The Fitbit Versa 3 has been an incredible tool for this. At the beginning of the month, I decided to cut down on the amount of time I spent on my phone. More than any of these features, probably the thing I like most is how much less frequently I pick up my phone now. I’m really excited to wear this smartwatch when I travel next year. Pre-pandemic, I went to Mexico every year and was always a little frustrated that my hours of outdoor, open-water swims weren’t reflected in my fitness tracker data.
The Fitbit Versa 3 is fully waterproof. Integrated GPS means I can leave my phone at home and still get accurate tracking for any outdoor running, walking or biking that I do. With Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa integrated into the Fitbit Versa 3, I can easily set reminders, check the weather, set alarms and control my Google mini Home (or any other Google Smart Home device I might get). I can see how many steps I’ve taken, how many flights of stairs I’ve climbed, how long I slept the night before (and how well I slept - I am obsessed with this data), and how many steps I’ve taken in the past hour (as part of the 250 steps/hour goal). The majority of the information on the Fitbit app is available on the watch. Initial set-up was simple and charging is so easy - the charger is magnetic and snaps right on, which is a real improvement from the old cradle-style chargers I've used in the past. There are hundreds of Fitbit clock faces available and there is something for absolutely everyone. Previous iterations of smart watches have gotten dinged for having a blank display when they’re not in use, and the Fitbit Versa 3 has solved this problem beautifully. I’m using one of the always-on watch faces that displays the time of day at all times, and then comes to life with a more robust display when you lift your wrist. The display is crystal clear, packed with information, and incredibly clever. I wear a lot of black and a lot of chambray and olive green is the perfect accent colour. Here’s what I liked about the Fitbit Versa 3 Smartwatch with Voice Assistant, GPS and 24/7 HR in Olive Green:
While I knew the Versa 3 would be a step up from my previous Fitbit, I was surprised to find that it really is a full-featured smartwatch. While I was a happy Fitbit Charge 3 owner, I was looking for more features and a more fashionable look, and that’s why I tried out the Fitbit Versa 3 Smartwatch in Olive Green, which is an exclusive colour to Best Buy.
I’ve also owned a Fitbit Flex and a Fitbit Charge 3. I’ve been a faithful Fitbit user for many years! My first Fitbit was a Fitbit Zip that I clipped to the inside of my shirt.
