfully this watch doesn't have GPS integrated. Nice option for people who don't care of the GPS, as well as cheaper.
I mean, it's definitely an improvement on the Ionic, especially in the design, but I still don't think Fitbit have taken as much from Pebble as they should have. It still doesn't have the personality of the pebble...
From what I've read, the Fitbit Ionic couldn't reject Android calls? That was a deal breaker for me. Hopefully the Versa can do this. Nice looking watch.
Will it require the Fitbit Flyer headphones? I wanted the Ionic but it allowed you to play downloaded music which no one really does anymore. I think I saw the Pandora app which is a definite plus. I didn't get the Ionic for that reason and because the Ionic was $300 plus the $130 headphones is not really a bargain.
Frankly, pebble's simplicity and uniqueness is still unmatched today. I don't want my phone on my wrist. I want something that gives me reasons not to access my phone in clutch situations. the lack of a touchscreen was a bizarre and much appreciated feature to me. You didn't have to look at the watch and use the buttons to perform actions on the go that would take stopping what you're doing and swipe, swipe, swipe. I'm busy like everyone else. I don't have time to look at my watch for 10+ seconds at a time. If I did, then I just take my phone. I just want the pebble back with the useful features that have come about these past years like nfc and gps. But don't listen to this die-hard pebble fan (I still wear mine).
Honestly, for my money the Fitbit Ionic beats this and Apple Watch in terms of style. The Ionic has a classic look that I have been complimented on frequently.
The cpu and gpu must be on the lower end for clock speed to get the battery life they are claiming and also the animations and transitions are pretty slow and not very smooth.
It's a little bit too pricey and 4 gigs of memory is not that much with apps and music put in together. we need more memory um also it should be somewhat bezel to bezel I mean I like that squared type bezel but still needs to be bezel to bezel I like it but not for me I'm still on my series 3 Apple watch haven't found another watch like it so far
Who is this guy? Hasn’t he know of any other smart watch manufacturers other than Apple. Really thought this would be good first look with that’s on the market except this is ‘hey I’ve got a watch here that looks like an Apple Watch huh’ eessh!
You can see the pebble DNA in the watch.
Fitbit acquired pebble.
More pebble vibes from this one! Fitbit is on the right track now I guess...
Miyuru Weerarathna Lol, Pebble went out of business
Miyuru Weerarathna I mean they did buy pebble, it would be a waste not to use pebble’s hardware design (and maybe software
Ryan Kim looks cheap and sloppy
Ryan Kim they for sure are using software, now going for hardware
Seth Nuzum pebble went out of business because they tried to expand too quickly not because the product sucked
Like the design. I just bought my Fitbit Ionic, so thankfully this watch doesn't have GPS integrated. Nice option for people who don't care of the GPS, as well as cheaper.
This is why Fitbit needed pebble. I was confused about ionic THIS is the sweet spot for this tracker !
I bought a Pebble Time 2. Got refunded when I didn’t ship. Good to see it’s come out again 😸
Except the Time 2 was supposed to have 10+ day battery life, and Fitbit only squeezed out 4+ here
*This Design remind me of Pebble,Pebble i miss you...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭*
Pebble Died for This!!!
TheEseJandro more like pepple lives on in this.
Give them a chance
It has music storage but no GPS... so I still have to bring my phone, right?
wow . Back on track fitbit. Nice design and affordable price
Thank god they finally made a design that looks good!!! Now I am kinda happy I still have the blaze and didn’t get the ionic yet.
Dunno why.... But I feel like there should be more pebble in this new watch
I mean, it's definitely an improvement on the Ionic, especially in the design, but I still don't think Fitbit have taken as much from Pebble as they should have. It still doesn't have the personality of the pebble...
AdamIsTalking nope they have not. Has the App Store improved? No word on that in this video
To me the Ionic is more stylish with a classic look. This versa will be better for many people though...
just got mine! love it! I swim laps with it and it is just great in the pool !
I really missed the colorful e-paper display and the buttons...
This is the true successor of pebble!
It really isn't...
Epaper display and we're good
*I want Pebble Time 2 :(*
If only the straps weren't ridiculously priced. I'm a metal band kinda guy and it's pre-order right now for $99.99 USD
Look at Apple link bracelet pricing and Fitbit feels cheap ;)
You didn't mention if it takes calls or sends and responds to text messages. If I miss that part, sorry.
Now that's the Fitbit I've been waiting for.
what I would like to know is if you can change the watch face with a picture, and if I can receive notifications through Bluetooth
Battery life? or did I miss that
James C 4 days
Damn that's good, thanks!
James C up to 4days
Last me 4 days of use before recharge which takes not long at all great
Even though I just got the Fitbit blaze like 2 months ago, but I’m definitely getting this xD
As the thousands that backed the time 2, I feel the bezel was a LOT thinner, this looks somewhat similar to my pebble time steel
Reminds me of Pebble
NA, Fitbit bought our pebble, and used their design.
So now on when my Apple Watch people going to asked me is it a pebble or is that an Apple Watch?
how long for the battery life?
Can you get UA-cam on the Fitbit?
Great video! One question, does it have an always-on display?
Type of charging? Did I miss that? Otherwise, looks like it might be a winner (still rockin' my Pebble One)
Looks like a child of Pebble and Fitbit. Damn
From what I've read, the Fitbit Ionic couldn't reject Android calls? That was a deal breaker for me. Hopefully the Versa can do this. Nice looking watch.
