Fitbit Versa 3
The Fitbit Versa 3 is without a doubt one of the best budget smartwatches available. It's significantly less expensive than many of the smartwatches in this collection, but it still has a solid set of features. The Fitbit Versa 3's highlights include health tracking, built-in GPS, and even support for a digital voice assistant.
The Fitbit Versa 3 features a square watch face that is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. On the front, there is a 1.58-inch display that is bright, crisp, and easy to see in direct sunlight. It supports the always-on feature and has slimmer bezels for easier viewing. Fitbit also supports third-party watch faces, giving you a plethora of customization options. The Versa 3 also does away with the physical button in favor of an indented haptic side button. It functions exactly like a button, but the haptic feedback is insufficient to replicate the experience of pressing a physical button.
The Versa 3 comes in four different finishes, each with a different color on the case and strap. The watch case is made of aluminum, and the included band is made of a "flexible material." The Versa 3 is water-resistant to 50 meters, so you can wear it while swimming or going to the beach. The Versa 3 works with both Android and iOS devices, just like every other Fitbit tracker.
In terms of sensors, the Fitbit Versa 3 supports continuous heart-rate monitoring and SpO2. This is in addition to the standard tracking metrics such as step count, activity tracking, and so on. The Versa 3 also supports NFC for contactless payments and has a built-in microphone for taking phone calls while wearing it. One of the best features of the Fitbit Versa 3 is the ability to select Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa as your preferred voice assistant.
The Versa 3 can last about a week on a single charge, according to Fitbit. It's also comparable to what the company claims for the Charge 5. What's more impressive is that the Versa 3 can charge for a day in just 12 minutes. It's not the best smartwatch on the market, but it's ideal for those looking for a dependable fitness tracker that also functions as a smartwatch. The Fitbit Sense has more sensors to track more metrics, but the Versa 3 has a good feature set for the price.
