Agreed. I loved pebble so much. Amazfit Bip is cheap, has really long battery life, always on color screen. It does basic notifications fine. It is definitely less configurable, and it's built in apps suck compared to pebble (eg you have to setup alarms on your phone!) It's also not as programmable, but there are hacks to make new watchfaces so you can do basic stuff. I had a Fitbit versa, and even though I liked the built in apps and how programmable it is, it has a 2 day battery vs like a month, and it kept not handling notifications with my Android. I really wish my pebble just worked still, though. It was the perfect balance of battery life and configurability.

Yeah, my Pebble Time Steel, 10 day of battery time, always on screen, shows me a map and/or directions while biking, allows me to answer calls and control volume/play-pause on the phone and Sonos at home, indicates the next train home, allowed me to set alarms and was a comprehensive stopwatch. Allowed for standard answers to any notification, allows me to filter for only important things to come through... It was the pinnacle of smart watches. Now all I see is trackers. I don't understand where Casio is in all this, give me a G-shock with notifications... I'd be very happy with it, even with just a monochrome screen.

(I work for but don't speak for Fitbit).

If your Versa is still under warranty, get it replaced. Even when the first Versa came out almost 2 years ago, battery life was 4+ days. If you're seeing a 2 day battery life either you're running something unusually battery-hungry on it or you have a defective unit.
