Of note, Fitbit is selling three varieties of rose gold watches this year-with pink, purple, and green bands-which speaks to the gender-neutral look and size of the watch. I particularly liked the orange-and-charcoal woven reflective band, which is available for $40, but the simple sport bands are sharp too. The pin mechanism isn’t quite as easy as the quick-release buttons on the Charge 3 or Apple Watch, but it’s simple enough to use them before and after a workout. Michael Simon/IDGįitbit has ditched the side buttons on the Fitbit Versa 2 (bottom).Įlsewhere, the Versa 2 mimics the Versa, with a black, silver, or rose gold body, and a variety of swappable bands. Without the logo, your eyes will be firmly fixed on the display, and the centering brings a balance that wasn’t there before. Fitbit has eliminated its logo from the front of the watch, a decision that allows the screen to shift a millimeter or two lower so the bezel are uniform all around. The position of the screen is a much less obvious tweak, but it’s a refreshing one. Also, you have to try really hard to see where the display ends and the bezel begins, which gives it a classier overall feel.

On the original Versa, text and images on the LCD display were a touch dull due to backlighting, but they’re bright and vibrant on the Versa 2’s OLED screen. The OLED display on the Fitbit Versa 2 (right) is brighter and richer than the original model’s LCD.Īt 1.34 inches, the display is the same size as before, but there are two notable changes that make a huge difference: It’s OLED and it’s centered.
