By far the best review of the fit bit versa 3. I have wanted one for my birthday next week and I have looked at a lot of reviews and this is the best one!❤️
Best review of the Fitbit Versa 3. My Fitbit Ionic just died and I am heartbroken. I really liked it and they are now discontinued. I am looking into the Versa 3. I hear a lot of complaints about the syincing and no actual button. I am still deciding if I even want to stick with Fitbit. I love the App itself.
Thanks so much for your comments Gloria and thanks for watching! I've been happy with the Versa 3 using it now for the past 10 months. I've gotten used to using the haptic button on it. My Versa 3 has been syncing well and I really like the Fitbit app. If you can wait just a bit longer, typically there are a lot of new smart watches released in the fall (mid September) at that time current smart watches like the versa 3 typically drop in price making it an even better deal to pick one up.
Great review! I ended up getting the Versa 3 with an excellent customer discount as a result of the Ionic (which I loved) being discontinued. Pretty familiar with the basic apps since I mainly use mine for exercise. Thanks!
I’m a new owner of versa 3. I can receive texts but once I answer the text I can’t seem to find it again in notification like you showed by swiping down. My Notification Center says you’re all caught up.
Hi I have the Fitbit versa 3 and when I'm watching the videos they are leaving a lot of stuff out for example on my one I am able to you use 5 watch faces as you know but you can now incorporate a personal photograph as a watch feature also when a watch is on display there are four Points top-left top-right bottom-left bottom-right which will shortcut you two different features also when you download Google assistant once the watch is linked to your phone you can just say to Google dad and it will call also you can set it so that when your phone receives a call it will go directly to the Watch audio and all I have also been able to stream TH-cam music coming from the Watch then I linked my airpods and was able to listen to them through my earbuds Wi-Fi was not necessary once you connect with Bluetooth it will keep most features running just have a good look at your watch then your phone there is a lot of stuff that people are just not aware of I hope this was helpful if you want to know anything or have any questions just hit me up and I'm sure I can help
Just got mine last week and all the functions had me so confused. This really helped! I still have an issue of some sort of music app randomly popping up so hopefully I can figure that out too.
I watched another video about Versa 3 and it was so different. Didn't have anything on the side and was different on the underneath. Please let me know what is the difference???
Why does it go to exercise automatically? I have played tennis at 1 in the morni go whilst sleeping. It is so irritating. What can I do to stop the watch from doing it?
Great video. Helped me a lot although I currently do not have a Fitbit. My previous Fitbit, which just died in 2019, was purchased sometime in 2014 or 2015. I loved it, but it eventually would not charge any more. About the only issue I had with it was that I could not update the current time when I changed time zones. This was really a problem when I moved to New Zealand for 7 months. It took 2 weeks for the time to catch up, and then I visited Australia, which made it have incorrect time again for about a week. HOW do you manually change the time when you are travelling and need to keep track of the correct time? I would assume that Fitbit's Versa 3 does this.
Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching! got another video dropping tomorrow that talks all about the updates they just released.
I got the verse 3 for Christmas and several days trying to understand how to use it and your video really made my life easier 👍😃 just one thing cannot manage yet, when I go to change the clock or apps it writes that the internet connection is not found try again, that's really upsetting. Maybe you know what I am doing wrong? Thank you again for the video, really very useful! 😀
Hi Natalia, thank so much for watching! I'm glad the video was helpful for you. I'm not sure why its not finding your internet connection. There's a fitbit article on fitbit's community page here with this same question with answers. community.fitbit.com/t5/iOS-App/Fitbit-app-constantly-says-quot-No-Internet-Connection-quot/td-p/2838521 This may also be a question for fitbit customer support, they have a phone number on their website to contact them.
@@TinkerForward thank you a lot for the response :) I have noticed that the options you can use in fitbit depend from where are you using the watch. When I was in England I could not change the screen of my watch but could use Alexa, but now I am in Europe and I can change the screen and download some apps, but can't use Alexa, so I looks like it depends from your location.
