While Fitbit hasn’t highlighted how durable the glass is, it’s truly impressive how scratch and break resistant it is. One thing I have to give the Fitbit Versa 3’s screen credit for is its build. However, it is a bit of an annoyance, especially because you can’t really completely avoid using it. This is far from a deal-breaker since you don’t always have to interact with the button. Occasionally, it wouldn’t respond at all. There were times when it would respond beautifully at a light press, and there were times when I had to give it a bit more force. In fact, using this button felt like the luck of the draw. Not only did it prove a little hard to find during the first few days of testing, but it also wasn’t always responsive when pressed. Pressing it had been a hit or miss affair during my testing. Sadly, the execution could have been better. The chassis looks sleeker and cleaner without a button sticking out of it, and that haptic feedback is definitely elegant. This new button, which first appeared on the Fitbit Charge 3, is a capacitive button that delivers haptic feedback to signal that it’s been pressed. Instead of the traditional raised button, the company has swapped it out for a recessed one just below the lip of the case. Even with the display set to Always-On and the Screen Wake to “Motion & button,” there were times when it didn’t wake when I turned my wrist, forcing me to press the button instead.įitbit is using the word “button” loosely here. Unfortunately, there were moments during my testing when I had to swipe a couple of times to bring up menus or go to a different page. The screen on the Fitbit Versa 3 is responsive and accurate most of the time and navigating through the menus is easy. I only wish that its touch and always-on functions were better implemented. It’s one of the several features “inherited” from the Fitbit Sense. The 1.34-inch 300 x 300 OLED display on the Versa 2 pales in comparison, as you’re not only getting more screen real estate but also better image quality. This 1.58-inch 336 x 336 AMOLED color touchscreen is an excellent update sleeker and softer around the edges with a bright, crisp and vibrant display that has terrific viewing angles. Those upgrading from a previous generation Versa will appreciate the new display on the Fitbit Versa 3. (Image credit: Michelle Rae Uy) Fitbit Versa 3 review: screen and design