It can, might have been a glitch.
will fitbit design their smart phone? or maybe separate app for the growing fitbit community?
I wish I found this review before I surfed through 300 crap reviews thank you very much for that very informative
I miss pebble..
Hasn’t Fitbit made 2 smartwatches before ? The Fitbit Ionic and Fitbit Blaze ?
That will be a perfect present for mothers day or wifes :)
Is it water proof?
Hm I wonder if you use wireless headphones with a mic would it let you text that way
It looks like Pebble Time 2!
fightnight14 I'm actually wearing a Pebble 2 right now
Wesley Bush He said Pebble TIME 2. Not Pebble 2. The Pebble Time 2 had a Kickstarter but never got released, unlike the Pebble 2...
I still want a Pebble Time 2 it has supposed to be 10 day batt life
fightnight14 Sadly, it will never see it’s days :(...
Nice colors.
Spotify onboard, yes or not?
why does it have built in memory for music storage (great for running etc) but needs your phone for GPS?????
I want one! Lol when that guy fell off the paddle board!
Aren't I supposed to be able to answer calls and text or not. Thanks
Will it require the Fitbit Flyer headphones? I wanted the Ionic but it allowed you to play downloaded music which no one really does anymore. I think I saw the Pandora app which is a definite plus.

Can it connect to Huawei p8
I still have a question about the Watch can you call on it and download apps on it??
And text

does anyone know if it answers calls? I seen that it does quick replies text msgs
I love bezels! We can use a little more bezels.
are those regualar 20 mm watch starps?
For me (pebble user) this will help me when my p.time will die
I wouldn't be buying a Fitbit or taking it seriously until it has a microphone
But does it show time ?
Damn that was fast. I just got the ionic lol
want one
Actually, the purple one that is shown at the beginning, costs $229
Does anyone know which kind of straps does it have? like 20 or 22 mm?
It just looks like the pebble time.
The Nissan "Versa" of watches
They need to have an option for heat rate straps. The only thing I hate about fitbits
Isn't there anywhere that tells me how to use it
Honestly, for my money the Fitbit Ionic beats this and Apple Watch in terms of style. The Ionic has a classic look that I have been complimented on frequently.
Pebble remake
Looks much better since they bought out pebble
I'm gonna die alone
This was the first comment btw
It all works out in the end, if it's something that's important to you there's a way to do it
Hello guys, does anyone wanna review replacement bands for Fitbit charge 2 / Fitbit alta (HR)?
I sold my ionic to buy a versa. I hope I made a good decision.
INFO-MERCIAL
IDK how you go through that whole review and not mention the influence from Pebble. But that being said, as soon as an LCARS face is ready, I'm game.
The cpu and gpu must be on the lower end for clock speed to get the battery life they are claiming and also the animations and transitions are pretty slow and not very smooth.
It's a watch. Battery life > animation speed
blabla how bout battery life?
Winston Yaw 4 days I read
Ekana Stone Wow, is he trying to help them or push people to the apple watch. That's a spec too impressive to leave out.
Hope it has at least 2 to 4 days battery life.
"4+ days"
Cameron Cross Thanks, sounds good.
no GPS. Na!!!
It has huge bezels, just like the Blaze. Too bad they did not fix that.
Bezels for days!
oh no, how terrible
What about men’s health features!? Can I track my sperm count? Or T levels?
No but you can track your ejaculations
Damn...
Great review! Thanks. :-)
Odd that a $60 Amazfit Bip or a $160 Amazfit Pace 2 have GPS.
I will never buy a fitbit ever again after the way I got treated
It's a little bit too pricey and 4 gigs of memory is not that much with apps and music put in together. we need more memory um also it should be somewhat bezel to bezel I mean I like that squared type bezel but still needs to be bezel to bezel I like it but not for me I'm still on my series 3 Apple watch haven't found another watch like it so far
Apple Watch is still the best option
Can you text on it?
Fitbit bought out pebble so that's why it looks like one
too much talking but no mention about battery life
Abi Nubli 4+ days
Abi Nubli google?
Up to 5 days. 4 for sure
just 2.5gb of music storage again... in 2018 ffs, memory is not that rare or expensive
Limited space is my guess. It is a watch after all, and "the slimmest yet" at that
Who is this guy? Hasn’t he know of any other smart watch manufacturers other than Apple. Really thought this would be good first look with that’s on the market except this is ‘hey I’ve got a watch here that looks like an Apple Watch huh’ eessh!
Fact check: definitely not the 2nd fitbit smartwatch. Blaze was the first “smart watch”
Watching with 1.5x speed😏
Watching with 2x speed...
Thanks
I like it but it really looks like an Apple Watch
Apple Watch looks like Pebble so...
Amazfit bip, cheaper option if i may say
look at that LAAAAAG
It’s a pebble...
A pity that does not have GPS
i remain incredibly pissed that this company took pebble
Can you say B-E-Z-E-L?
Sorry, sticking with my Apple Watch! It can do so much more for around the same price..
l wish l could get one
Why you mention apple at all? Nothing to do whatever with apple.
They not only copied the casing but also the bands... ==
Masculine it's something its not.
In fact most smart watches either look like friendship bracelets or a hospital tag
Looks like an Apple Watch.
