You still get over six days of battery life but, now, a hurried 12-minute charge can keep you going for a full day should you need it. Like the new Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Versa 3 offers faster charging – using the same magnetic charger, in fact. Instead, the connection is achieved via Bluetooth, reducing the range quite a bit. The Versa 3 isn’t LTE though so you won’t be taking calls without your phone around. Nevertheless, the feature is here on Fitbit Versa 3 – with a dedicated microphone and speaker for when you can’t be bothered with taking your phone out. Due to the inability of these little devices to offer a decent speaker, it’s often a feature that seems a bit unnecessary. Take calls on your wrist, if you really want toĪ feature that some modern smartwatches sport is the ability to take calls on your wrist.

It feels like Fitbit knows fans will be disappointed here, with them stressing you can still control online Spotify playback from your Versa 3 – but, it’s not really the same. There’s support for Pandora and Deezer but that’s your lot. Well, there’s bad news for fans of that particular music service – offline playback for Spotify is still nowhere to be seen on Fitbit Versa 3. The absence of GPS was one of the big disappointments for Versa 2 but, another letdown was the lack of offline support for Spotify.