hello, I have a versa 3 it was set up on a device, but that device is broken now I have another device and I can't get into my account. because it was set up with a different cell number so when it is sending me a code it's going to the first number which I no longer have what should I do.
Does the Fitbit versa 3 only come in rose gold, black and not in silver? The one you have looks silver with the blue band, but is it rose gold and not silver? I’ve been looking at them in Ebay and can’t seem to find a silver one.
This was an excellent explanation as i only just got my Versa 3. It wouldn't let me set up a card payment. Kept saying my Versa 3 was unstable and needed rebooting. I'm not sure what this means i need to do, please help.
I will be unboxing my fitbit versa 3 this xmas. Please tell me if double tapping screen can wake the device also how does the raise wrist to wake work. Thanks
Yes, double tapping the screen can wake the watch. For the raise your wrist, when you are wearing the watch and raise your wrist it will wake up the screen.
Thank you so much for helping me get started with my versa 3. You created the best video of all I have watched. I am disappointed in the versa 3 inability to download music. I assumed it would be just like the versa but with a GPS. I love listening to music while I run and don't want to carry my phone. Maybe I will have to wear both watches while I run! One for music and one for the GPS. Does anyone know of a fitbit that does both music (without a phone) and GPS?
Is the magnet in the Versa 3 as strong as the magnet in the Sense? I had to return the Sense yesterday as the magnet in the watch was strong enough to set off my pacemaker. My Charge 2 that I currently have does not do this.
Love this review!! I would just like to know if you can view the hours slept on your device when you wake up in the morning without having to sync it to your phone? Appreciate your reponse. Thank youuu!
How or where can I get more details about the FitBit Sense clock face called "SPECTRUM" haven't seen much about the details of that watch face about the way the colors work goin from the bottom up
What are your thoughts on the haptic button? It seems like people have mixed thoughts on it. I own a Fitbit Versa 2 and I like what I've seen with the Versa 3 so far.
It's not bad, sometimes it seems like it's not always as responsive as I'd like. Occasionally when I push on it it doesn't seem to recognize I'm pushing on it. I like the sleekness of it in the design. I think it'll be something Fitbit will keep going forward as it's one less moving part they have to engineer.
I've just got this, previously had versa lite. Watching your video and looking at my fone, i can't see on the notifications a "call" "text" message or "email"
I enjoyed your run through on the Versa 3. I am thinking of buying one for my wife and it was good to follow along with you to see all of its features. Unfortunately, I just recently purchased a Versa 2 for myself. Had I seen this video sooner I would have purchased a Versa 3 instead of the 2. I like the GPS feature on this model. Thank you.
Do I have have my phone on me to get txt msgs and to reply or no? If I'm 30 to 50 feet away from my phone with the versa. I was sure if there was a distance. And do I keep my.
Premium is not necessary, but it gives you more health stats, sleeping stats and guided programs. They offer a free trial period if you just want to try it out.
I got a fitbit versa 3 for Christmas 2020. I don't know how the time and date becomes incorrect but it is incorrect again for the 3rd time. I went to the clock but did not see instructions to change the information.
Hi Deborah, I've done a video on how to change your Fitbit time if it's not correct. You can check out the video here: th-cam.com/video/ytG--TcsRzI/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps you out!
Lol... got a chuckle out of when you said “25k trainer”. It’s actually called C25k... couch to (2) 5k..... 🤪🤪🤪 It’s a training program for getting ready to run a 5K.
Your set up was super easy. Mine is having issues... Its saying that it is connecting to the blue tooth but dropping and its not moving on from the initial set up screen. Im wondering if I will need constant wifi for it to work or just for the set up... Cause blue tooth is letting me down 😞 I had such high hopes lol.
Hi Sheri, sorry to hear that yours is having issues. Mine was super easy to setup. If you are still having trouble you may want to contact fitbit's customer support phone number and they might be able to help you out. I've contacted them before with help I've needed with other fitbit products and they've been helpful for me. Thanks so much for watching. When you get it working be sure to check out my other fitbit videos like my Fitbit Tutorials Playlist which includes my Top 10 Versa 3 clock faces, how to start a challenge and invite friends and more great videos to help you get the most from your fitbit!

