A new Sleep Score feature launched around the same time as Versa 2, and so far it seems accurate. Speaking of bedtime, Fitbit's sleep-tracking tool continues to use the heart rate monitor to detect how deeply you're resting. I usually don't like wearing a watch to sleep, but I barely felt the Versa 2 on my wrist at all as I plunged deep into lalaland during an exhausting week covering the tradeshow IFA. Fitbit tweaked the sensor hub on the underside to make it softer against the skin. I'm a fan of the rose gold case, though I wish the strap were a little slimmer. Like the original Versa and the Versa Lite before it, this new watch has a comfortable, lightweight design that looks and feels classy. I generally had no issue seeing the time and my notifications, even under direct sunlight.

The deeper blacks translate to sharper contrast, especially for brightly colored words and graphics. The good news is, the Versa 2 finally has an AMOLED panel that makes outdoor viewability easier. While Fitbit has an advantage over the competition thanks to years of experience in the fitness wearable space, it's also historically lagged its rivals on screen technology and software.
