Personally, I’d skip the always-on option for better battery life, but that’s my preference. With the always-on display enabled, the battery drains more quickly - I managed about 2.5 days. In my experience, the Versa 4 can last up to 6 days, but that’s without the always-on display enabled and limited workout/GPS tracking. The Garmin Forerunner 55 blows the Versa 4 away with 2 weeks of battery life, but truly just the best Garmin watches and certain Amazfit watches have the Fitbit’s stamina beat. The Pixel Watch and Apple Watch SE both last about a day, while the Galaxy Watch 5 lasts just over two days. Fitbit rates the Versa 4’s battery life for 6 days, which is the same as the Fitbit Sense 2 and previous Fitbit Versa 3, but still excellent by smartwatch standards. Fitbit Versa 4 review: Battery lifeīattery life could be a reason to get the Fitbit Versa 4 if you don’t feel very strongly about the pros and cons of the watch’s features I detailed above. No word on when exactly these apps will be available, but stay tuned. Fitbit said Google Pay is coming soon to the Versa 4 as an alternative NFC payment option, while Google Maps is also due to arrive for help with directions. I asked Alexa for nearby restaurant recommendations, updates on my Amazon packages and to set reminders.Ĭurrently, the Fitbit Versa 4 can be used for contactless payments with Fitbit Pay, which I was able to set up in the Fitbit app. While it’s weird that the Versa 4 doesn’t also have Google Assistant (the Versa 3 lets you choose either assistant,) Alexa is definitely ample. I’d consider Alexa on-board the “smartest” thing about the Versa 4. Apple Watch SE (2022) despite the price difference. This does bother me a bit since Apple doesn’t put the same wearOS restrictions on the Apple Watch Series 8 vs. These features are apparently now reserved for the Google Pixel Watch with Wear OS.
You can’t download music for offline playback or install any third-party apps on the Versa smartwatch anymore. Fitbit Versa 4 review: Smartwatch featuresįitbit-slash-Google scaled back some of the smart features on Fitbit smartwatches this year. Fitbit will also assign you an animal that illustrates your sleep behavior, so that you might better understand your metrics.
Every month you’ll get a sleep profile, or overview of your sleep habits.
The data collected overnight reflected my understanding of my night, with the watch noticing when I woke up to doom scroll as well as the different stages of my sleep cycle. In fact, the Versa 4 is a great sleep-tracking smartwatch. Luckily, the heart rate reading errors didn’t extend as severely to sleep tracking.
