Fitbit versa 3 is a fitness tracker that falls under the category of wearables. The Versa 3 version is based on Fitbit operating system 5.0. The latest version of Fitbit operating system has in-built support for a speaker and a microphone as a way to be compatible with voice assistant apps, namely, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Speakers also allow you to interact with the voice assistant for a variety of practical tasks such as replying to messages, setting alarms, bringing up weather status, and a whole lot of features possible on Alexa on Google Assistant.
However, do note, that you will still be unable to answer calls through a Versa 3 watch, until you have the Fitbit OS 5.1 or higher. The current firmware version for the Versa 3 smart watch is 5.2.1.
