Product Review

Fitbit Versa 2 is a Fitbit with sleep tracker. It is the most accurate sleep tracking watch that you will find in the market. For the purpose on this guide we have gone through many sleep tracking watches and none are more reliable than the Fitbit Versa 2.

In my opinion and recommendations Fitbit Versa 2 is the holy grail of activity tracking and it is the best sleep tracker watch out there.

The watch is very awesome. It has smart track system which means it automatically goes into running mode if you start running and will start monitoring your calories, heart rate, step and many more fitness variables.

The sleep tracking system in the watch is so active that it just jump into sleep mode as you go to bed and start tracking sleep activities like; time slept, how many time you woke up, and duration you were in deep, light or REM sleep (1). It is important to note that Fitbit Versa 2 uses heart rate and movement to determine the stages of sleep i.e. deep, light or REM sleep.

One of the things that annoyed me the most about this watch is that it had connected GPS. Connected GPS is not a GPS.

Connected GPS allows the watch to connect with your phone via Bluetooth to track your position. It is sort of annoying if you go for running, cycling, hiking or boating where you need GPS tracking so, you will need your phone as the watch will be getting GPS data from the smart phone.

As a smart watch Fitbit Versa 2 can do things like, notifications pop ups, setting alarms, timers, calendar, quick replies, voice replies for android users.

Fitbit Versa 2 also have music storage and can store up to 300 songs. It allows you to control Spotify app, download Pandora stations and add Deezer playlists plus store.

Most compelling feature of Fitbit Versa 2 is the Amazon Alexa voice assistant. It can be considered that the selling point of this smart watch over any other Fitbit band and watches.

However, it doesn’t have a build in speaker which mean that you can tell Amazon Alexa to set alarms, timer or check weather but Alexa cannot read a message or play some music for you.  To activate Amazon Alexa, you have to hold down the physical button on the watch.

The Fitbit Versa 2 has an always on 1.4-inch OLED display that is pretty bright and seeable in sunlight.

As for the battery life the watch can give you up to 4 plus days of battery time upon moderate usage.

Now let’s get to the Fitbit mobile application. The app is very good and responsive it can display detailed graphs that are backed up with the sleep data that the watch had been monitoring throughout the night.

After waking up it gives you a sleep score so that you get to know how well you have slept. It also has smart wake that will gently wake you up with in half an hour of the wake-up time.

You can also see graphs and rating on weekly or monthly basis to analyze your sleep pattern and behaviors.

It can also help you stick to a particular sleep routine by setting reminders this thing can actually help sleep deprived people to get back on track.

The Fitbit Versa 2 is available in 6 colors Black, Copper Rose, Navy & Pink Woven, Copper Rose, Mist Gray, and Stone Gray.

Best For

What is a Sleep Tracker?

Sleep trackers are devices that are built to monitor and assess data that shows your sleep habits. It is a very useful device if you want to track the sleep stages, patterns, duration, and quality.

The data taken by sleep trackers are not direct, they usually reply on heart rate and breathing patterns to distinguish between different sleep stages. To get more precise sleep data you can take a sleep test. The data of such tests are derived from rather complex brain activities and movement of eyes.

Almost all sleep trackers have a heart rate monitor as the main sensor. These sensors give a decent accuracy in identifying sleep stages. Some of the advanced sleep trackers also monitor respiratory rates that are very good for identifying breathing issues like sleep apnea and snoring. Some sleep trackers have movement detecting systems built in that are used to tell how much you moved while sleeping.

Some sleep trackers also have microphones to detect snoring. They monitor noise waves and surrounding noises to build an opinion about how you are sleeping. There are also some sleep trackers having thermometers in them. They monitor how hot or cold you are feeling while sleeping so that they can provide data on how your room temperature is affecting the quality of your sleep.

Wearable and non-wearable sleep trackers are the two most popular types of sleep trackers. However, they both do give similar accuracy but use different methods for collecting data. As a wearable sleep tracker touches your wrist, it can track movement, breathing, and heart rate with better precision. The most non-wearable sleep trackers available are under the bed sleep trackers. They are placed under the mattress and monitor vibrations to gather data about sleep. Depending on the quality both types are capable of giving valuable insights on sleep.

Sleep data collection is just one use of sleep trackers, the other being processing sleep data to provide valuable suggestions to improve sleep quality. The sleep trackers process data through data sets to displays it on a dedicated mobile application. These apps help users to review the sleep history, to see how they have slept and how they can improve.

Smart Watches comes with many additional functionalities that include push notifications, alerts, and mobile app compatibility. Fitbit versa 2 is the best sleeping tracking smartwatch with Amazon Alexa Built-in. Wrist band sleeps trackers most of the time lack the amount of detailing and functionalities in comparison to the dedicated sleep trackers. However, they are more practical. The most popular sleep tracking band online is the Fitbit Inspire HR.

Sleep Tracking Rings

One of the most fascinating sleep tracking technology is the rings with a built-in sleep tracker. It is amazing how sensors that monitor sleep are embedded in such a small form factor. Sleep tracking rings are wearable sleep trackers that collect sleep data as you wear it while sleeping. Motiv rings are the most advanced sleep tracking ring that can not only monitors sleep but it can also detect health and fitness activities

More Wearable Sleep Trackers

However, there is also some innovative news design that works great in terms of overall comfort and functionality. Such designs include headbands and eye mask sleep trackers, few of them are more advance and monitor brain activities, eye movement to distinguish between sleep stages.

Under the Mattress Sleep Trackers

Under the mattress, sleep trackers are sometimes called under the bed sleep trackers. They are the most popular non-wearable sleep trackers that you can buy. Most of them use body movement or vibrations to capture sleep data. There form factor is very thin and is the best option for people who want to avoid wearing a device while sleeping. Almost all under-mattress sleep trackers can be used with any of the mattresses in the market except for big, bulky waterbeds.

