Upping the ante beyond the basics, it supports wireless payments using the Fitbit Pay platform and, we are told, support for Google Play is coming in future too. The Fitbit Versa 4 lets you set alarms and timers, check the weather and receive notifications from any app on your phone. You can’t download extra apps, and some of the more advanced features will only work when connected to your phone over Bluetooth. One thing to take on board is this is not really a smartwatch. The Fitbit Versa 4 has a fairly broad range of features, without offering all that much depth compared to some rivals. It is water resistant to 5ATM/50M, which is good enough to let you rinse the watch under a tap.įitbit does not recommend you wear it in the “hot tub or sauna”, though - one to bear in mind if your gym is a bit more upscale than most. It’s noticeably less sharp than the smaller 360 x 360 pixel screen of the Garmin Venu Sq 2, but that only exhibits as a slight fuzziness to text when you look close, and it’s bright and clear outdoors.Īt around 40g with a strap, the Versa 4 is light enough for 24/7 wear, and there’s no need to take it off in the shower or swimming pool. The screen is just like the Versa 3’s a 1.58-inch 336 x 336 pixel OLED panel. A classic clicky button is an improvement. This ended up being irritating, as touch controls often are. Fitbit’s last-generation watch used a touch panel. The side button is the one obvious positive design change of the Fitbit Versa 4. And that is impressive enough when we’re dealing with a fairly plain, sensible design. While the screen bezel is much larger than the Apple Watch Series 8’s, Fitbit watches have a character of their own. You get the same slightly bulbous but attractive face with curved aluminum sides and 2.5D display glass. The Fitbit Versa 4 looks and feels very similar to the Fitbit Versa 3. We’ll hopefully answer that in this review. If you’re already keen on the idea of owning a Fitbit, one of the things to decide is whether its extra features are worth that money. You’ll pay $229/£199 for a Versa 4, making it $70/£70 less than the Fitbit Sense 2.
Before the Versa 4 they turned up annually. This was two years after the Fitbit Versa 3, and the biggest gap we’ve seen between Versa watches to date.
The Fitbit Versa 4 launched in September 2022 alongside the Fitbit Sense 2. A Versa 4 is a good buy for those who like the style but the trajectory for the best Fitbit watches raises some eyebrows. You can’t use it to play music, which is a big feature hole in a watch like this, and it does not support third-party apps (older high-end Fitbit watches did).
