Fitbit released its original Versa watch about a year ago as a smarter, more playful extension of its range of fitness watches. It was, in effect, a cheaper rival to the smartwatch big guns: the Apple Watch, and Samsung's Gear series.
This is the 'Lite' version, which is a pared-back
model, so it's missing a couple of functions.
You can't store music, it won't track your swim laps, there are no on-screen workouts and it's got just the single button on the left-hand side. But, because of all that, it's also a bit cheaper, making it more accessible for those who can't afford the top brands.
How does it work?
Like most Fitbit watches, you charge it up, strap it on, synch it to an app on your phone, and away you go. It will count your steps, measure your heart rate, and track your sleep. The battery lasts around five days, it's waterproof so you can take it swimming, and there are different watch straps for different sized wrists. The biggest change here is the colour: the Versa Lite comes in some very bold shades of metallic blue and lilac. Good move.
