Got your eye on a brand new Fitbit Versa 2 but want to learn a little bit more about its two editions before making a choice? You’re in good company.

If you’re anything like us, then we’re sure that you’ll agree with us when we say that, before making any investment purchase, it’s important to make sure that you’re doing your research, especially when it comes to smartwatches!

A true bestseller, the Fitbit Versa 2 has been a smash hit since its arrival on the market back in 2019, and comes with a variety of innovative features that set it apart from competing watches, including an Amazon Alexa Voice built-in and impressively long battery life.

The Fitbit Versa 2 also offers sleep tracking, fitness monitoring, heart rate tracking and plenty more (see also ‘How Does A Fitbit Track Sleep?‘).

However, seeing as the Fitbit 2 Versa is available to buy in two different models: the Fitbit Versa 2 Standard Edition and the Fitbit Versa 2 Special Edition, it can be difficult for many to decide upon which edition is the better option for them – but this is where we come in to lend you a helping hand.

If you’re currently in the market to treat yourself to a new smartwatch and you’re on the fence about whether or not to purchase the standard edition or the special edition, then rest assured that you’ve clicked on the right article!

Below, we’re going to be talking you through both, so you can decide which one is the best fit for you (get it?) read on!

Fitbit Versa 2 Special Edition Vs Standard Edition: Main Similarities

Even though we’ve listed the specifications above, we still think that it would be a good idea to talk you through the main similarities between the two Fitbit Versa 2 editions, so that you can understand what to expect from them. Check out the main similarities below:

• Fitness tracking: Both editions offer fitness tracking features, including a heart rate monitor, steps counter, built-in workouts, and much more.
• Design: Both editions have a near-identical design, apart from the additional woven strap seen in the special edition.
• Smart features: Alongside a similar design, both editions offer an array of innovative smart features that will be at your disposal as soon as you switch your chosen model on. These include the following standouts: a built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant, NFC so you can make contactless payments, and the ability to reply to text messages. 
• Battery life: One of the biggest similarities between the two editions is the battery life offered. Both the special and the standard offer a battery life (when charged to full capacity) of around one week. 

Fitbit Versa 2 Special Edition Vs Standard Edition: Main Differences

So, after taking the time to read through the main specifications above, it can be easy to think that they’re more or less the same, right?

Well, even though there are many similarities between the two editions of the Fitbit Versa 2, the main difference between the special edition and the standard edition is that the Fitbit Versa 2 Special Edition comes with a woven strap, while the standard Fitbit Versa 2 does not.

At the time of writing this review, the additional woven strap is the only main difference between the two types of Fitbit Versa. Apart from that one difference, both editions of the Fitbit Versa 2 are completely the same as one another.

However, they are placed at slightly different price points, which leads many people to wonder whether or not it’s worth spending the extra money to buy the special edition or not. 

If you’re currently split between both editions of the Fitbit Versa 2 and you’re not entirely sure of which one to buy, then it’s important to think about whether or not you’d like the luxury of having an additional wrist strap to wear from time to time.

Unlike the standard edition which only comes with the option of picking one wrist strap, the Fitbit Versa 2 special edition will also come with the option of wearing a jacquard woven band, which offers a more laid back and casual fit as opposed to the standard silicone strap seen in both.

Wrapping Up

So, there we have it! You made it to the end of this article.

After taking the time to read this all the way through, we’re hoping that you now have a much greater understanding of the difference between the Fitbit Versa 2 Special Edition and the Fitbit Versa 2 Standard Edition, as well as have a much clearer idea of which one is going to be best for you. 

As you will have seen from our breakdown above, the two types of Fitbit Versa 2 are more or less exactly the same, with the only main difference being the additional jacquard strap that comes with the special edition.

Aside from that, no matter which edition you pick you’re going to be getting the exact same device and experience – regardless of whether you decide to opt for the Fitbit Versa 2 Special Edition or the Fitbit Versa 2 Standard Edition.

However, if you would like the convenience of being able to swap your wrist straps from silicone to woven from time to time, then you might find that the special edition is worth paying the extra money for. Thanks for reading, and happy shopping!
