The real improvement the Versa 4 offers is the 20 new exercise modes, allowing users to track the likes of HIIT, dancing and CrossFit workouts.
Not much has changed on the tracking front, with the same array of sensors and tracked metrics being registered from both devices. With the band mechanism still the same, too, it makes it easy for those willing to upgrade.
And that's no bad thing - we think the look of the Versa is strong. It's a much nicer experience than what's offered in the Versa 3, which instead has a capacitive groove, and is located a little bit further down the side of the case.Īside from this, and the fact the Versa 4 is slightly thinner, there's not really much to speak of. Though this pair looks very similar at first glance, the newer model has had the side button reintroduced, making navigation around the device much simpler. Though the app situation is certainly a reason to avoid the Versa 4, the minimal design changes Fitbit and Google have made are most welcome. We would also note that both are frequently heavily discounted, so finding them cheaper than the above rate isn't too difficult.Īt the RRP, the Versa 3 offers undoubtedly better value, but neither sits in what we would describe as anything more than decent value for money, particularly with the Fitbit Premium subscription required to get the most out of the experience. That means there's a natural price disparity between the pair. The Versa 3 is now over two years old, launching in 2020, whereas the Versa 4 was only released in September. While the third-party app and watch face support on Versa 3 was limited, it was at least present, giving you access to the likes of Strava, Fitbit and more. The Versa 4, however, gives you nothing of the sort.Īside from integration with Google Maps and Google Wallet (but not Google Assistant, strangely, which has been dropped), you're not getting apps or even third-party watch faces on the smartwatch, as the smartwatch doesn't have Wi-Fi support.Īt least at the time of writing, this support is still present for the Versa 3, though it doesn't feature the same integration with Google Maps and Wallet. This is the biggest point of comparison between the Versa 4 and Versa 3, and, as we've highlighted above, will likely sway which is the better fit for your needs.
