As the name indicates, the Fitbit Versa Lite is similar in design and looks, but with fewer features and a smaller price tag. If you aren't too bothered about maxing out on apps and workout routines, the Lite is a good option, but it may not have enough features for serious runners, cyclists, or gym bunnies. With its soft angles and slim screen, this smartwatch features a minimalist design and beautiful finishes. With only 23 grams on the scale, it is light enough to be worn continuously and forgotten. The Fitbit Versa 2 also features an elegant silhouette, enhanced by interchangeable straps in different materials and colours. The American manufacturer has created a watch that will suit all wearers, regardless of taste. Daily Monitoring As a second test, I took it out running on a regular route around my neighbourhood that Mapometre measures as exactly 5km. Fitbit said I did 4.74km this time, giving me an average pace that was slower than I actually achieved. The reason for this is pretty clear when you dig into the mapping data:Fitbit Versa Lite – Simple, easy to use, and with key fitness and smart features, the Fitbit Versa Lite Edition is cheaper and more accessible version of the Versa 2. The low price is great, but it also means that you won't have access to some features of the Versa 2 such as Spotify or Fitbit Pay, so perhaps this is a good choice if price is your main concern.

Fitbit boasts that the Versa 2 has over 4 days of battery life, but naturally that depends on usage and other external factors. A full charge from 0% to 100% should take around 2 hours. Learn more about your runs and hikes by connecting to your phone's GPS to see pace and distance on display, plus get a map of your route in the Fitbit app. Battery life varies with use and other factors. The SpO2 feature and always-on display mode require more frequent charging.

Again, this isn’t necessarily Fitbit’s fault but it does underline the perils of relying on phone data rather than bundling a dedicated GPS chip. If you can’t trust your phone’s GPS and you’re a serious runner, then the Fitbit Versa 2 simply isn’t for you. Fitbit Versa 2 review: Fitbit Premium
