Fitbit's Versa Lite maintains many of the characteristics that made its predecessor great at a cheaper price, but the competition is heating up.
But that gap in price manifests itself in some noticeable ways. And the Versa Lite's somewhat limited functionality can make it difficult to recommend over Fitbit's less expensive bands like the $149.95 Charge 3 and $99.95 Inspire HR.Hollis Johnson/Business Insider
I never thought I'd say this about a device so tiny, but I actually found myself missing the Apple Watch's OLED screen when switching to the Fitbit Versa Lite Edition. Watch faces and notifications just pop more on Apple's display, making it easier and more enjoyable to view information at a glance. However, I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd gladly sacrifice that perk to save more than $200 on a smartwatch purchase.
If you prefer to run outdoors, however, you'll have to take your phone along with you to track your running route and listen to music. The Versa Lite works with your smartphone's GPS sensor to track your location and doesn't include onboard storage for storing music. And unlike the standard Versa and Ionic watches, you also can't take advantage of the Versa Lite's screen to follow guided workouts on your wrist.
Fitbit may have some advantages in health tracking, but the competition is quickly heating up. Samsung's new Galaxy Watch Active, which is roughly $40 more expensive than the Versa Lite, gives users the option to track their blood pressure through a research app it developed with the University of California, San Francisco. Fitbit wearables cannot track blood pressure yet, at all.
