Now you're free to pay on the go with your eligible Fitbit Pay-enabled smartwatch or tracker. Having contactless payments has been such a liberating feature for me on long hikes and runs, or when I don't want to be touching surfaces. I've been using Fitbit Pay on my trackers since I got my Charge 3 a few years ago, and I use it regularly with my new Versa 3. The feature is also on the Charge 4, and I hope that Fitbit can add it to some of its other best fitness trackers like the Inspire 2.

Financial freedom

As I mentioned, my Fitbit of choice right now is the versatile Versa 3. It's definitely a fitness smartwatch that I feel comfortable recommending to friends and family.