I have the Fitbit 3 but the charging is different
Was looking for it but did not find it.
Thank you for actually showing this 65yr old woman how to set it up. Others left me more confused then before their videos !

Thanks for all the info never knew my versa 3 could do that by the way I like all the Brewer stuff in the background
Thanks Dennis! I'm glad you found the video helpful! Go Brewers!
This is by far the best versa 3 review I watched. Very detailed and informative review! Thank you.
Love mine, both for my workouts and as an everyday watch. I use Alexa as my assistant and can control things in my apt. using the voice command.
Great video! Very detailed!
Thank you! Thanks for watching! I've got more helpful fitbit tips and tutorial videos on the channel as well.
Best review ever! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, I have learnt a lot, thank you!

Just got mine last week and all the functions had me so confused. This really helped! I still have an issue of some sort of music app randomly popping up so hopefully I can figure that out too.
Mine is working,but it is very glitchy. My first V3 didn't last a month. Praying for a different outcome.
You saved me some money. The lack of music options killed it for me. Seems some of these devices restrict because of partnerships? No spotify. Bummer.
I watched another video about Versa 3 and it was so different. Didn't have anything on the side and was different on the underneath. Please let me know what is the difference???
The 12mins for 1 day of battery life is from 0%, or close to it. Chargers slow down the amperage as the battery percentage increases.
Hi thanks for the video. Unboxing my new versa 3
My unboxings never go like this lol I always tear through the packaging in excitement 😂🤭😍🤦🏽♀️
Yes, its tempting for me as well to want to rip the package right open!
@@TinkerForward Yesss!
Hi, Brilliant video, can you tell me if the versa 3 has the elevation as did the charge 4. Thanks
would you recommend this to buy.i have a charge 4. tried lots of others but the apps are useless.
Great information 👍. Thank you 😊
Very in-depth review... Didn't find this info elsey
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
Excellent review, you did great. Looking at the Versa 3 in my opinion it looks kinda strange.

Unfortunately, Fitbit doesn't provide decent free clock faces. Apple has them beat here. Also, I find it a little difficult to navigate.
Very helpful review

Here's a link on Fitbit's website indicating compatible devices:

Does this Fitbit record steps when using a treadmill?
Yeah mine always has.
Thanks a lot I really appreciate
Do I have have my phone on me to get txt msgs and to reply or no? If I'm 30 to 50 feet away from my phone with the versa. I was sure if there was a distance. And do I keep my.

when hiking it the hills does it show feet of ascent as well as distance?
Does the countdown timer interup the music you're listening to?
Somewhere I read that the Versa has a built-in mic/speaker for calls but that is not true?
Correct the Versa 3 has a mic/speaker for taking phone calls on the watch, but your phone needs to be near the watch.
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have never used a smart watch before. Would this enable me to set a location to get back home if I've lost my way?
No it would not
I didn't get the code number for pairing. What am I doing wrong?
How to re-set the time and date if the time and date is wrong?
Lol... got a chuckle out of when you said “25k trainer”. It’s actually called
C25k... couch to (2) 5k..... 🤪🤪🤪
It’s a training program for getting ready to run a 5K.
Jeff, I will be interested in the versa 3. I would like the GPS feature and heartrate monitor. I'm not interested in paying for the premium service
is there any plan for Fitbit to fix and allow storing music with streaming services?
There seems to be nothing different on the verse 3 than there is on the verse 2. Was hoping they would add the feature to make calls and receive calls
I can not find the apps on my phone under fitbit app to get the wallet part into the phone and can't change face -
hi I can't get my sleep to register please can u help ?
so why won't the clock face won't change for the o2 level?
how do I change temp from C to F

You can't load your own mp3 music files to Versa 3 and Sense. That's a deal breaker for me. I'll stick with my Ionic.😐
Haha lol
Re: Music, Deezer Premium will allow you to download playlists to your watch so that you don't need your phone with you,'
Spotify, you need your phone with you, it will not allow you to download playlists.
Can you change the clock face of versa3 without using the phone. Thanks
Yes you can. Its on the clock setting on your versa 3.😊
10:56 was when Tinker appeared
Can I make assistant talk back?
Hi, do you know how to programme? We can collaborate and make apps for Fitbit.
is google calendar available on the watch or only agenda?
Hi, only agenda, but it synced with my google calendar so all of my upcoming events show up in Agenda.
Anyone else having the issue where there notifications don't vibrate?
The little robot was on the time 25:50
Not happy that the versa3 does not work with apple products
Yep, part of that is Apple locking out functions form Fitbit.
Speed 1.5
Do you have to set the button up? Bc I press it and its a hit and miss :(
Fitbit verses 3 waterproof
i still cant get text message
