Fitbit Versa Lite Edition Smart Watch, One Size (S and L Bands Included), 1 Count

I love the color

This is actually a replacement for a previous Versa Lite which gave up after a fairly long life. I get compliments for the color which is always nice. The one critical feature for me is that while your asleep it monitors your heart and you can request that it provides notification of irregular rhythm. For me that one feature is worth every penny. I tried a newer Fitbit but it only provided that check manually instead of automatically- which made it worthless to me.I was diagnosed recently with sleep apnea and this watch is invaluable to me since it gives me a pretty accurate summary each morning and the app rates my sleep quality and provides data for the amount of REM sleep that I got the previous night.When you set up the app you can designate whether the watch is on your dominant wrist and you can also change the sensitivity of the sleep program.On a different note- the first watch that was shipped wouldn't charge on my computer, they immediately shipped its replacement and it worked perfectly.The only trick was that I had to uninstall my previous watch from my phone app and then it detected my new watch and I was able to proceed with the installation.

Initially, I loved this watch. I was given a Versa watch before this, but it fell apart; literally it came apart after a year and I'm not rough with watches at all. But, I really enjoyed it so I bought this one (Versa Lite) in August 2020. Sigh. It worked great. It was really doing a good job motivating me with my steps and fitness. Then a week ago, I made the fatal mistake of updating to the constantly suggested firmware. Before the update, my watch stayed charged at least 4 days, after the update it would need recharging every 12 hours. Then just a day ago it started only holding a charge for 2 hours or so. And now, today, my Fitbit just completely died. I'm really disappointed that after 5 months and $110, my Fitbit died. I can't bring myself to purchase another one even though I really love it because after a quick Google search, the reduced battery charge after completing firmware updates seems to have been an ongoing issue since at least 2016. But in my case, all they did was convince a guaranteed lifetime customer to seek a different product, which is very disheartening considering how much I really loved their Versa brand.UPDATE: I called Fitbit, they troubleshot my watch, confirmed I was still under warranty and gave me a choice of 50% off an upgraded watch or send another replacement of my current watch for free. I like my current watch, so I opted for that. If your watch is giving you problems or dies and it's been less than a year since you purchased it, call them and they will help you find the best solution. All of their watches in the U.S. have a one year warranty that they honor. Thank you Fitbit!

Fits good and is very readable

This was my third fitbit so I have experience in knowing how they work or how they should work. This Versa Lite does not meet the standards. It started telling me that I had burned 4500+ calories in a day, had a heart rate of 185, and earned 30 hours worth of zone minutes. There is no way on this planet that those numbers were at all accurate. Of course this happened after the 30-day return policy expired. I'd had it for just over three months at the time.My first call to customer service, outsourced to the Philippines, led to a rep who tried to be helpful. He provided a fix. This fix only lasted a few hours. My next call to customer service, also outsourced to the Philippines, yielded the information from the rep that I had purchased a refurbished watch that was registered four years ago. WTF?????In the interim, the watch ceased working at all. Instead, the screen will not fully light and when it does, all that appears is lines of color acrosss the screen.ADDED: Well...it seems that, although I purchased the fitbit on Amazon, it was sold through an "unauthorized vendor" according to the third person with whom I spoke at Fitbit customer service. As such, there was no recourse for me. My next call was to Amazon who ultimately agreed I could return the watch to them. However, there is a 20% restocking fee--as if they will restock a nonworking fitbit. But that offer beat nothing. I never thought that Amazon would allow unauthorized vendors to sell items, but I guess I'm simply too naive.
