The watch holds a charge and charges quickly.There are a myriad of other functions like music storage, payments and apps that I do not use but, I could see the benefit as well. It is more discrete than picking up my phone and, I often find myself not next to my phone. Fast forward to present day and I can truthfully state I dig the ability to see who may be calling, emails and texts directly from my wrist. I thought the notifications were redundant and unnecessary. I was gifted a smart watch several years back and I quickly gave it up. The non-fitness aspects of the watch are functional.It is not flashy and it has a big enough face and classic enough look that it can work for male or female and, business or casual.

So, the idea of moving to something like this was a bit new and it needed to be able to mesh with both my casual and work life. I am used to wearing either a G-Shock or a “nice” aviation-styled watch. Fitbit will be adding similar support for Google Assistant before the end of the year and here’s hoping it’s as well integrated as Alexa. It’s a smart assistant on a smartwatch that’s a joy to interact with, even though it can't read those answers back to you through its speaker. Its success rate at dealing with queries about the next England game or setting reminders to go for a run at lunch was spot on. This landed on the last Versa and it’s back once again to handle the kind of queries you can direct at your Amazon smart speaker. Fitbit will eventually let you take calls when your phone is nearby, but it’s not ready to roll that feature out just yet.Īs for iPhone owners? They can make use of the Versa 3's Amazon Alexa voice assistant capabilities, just like everyone else. When a message lands, you can fire back a response via voice or preset replies, though this is a feature that’s currently reserved for Android phone owners. Where you’ll find more joy with the Versa 3 is with the smartwatch staples. If you’re yearning for something that’s going to make a good marathon training partner, then you’re simply not going to get the necessary level of accuracy to obsess over during or after your exercise time. It wants to be a better sports watch by throwing GPS into the mix so you can map your outdoor runs, rides and hikes without relying on your phone: a big step in the right direction.
