In the US and Australia, though, the Versa 3 carries a higher price tag than its predecessor, retailing for $229 and AU$399 respectively. Interestingly, in the UK, both the Versa 2 and the Versa 3 are listed for the same price of £199.

Battery life is about six days on a dim screen setting, but it drops to half that if you have the display set to always-on. There are ways to manage them all, but they do take time to get used to.ĭespite that, performance is excellent, as we've come to expect from Fitbit devices.
