There’s also the addition of Amazon Alexa…but to be totally honest, I don’t trust her. It’s way easier to skip a song on a watch when you’re running to catch a train. (You just have to be connected to your iPhone through Bluetooth.) This is obviously super helpful for exercising, but I also love to use it during my morning commute. The last Fitbit Versa model did not have the option to store music, but the new one gives you access to apps like Spotify and Pandora, which is a major upgrade. And I have literally never felt more accomplished than I did after a week of getting “good” scores every night. Overall, Fitbit assigns you a Sleep Score. If you pay for Fitbit’s premium subscription ($9.99 monthly, or $79.99 for the entire year), you’ll also see your sleeping heart rate and how much time you spent tossing and turning throughout the night.

When you wake up, you can see how much time you spent in each stage of sleep (awake, REM, light, and deep). The device monitors your heart rate while you snooze.

To use it, I opened up the Fitbit app while I was in bed and tapped Begin Sleep Now in the Today tab. Sleeping is my absolute favorite pastime, so I was super pumped to see that this thing has not only a sleep tracker but also the most genius alarm system I’ve ever used. LOL.) Luckily, there’s a breathing exercise feature on the watch that helps you take deep breaths until you’ve calmed down a bit, and you can bet I use it at least twice a week. (Like, um…after sending a passive-aggressive professional email.

I’ve never tracked my heart rate before (like, in any way), so it was pretty wild to watch my heart rate spike during my everyday life.
