And the slim band creates less sweat and is comfortable to wear. This is a premium leather strap and will last you a long time. These straps are targeted towards women and the pretty floral print adds to their charm. So the only reason to buy the Versa 1 instead of the Versa 2 would be if it were sold at a serious discount and you wouldn't miss Amazon Alexa.Maledan Slim Leather Bands are for you if you don’t want to stick to plain leather straps. We think that the price tag on the Fitbit Vera 1 will continue to decrease, especially after the Fitbit Versa 2 officially launches. Plus, it has a faster processor, longer battery life, and speedy and convenient voice commands with its built-in microphone and Amazon Alexa. You get so much more with it's sleeker and lighter design, and it's AWOLED screen. We think the Fitbit Versa 2 (opens in new tab) is worth the upgrade. You can still track your pace, distance, and routes, but you have to connect to the GPS in your phone, which means you must have your phone on hand if you want to use its GPS features.

The Versa 2 still does not have a built-in GPS system like the Fitbit Ionic (opens in new tab). The one feature we feel Fitbit overlooked with the Versa 2 is the GPS. You can also track your workouts, the calories you burned, and the number of stairs you climbed, and both are swim-proof up to 50 meters. Both feature 24/7 heart rate monitoring and 15+ exercise modes.

The Fitbit Versa 1 and 2 are the same in the extensive health and fitness features they offer, although the Versa 2 is reported to have updated and better sleep monitoring. Note that subscriptions are required and that Pandora operates in the US only. Plus, you can store and play 300+ songs on your wrist. You can control your Spotify app, download Pandora stations, and add Deezer playlists.

The ability to download your favorite apps and play and manage music is the same on both the Fitbit Versa 1 and Fitbit Versa 2. Alternatively, you can use the Fitbit app for Windows 10 on your computer, or use Fitbit Connect to sync with a Mac or Windows 8.1 computer to access your data and take advantage of the many features of your device. To set up or synch the Fitbit Versa 1 & 2, you must have an iPhone or iPad (iOS 11+) or Android phone (iOS 7+), plus the latest version of the Fitbit app. If you have an Android phone, you can also use the mic to reply to texts and notifications (Android only). Perhaps the biggest difference between the Versa 1 and the Versa 2 is the fact that the Versa 2 features a microphone and Amazon Alexa built-in. Fitbit Versa 2 (Image credit: Daniel Bader / iMore)
