That’s a welcome change since at the moment few bank cards are supported by Fitbit Pay (opens in new tab) in the UK. You can set up on-wrist payment via Fitbit Pay and, in a recent change (opens in new tab), Google Wallet too. The sound isn’t of great quality from the watch’s built-in speaker, but it does allow you to pick up calls you might otherwise miss. Smart FeaturesĪs well as receiving notifications from your choice of apps on your phone, the Versa 4 allows you to take calls on your watch. A fast-charge feature means you can get 24 hours of juice from a 12-minute charge. Battery Lifeįitbit claims the Versa 4 (like the Sense 2) offers a minimum of six days of battery life, which I found accurate. If you’re not that bothered by stress tracking and want a more fitness-focused approach from your watch, then the Versa is certainly the better-value choice. It also offers guided breathing from the Relax app. The Versa 4 doesn’t have these features, although it does track plenty of health metrics, including your skin temperature at night, and provides a daily stress management score. The Sense 2 has sensors to keep tabs on electrodermal activity ( “tiny electrical changes on your skin” (opens in new tab)) and your skin temperature to log physical responses to stress (or its absence), and the Sense 2 offers ways to manage stress, such as mindfulness sessions. So, what’s the difference? While the Versa 4 is focused mainly on fitness, the Sense 2 adds stress management features. Fitbit Versa 4 Vs Fitbit Sense 2Īt first glance the Versa 4 is indistinguishable from the Sense 2, but it costs significantly less. The button also functions as a shortcut to whatever you want – Alexa, Fitbit Pay or your favourite type of exercise. The Versa 4 is slimmer and lighter than the Versa 3 and has one notable improvement: a physical button – hallelujah! Stopping and starting an activity is now much easier, thanks to the button, which on the Versa 3 was a touch panel that caused the Coach team much annoyance.

You can choose from a handful of clock faces, although these can be changed only in the app. The slim profile makes it comfortable to wear and the Versa comes with a silicon band in four colours, although there are other straps available to buy. Like the Sense 2, the Versa 4 has an attractive square 1.58in (40mm) AMOLED display with rounded edges that’s beautifully sharp with vivid colours.
