Smartwatches represent a new generation of technology: With these small, digital all-rounders, you can read your e-mails and text messages, log your health data or make phone calls. But that’ just the beginning: these watches can detect when their owner falls and call for help in an emergency. At the same time, they also look chic.
Available in a slim, minimalist round design or as an angular variant, smartwatches are a handy companion during sports, at work or during leisure time. These electronic wristwatches monitor sleep, serve as a navigation system and are capable of playing music. They are usually linked to a smartphone and must be compatible with its operating system. The performance spectrum is far greater than that of an analog watch from classic watch manufacturers.

The third generation Fitbit Versa watch offers a sophisticated evolution and a big leap in the form of an additional GPS receiver. Featuring support for FitBit Pay payments, the ability to install apps and watch faces, an OLED display, and an overall design that brings the watch closer to the Garmin Venu Sq. The Versa is slightly more expensive, less sporty, and the battery lasts a third less, but this is the price you pay for “smartness.”
The strength of the watch is its style. Its materials are more valuable, the design is more elegant, there are beautiful color options to choose from, and if you add a woven band, the Versa 3 takes a big leap.
