Aug 28 (Reuters) - Fitbit Inc FIT.N on Wednesday launched
its latest smartwatch, Versa 2, adding Amazon.com's AMZN.O
voice assistant Alexa and online payments in a bid to compete
more strongly with Apple Inc's AAPL.O smartwatch.
Pre-orders for Versa 2, which is $200, will also allow music
storage and be available in stores starting Sept. 15.

Fitbit last month cut its 2019 revenue forecast, blaming
disappointing sales of Versa Lite smartwatches, a cheaper
version that lacked features such as the ability to store music.
