The launch also comes as Google is preparing to release the Pixel Watch later this year, which the company teased in May. Fitbit is giving away a free six-month membership with the Versa 4 and its other newly announced products. Similar to other Fitbit products, you'll also need a Fitbit Premium subscription to unlock in-depth tracking and advanced features on the Versa 4. Fitbit says Google Wallet and Google Maps will be coming to the Versa 4 and Sense 2 "soon," but the company hasn't specified when. That should tie Fitbit's smartwatches more closely to Google's ecosystem of apps and services, although Fitbit Pay will still be available, too. Like the Versa 3, the Versa 4 also lacks the ability to take an electrocardiogram from the wrist like the Sense and Sense 2.įor the most part, the Versa 4 offers the same smartwatch functionality as the Versa 3 as well, except it will support Google Wallet and Google Maps.
Instead, the Fitbit Versa 4 just provides a general Stress Management Score based on heart rate data, heart rate variability, sleep and physical activity to assess how your body might be handling stress.
But unlike the more expensive Sense 2, the Versa 4 doesn't measure electrodermal activity changes to detect when your body is showing signs of stress. That means you'll be able to do things like check your heart rate, track active zone minutes during workouts, monitor blood oxygen levels, log your sleep, see a sleep score that evaluates the quality of your slumber and track runs directly from the watch with integrated GPS, just like on the Versa 3.īut the Versa 4 can track up to 40 different types of workouts, including new choices such as CrossFit, dance, skiing and HIIT, while the Versa 3 only has about 20 options. The Versa 4 has the same six-day battery life and selection of health-oriented features as the Versa 3. The Fitbit Versa 4 will also continue to work with both the iPhone and Android phones, even as Google continues investment into Wear OS 3 for the upcoming Pixel Watch and on Samsung's Galaxy Watch 5. Fitbit's interface is also getting a new look with a tiles that sum up metrics, which should make the software appear more streamlined. Fitbit says the new watch is slimmer than the previous model, and it's bringing back the physical side button for smoother navigation.
The biggest changes are more focused on design and ease-of-use rather than introducing new features. The Versa 4 is a moderate upgrade to the Versa 3.
