Fitbit Versa?

Hello! I’m considering getting a Fitbit Versa IF I get the running bug. Has anyone on this forum got one? The reviews are quite mixed on Amazon. I think it’s prettier than many running watches and it can have music? However, not sure I want to pay for ITunes so don’t know how I could copy my own music library from iPad. I don’t have a PC. Any ideas please? I already have a lovely Withings steel step counter watch, so unless I can use it for music it’s probably a waste of money?

The Versa doesn’t have GPS so won’t be very accurate as a running watch.

Most runners I know go for a Garmin forerunner - not too expensive and has everything you need if you get the bug. Check amazon / eBay for deals - you may be able to pick one up for around £60. 😎

The forerunner 35 is quite tempting! Ugly, but I suppose it doesn’t matter if I only use it when running or cycling....
