The Versa 3 is particularly a good option for athletes, as the watch has built-in GPS and provides real-time feedback on your pace and distance, so you can leave your phone at home. With GPS, Alexa and Google Assistant, and music playback, it has excellent functionality at a more affordable price than the more high tech Fitbit Sense.

The Fitbit Versa 3 is the best overall smartwatch, as it offers a good compromise between price and features.

Cons: doesn’t offer stress tracking, electrocardiogram (ECG) app, or temperature monitoring.

Pros: built-in GPS, Alexa and Google assistant, tracks health metrics over time.

Of those devices, Fitbit still (curiously) sells the Versa 2 for $149.95. The apps were supported on the Ionic (recalled), Sense, Versa, Versa 2, and Versa 3. A support article on the web confirms the end of March date, while help pages for those two streaming services have been removed.įollowing last year’s removal of the ability to transfer playlists to your watch from your computer, Deezer and Pandora became the only way to listen to music. In an email today, Fitbit informed users of Pandora and Deezer that the two apps “will be removed as of March 31, 2023.” As a result, “you will no longer be able to download Pandora stations or add Deezer playlists to your device, nor will you be able to play anything that you have previously downloaded.”įitbit does not provide an explanation for this “deactivation,” and just says it’s “sorry for any inconvenience!” - yes, with an exclamation mark.

Fitbit is now set to remove Pandora and Deezer from the Fitbit Sense, Versa 3, and other older devices in March. Compared to its predecessors, the Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4 already lack music playback.
