Fitbit Versa 2 Special vs Standard Edition: What’s The Difference?
Both the Special and Standard edition are the same and offer the same features except for the difference in colors and the presence of additional straps that come with the Special edition. In addition to a classic elastomer strap that comes with both editions, there are also jacquard woven polyester straps (large and small). Moreover, while the Special edition is available in navy & pink/copper rose and smoke woven/mist grey colors, the Standard edition is available in black/carbon case, bordeaux/copper rose, petal/copper rose and stone/mist grey colors.
As a result, the Special edition costs a little more than the Standard edition.
