Make sure you have the latest version of the fitbit app

When I first got this, it would not maintain sync. I updated the firmware on the watch, tried doing a factory reset twice, uninstalled/reinstalled the fitbit app twice, ensured that the app wasn't allowed to go to sleep when in the background... nothing worked. It would work for a few minutes, then when I tried to command Alexa, it would say connection lost. I decided to contact support, and they informed me that my app was outdated. Come to find out, version 4.04 of the bitbit app is too old, and will not work. The latest version, 4.06.7 had not been released for my phone yet, as is typical ridiculous play store behavior. Google... are you listening? When a developer releases an update, you shall IMMEDIATELY make it available to EVERY device! I manually downloaded the apk and installed it, and everything has been working great since. Alexa follows my direct orders immediately, phone calls come through, texts come through, and I can sync with ease. Overall, I suppose this is an improvement over the Versa 2. Screen is a little bigger, but the notification vibrations don't seem to be as forceful, even when set to strong. This uses google wallet instead of google pay as the Versa 2 did, so my AmEx will not work for contactless payment. Phone call feature is nice, seems to work OK. I can hear them, they can hear me. You can only answer calls, you can't make them. The $50 brand x watch I ordered to replace this one before I got the sync figured out was able to do that. It could also control my camera and music player, neither of which is possible on the Versa 4. Google maps is nice if you walk in unfamiliar areas. I'll probably never need it, but it's nice. Battery life seems to be improved over the Versa 2, but mine was 2 years old so I'm sure the battery had gradually decreased it's charge capacity. I used it for several days, and he battery was still at 55%. Skin temperature sensor will one day be nice when it can sync with a smart thermostat and automatically adjust the temperature as needed. But for now, it's just a novelty and has no purpose. Yes, I know my skin is hot. I woke up in a puddle of sweat. Yup, I'm freezing, so my skin is cold. o2 saturation is nice if you have any relevant health problems. If you want to take full advantage of the watch, get the free "Overview" clock face by Chris Blyth. It gives you current and average heart rate, battery percentage, fully customizable date format, allows for a larger clock that shows seconds, and you can have weather, and 6 other health stats displayed on the main screen, all at once. I have steps, distance, calories burned, active zone minutes, floors, and BMI/BMR. It all fits, and is easy to read. Vast improvement over the default face, which shows no useful information. I had th is face on my versa 2, and loved it. So glad it's available for the 4. Bottom line, it's a good watch. There are cheaper brand x ones out there, but none of them have NFC payment, and not all of them have Alexa. And, you get what you pay for. fit & finish feels cheap, the screens get washed out in the sun, finicky alexa integration and so on. Best to pony up and get a refined product. Be sure to update your fitbit app. Their customer support said the latest version should be released within a week, but I circumvented the beurocracy and downloaded it manually. Why wait?

Elegant and lots of features

I still am exploring it but I liked it so far. I have had it for few days now.. - You can receive phone calls on the watch and have the option to answer or hang up. - You can receive text messages and read them. You can even reply with an emoticon that will pop up on the watch. - You can receive email notifications on your watch, archive them, clear them or open them. - In order to receive calls/texts/e-mails, you need to plug your watch (charge it) and go on your Fitbit App to activate this feature, after clicking on your picture. You also need to ensure in your phone settings, that you have notifications ON for your phone and you will be able to receive all those notifications on your watch. - In order to enjoy the functionality of your watch to its maximum potential, you need to invest time to explore its different features. I find the e-mails I receive from Fitbit very useful to teach how to use. That is how I learnt. Or else, I wouldn't be able to automatically receive the notifications. - GPS: I have not been able to use it yet, but plan on doing so soon. However, when you put Google Maps on your phone (Android), you should be able to receive the notifications (of turn right on X street, keep straight, turn left, etc...) on you watch. Which is cool. - Weather: you can have the weather at your fingertips! It showcases the weather in the area you are in automatically. If you tap on it, it will let you see a forecast of 2 hours at a time, as well as next 2 days! Isn't it cool!? - Heart Rate (when active and when at rest!) Cool feature! - Steps/Miles/Calories/Exercise like any Fitbit - Clock: If you go on the app online, you can actually add up to 5 clock backgrounds! For Free if you click from Fitbit. Otherwise, there are some tier parties that either do for Free, or Charge a minimal fee. It is easy and fast to change and download! - Timers: there are 2 preset timers (5 and 10 minutes), or you can click on the 3 dots and select/customize your timer! When time is up, it will vibrate on your hand and give you the option to end it or repeat it. - Double Click: it gives you options - Press long on the left button: and you can program it on your Fitbit App, to lock to the feature of your liking! I chose the "Find my phone" feature, which is pretty loud and works well! I am sharing a detailed review because I wish I found one similar to explain all the features. If you like my review and find it useful, please click on the thumbs up. Thank you!

Excellent smartwatch

I have had this watch for ages now and its still going strong. As a diabetic, I wanted a watch that would allow me to see my glucose numbers at a glance rather than looking on my phone. I downloaded an app that works well with the Fitbit for this and it really helps me monitor my numbers. The other options such as exercise, steps, heart rate, etc are all really good to and the watch is customizable for your needs. I can also take and send calls, messages, texts, etc so thats very cool and makes me feel all futuristic. I set up my credit card on it as well so I can just put in my pin and tap my watch when paying for something and most of the time it works (I occasionally find a machine that won't accept it but its rare) Its held up well over the past few years with a few minor scratches but it still charges well and stays charged all day long and sometimes several days at a time. I didn't like the silicone band that came with it so I purchased several cloth bands and its a pretty standard size so its not hard to find bands that work with it. I think its a great buy for a smartwatch and looks nice too as its not overly large

I love it!

I got this on a black Friday sale, on a whim. I am pretty picky about jewelry and wearing things on my hands or wrists. The set up was so easy, I have an Google Pixel 9 and it integrated seamlessly with my phone. It is not heavy at all, its really lightweight and it looks so sleek and nice. The fit is a little weird, the face is a bit bulky and I do catch it on my sleeves or shopping bags. Most importantly though, it does accurately measure my heartrate and sleep. It does a great job tracking my workouts and walks. It really does everything I wanted it to do. I also live that I can customize by switching the straps and face protectors.
