If you are specifically a fan of the Fitbit Versa smartwatch series, then you know how great being a Versa user is. Along with features such as Alexa, Spotify, sleep tracking, fitness & health come, and Sleep Tracking. Sleep better, live better, you must have had a great time.
Also, call answering might have been on your to-have list as an in-built feature which did not appear until the Fitbit Versa 3.
