Fitbit Charge 3 or Fitbit Versa

6 replies

Londongirl888 · 30/12/2018 23:34

Hi I am wanting to monitor and improve my fitness. The charge 3 is around £130 and the Versa smart watch is around £160 and has more functions. I have a lot of watches I like to wear and wondered if it would look odd to wear a smart watch on the other wrist? Also are they comfortable to wear in bed to monitor sleep ? Can anyone recommend either. - thanks

I've got the charge 3 (and previously had the charge 2) but can't comment on the versa.

I wear the charge as a watch (it has a clock face) but if you wanted to wear it on the other hand as well as a watch, I suppose that would be ok. Absolutely fine to sleep in, I don't notice it.

I've had no end of issues with my charge 2 working correctly with my iPhone SE. It was fine for the first 8/9 months but hasn't worked properly for the next 8/9 months. Fitbit have been emailing me various things to try but nothing's worked and they've gone silent. I suspect they've run out of ideas.

Other than that, it's been ideal for my needs. I just recommend buying from somewhere that will give you a 2 year warranty and keeping the receipt SAFE! If nothing else, the band is likely to break within a year (but these are cheap to replace).

Thanks Fate. Have gone for the Versa and still use my watches. Will definitely try and use it to monitor sleep. Pick it up tomorrow.

Domestic how annoying you are faving issues. Bought via John Lewis who offer 2 yr warranty. Really looking forward to using it.

I came on to post this exact question @Londongirl888 🙈 I had decided to buy the charge 3 but then saw the Versa on the site too & the price seems to have come down a good bit. The only thing though for me is I have a tiny wrist -the only part of me that's tiny😏 and I don't know if it would look too big on?

I have a versa and it looks fine on my small wrists. It's comfortable to wear at night and I use the silent alarms to wake me up. I previously had an Alta which I wore with a watch on my other wrist but I don't think that would work with a versa, it looks too much like a watch.

Onynx. Ha exactly the same I was all for the charge 3 but the Versa is a good deal pick mine up tonight. I also have small wrists but am sure it will look fine and I am over if it looks odd or not just want to use the functions. 
From Eden Thanks will use the silent alarm and flag to know it is comfortable to sleep in.
