With a built-in GPS, the Versa 3 is a big step up from the Versa and Versa 2. Fitness fans will love it. With the ability to take calls on the wrist, Fitbit is catching up to the Apple Watch. I like it even more than the Versa 4. The Fitbit Versa 3 is a good all-around smartwatch at its core. If you want to track your overall health, see notifications, and do simple tasks without touching your phone, the Versa 3 can do all of that and more. But the Versa 3 isn’t “the best” Fitbit has to offer.

Where to get Fitbit Versa 3 Smartwatch?
From this point of view, there are two ways to look at the Fitbit Versa 3. The first is pretty clear: it looks like a shortened Fitbit Sense. It looks like the Sense, but it doesn’t have some of the Sense’s best features, like the ECG monitoring that got a lot of attention.
The Fitbit Versa 3 has the same squircle shape as the first two Versa models. However, its edges are a little bit softer, and where the Fitbit Versa 2 had a physical button, it now has a touch area with haptic feedback. I haven’t tried a Fitbit with this feature yet, so it took me a while to get used to it, but I eventually liked it better than a button.
Fitbit’s main business is tracking activity, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Versa 3 is a good health buddy. It has all the features you’d expect from a fitness tracking expert, like heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, VO2 max readings, workout tracking, and sleep tracking.
Fitbit also does a great job with battery life, much better than Apple or Samsung. Like the Versa 2, the Versa 3 can last up to 6 days on a full charge if the screen brightness is set to normal and the GPS is used no more than twice or three times a week. But the more you use the GPS, the faster the battery dies. For 30 minutes of GPS use, we measured an 8% drop in battery life.
