Fitbit announces the Versa 2, its latest Apple Watch competitor. It has a better display than earlier models, longer battery life than the Apple Watch and costs $199.95.
Two special edition models with unique bands and access to Fitbit Premium will cost $229.95, the company said Wednesday.
The Fitbit Versa 2 has a few upgrades over the original Versa. It's has a more powerful processor, which means apps and data load quicker. Also, it offers up to five days of battery life, which is a lot longer than the two or so days you can expect from an Apple Watch. And unlike the Apple Watch, the Versa 2 can track sleep, with a new "sleep score" that averages the data it collects while you snooze and tells you how well you slept.
Other features include water resistance up to 50 meters, support for using the Versa 2 for making payments, GPS, 15+ exercise modes, female health tracking, on-device workouts and 24/7 heart-rate tracking.
