In fact, Fitbit has a fancy little slide deck that shows this outlined with plenty of dots to keep everyone clear on all the nuances. To recap, all of the following features are still there. – Two buttons removed (because one-button is the cool kids club) – Fitbit Pay not available (it was only on the even more expensive Fitbit Versa Special Edition) – WiFi removed (given it was used primarily for music transfer) – Music storage/streaming capabilities removed (but it can still control music on your phone) – Swim Lap Counting removed (it’s still waterproof though) – Stairs/Floor Tracking removed (the barometric altimeter was removed) Still, there are a handful of features that were removed from the full Versa to cut the price down on the Versa Lite.

It also retains core features like activity tracking, the optical heart rate sensor, female health tracking, sleep tracking, smartphone notifications, and even Fitbit’s ‘connected GPS’ capabilities. The Versa Lite (above in blue) retains the vast majority of the features of the full Versa (above in black), including the touch screen and the ability to install/download 3rd party apps on it. Once I’ve had time to figure out the full good/bad/ugly after some weeks or so. For a full in-depth review, check back…in a while. This is just a dive into all the details of things. Oh – and before we go too far, note that this is not a review.
