1. Design


The three members of the Fitbit Versa family all look alike, same sleek and moderate case size that stylish and elegant. The main difference in the design of these three is the presence of one button on the Versa Lite instead of three present on both the Versa and Versa special edition.

Another differentiating factor is the color differences. The Versa comes in three variants; all black band/case, peach color band/rose-gold case and gray band/silver case, while the Versa Special edition comes in two variants; charcoal woven band/graphite case and lavender woven band/rose-gold case. The Versa Lite edition, on the other hand comes in four variants; white band/silver case, lilac band/sliver case, marine blue band/case and mulberry band/case. So, there are plenty of options here to choose from.

Out of the box, you will get two different sizes of bands (large and small) with any of these. However, if you order for the Versa Special edition, you will get one extra woven band (large and small). The Woven band looks quiet adorable and certainly will add the needed touch of class to your outfit.


2. Connectivity


Both the Versa Special edition and Versa standard edition have NFC chip that supports Fitbit Pay mobile payments. However, the NFC chip in the Special edition is only available in the US while that in the Standard edition covers APAC and EMEA countries. There is no NFC chip in the Versa Lite and it also lacks Wi-Fi which is present in both the Special and Standard editions.

3. Memory


In terms of memory storage, both the Versa special and standard edition have support for onboard music storage. There is about 2.5GB ROM available which is able to store over 300 tracks. So you can listen to your favorite tunes on the go while working out or perhaps just recreating. There isn’t that significant onboard storage available on the Versa Lite. So you won’t be able to store files on it.


4. Fitness Tracking

Each of the three members of the Versa family are fitness-focused. Each contains all the necessary sensors in addition to a huge list of fitness tracking features. However, the Versa lite lacks an altimeter which deprives it of the ability to track altitude levels like counting steps climbed.

In addition, while all three are swim-proof, the Versa Lite isn’t able to count swim laps, so it isn’t the best companion for avid swimmers.

Which is the Best Choice For You?

Fitness tracking is at the heart of each of the three members of the Versa family, however, while there are slight differences in the price, the Versa standard edition is no doubt the best choice. The Versa costs less, even though it has almost the same features as the Versa Special edition except that the latter comes with an additional woven band. It’s no doubt the best bargain for someone outside the US.

However, for US residents, the Versa Special edition is the best choice. While it’s slightly costlier than the other two, it’s still a great bargain.

On the other hand, The Versa Lite edition is also a holistic choice. If you on a tight budget, the Versa Lite is a nice alternative to the other Versa versions. A great bargain that qualifies as a perfect choice for beginners.