Smart Mattresses With Sleep Tracker

These are the most advanced option as smart mattress sleep trackers, not only track sleep, such advanced beds provide functionalities that help optimize sleep by providing necessary comfort, customizable firmness, and temperature control system. 

What does Sleep Trackers Monitor?

There are several high-end sleep trackers that you can get. New sleep tracking devices are launched on frequent basis.

Each sleep tracker has a different set of functions that they monitor to give understandable information about sleep.

Some of the most common functions that sleep trackers monitor are:

• Duration of sleep: The most common function that all sleep trackers monitor is the total time you were sleeping. The device records the time when one falls asleep till the time when one wakeup in the morning.
• Quality of sleep: You can sleep 7 to 8 hours but still feel fatigue. The reason being; interruptions during sleep, and discomfort. The sleep tracker also monitors the number of times and the total duration when you were awake during the sleep time.
• Different Sleep Phases: Sometimes sleep phases are also addressed as sleep cycles. Tracking sleep phases are one of the most advanced features that a sleep tracker can offer. This function allows the sleep tracker to assess when the sleeper is in light sleep or deep sleep.
• Surrounding Factors: Some dedicated sleep trackers monitor surrounding factors as well. They use highly sensitive sensors to detect the amount of light and temperature of the bedroom to give recommendation on how to improve the room environment that encourage sleep.
• Routine activities: Some sleep trackers allow sleepers to enter lifestyle factors that can affect sleep. They ask for caffeine intake, time of dinner, stress levels so to provide customized plans on how to improve sleep.

Things to Consider Before Choosing a Sleep Tracker

There are many sleep trackers available online, each with its set of features and benefits. Selecting the best sleep tracker will mainly depend on the personal needs, intent, preferences that you have. By giving importance to certain criteria can make it easier to choose the perfect sleep tracker.

Here are some top set of features that you should keep in mind before choosing a sleep tracker. However, the factors mentioned are with a general perspective and some can be of less priority for you. Knowing what you want in a sleep tracker will help you make a better buying decision.

Sleep Tracking Features: 

The most important feature of a sleep tracker is the technology that they use for tracking sleep. A high-end sleep tracker captures several data variables like heart rate, body temperature, respiratory patterns, total time sleeping, total time awake, sleep interruption throughout the night.

Some sleep trackers go the extra mile to monitor light, room temperature, noise level, and humidity. Different sleep trackers will give you different sleep results depending on the sleep factors that they monitor. We high-encourage people to go through the full specifications of each sleep tracker and find the tracker that collects data based on the factors that they prefer.

Analyzing Sleep Data: 

The best sleep trackers out there; track sleep data and analyze that data by applying the set of algorithms. These algorithms dive deeper into your sleep habits so to provide detailed information along with recommendations on how to improve your sleep hygiene.

Most of the sleep trackers show sleep data in the form of charts, graphs, and tables on a dedicated mobile app. These charts and tables show how your sleep patterns have changed with time, and also provide a daily sleep score. In terms of analysis wearable sleep trackers are a better option as they not only track sleep but also other activities like; steps, calories burned, and many more.

Value Provided:

Sleep tracker has much more to offer, not just price. The overall value you get out of a sleep tracker depends on how it affects your life. If a high-end sleep tracker gives important insights on your sleep activities that eventually help in achieving better sleep hygiene then it is far better than an affordable sleep tracker that gives non-actionable information.

While choosing a sleep tracker it is important to see that whether the sleep tracker comes with a one-time payment or a reoccurring monthly cost. Most of the sleep trackers come with a dedicated free mobile app so you pay for the sleep tracker one time and use it with no reoccurring cost. Some highly advanced sleep trackers charge a monthly subscription fee that will cost more if you are planning to use it in long run.

Set Smart Alarm:

Most sleep trackers have smart alarms that enable users to set a time window in which they need to wake up. It plays quite an active role as it is easy to wake up from light sleep as compared to deep sleep.

This function tracks and analyzes sleep data to see that when you are sleeping lightly so that the sleep tracker can wake you up at the right time. Sleep tracking watches and bands also have a silent alert that vibrates on your wrist rather than playing loud noises. This feature is best for couples who want to wake up at different times.

Comfort Offered:

Getting a night of good sleep is closely related to comfort. Having a wearable sleep tracker that is too tight on the wrist or too big may not be a good option as far as comfort is concerned. Wearable sleep trackers come in different sizes with different materials used in making their wrist straps. It is important to see whether the sleep tracker is neither too tight nor it is too big. One more thing to consider is what type of wrist straps they are using, the most comfortable wrist straps are the ones that are made from rubber. If you want a small-size wearable sleep tracker, a sleep tracking band can be a good option.

Non-wearable sleep trackers are mostly under the mattress sleep tracker and they are too thin, as you may not even notice them under the mattress. Although we encourage you to check the dimensions of under the bed sleep trackers to find the best option.

Battery Life And Consumption:

Some of the sleep trackers are usually activity trackers that have the feature of tracking sleep. All these high-end activity trackers have decent battery life. So, if you are using the sleep tracker just for sleep monitoring then battery life may not be that much of a concern. However, if you are planning to use the activity tracker for monitoring activities around the clock then it is best to assess how long the battery lasts between charges. In general, a decent activity tracking watch or band can easily last a couple of days upon extensive use.

Dedicated sleep trackers that are solely designed to monitor sleep are designed to last at least a full night before recharge. Buyers should also know those bedside sleep trackers or under the mattress sleep trackers use an external power socket plugged in throughout the night.

Mobile App And Device Compatibility:
