The Fitbit Versa 2 is the American tech brand’s third attempt at a smartwatch. It fixes many of the shortcomings of its previous models, so much so that it is one of the most polished Android smartwatches on the market right now.

Design and hardware
Most Android smartwatches, such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Huawei Watch GT or TicWatch Pro, have design languages that are clearly trying to resemble a traditional timepiece, with a circular body and a bezel.
Fitbit’s Versa 2, instead, more resembles an Apple Watch. It is square with rounded corners – Apple’s is more rectangular – and when the screen is not on, all you see is a black slab. The chassis is constructed of aluminium and feels dense and durable.

The original Versa has a very similar look, but the new one has a 1.4-inch OLED display instead of LCD, and colours look great. There’s only one physical button on the left side of the watch, with most in-watch actions triggered by taps and swipes.
