Fitbit’s first smartwatch had its fair share of issues, including a large size, which made it unwieldy for many wrists. That fact no doubt automatically excluded the product from a big chunk of its potential user base, including a lot of women. Fitbit’s hardly alone among wearable makers in that oversight, of course, but the issue certainly stood out for a company whose products are aimed at a mainstream appeal. 

The Versa, thankfully, addresses the issue, with a considerably smaller footprint. The company’s new “smartwatch for all” also takes things a step further with the addition women’s health tracking, which adds menstrual cycle logging to the device’s healthcare tracking. The feature also offers cycle predictions, which improve over time, educational content and the ability to connect with other users through the Community feature.
