Like the Versa, the Lite is so comfortable that I often forgot I was wearing it, only to be reminded it was on my wrist when it buzzed to remind me to move.
I still prefer the original Versa with a rose gold case and lavender band, but I appreciate that the Lite has a single button on its side compared to the Versa's three, simplifying both its aesthetic and navigation. My review unit has a white silicone strap with a silver case, which is pretty bland, although the one with a blue band and face is quite attractive. The new watch is identical to the original, which looks a lot like a fat Apple Watch. Both devices pack the same CPU, though, so their overall performance is otherwise about the same.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy.Įxternally, the Versa Lite is basically the Versa. It's not slow per se, but things like downloading apps or updating firmware crawl over the Bluetooth connection with my phone. The absence of WiFi, however, might explain some of the sluggishness I noticed when testing the Versa Lite. Transferring music to the Versa and Ionic never worked well for me anyway, so I guess it's nice to have one less thing to be frustrated by? And, although I really liked Fitbit Coach and its helpful workout guides, it also requires a paid subscription if you want more than a handful of routines. Most of these are minor omissions - only people who are used to Fitbit's higher-end devices will miss the altimeter. Finally, it lacks onscreen tutorials via the Fitbit Coach app, as well as WiFi, which means you'll find it slower than usual when you're indoors. You'll need to bring your phone on your runs or gym sessions for your tunes, too, since the Lite doesn't offer onboard music storage. It also lacks a gyroscope, which means it can't count your laps in the pool, though it will still track your calories burned and the duration of your swim. The Lite doesn't have an altimeter to measure elevation, so it won't be able to detect if you've climbed floors. For the slightly lower cost, you'll have to make do with a few omissions.
