Looking at the Fitbit Sense 2, there’s a clear visual difference in the hardware. It’s not quite as comfortable as the default band on the Google Pixel Watch, but I like it, and after over two weeks of near-24/7 use, it hasn’t resulted in skin irritation. The included band is the same silicone option as was available on the Sense and Versa 3, and similar to what most smartwatches ship with nowadays. It’s probably just a quirk, but it might be something to keep in mind. That said, I did quickly notice that the third-party bands I was using with the Versa 3 wouldn’t connect to either the Sense 2 or Versa 4. It fits in well both in sporty and dressy situations, and Fitbit’s band mechanism makes it easy to switch between the right band for those scenarios. This time around is also even thinner than the previous generation. The relatively slim metal-bodied squircle shape is a good look on the whole. The Apple Watch only manages 18 hours, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 gets around up to 2 1/2 days depending on workouts and display settings.The Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4 are the first smartwatches released since Google took over, and while there’s still a lot to love, these smartwatches are major downgrades from their predecessors that are hindered by a focus on the Pixel Watch.įrom a hardware perspective, the Fitbit Sense 2 and Fitbit Versa 4 are virtually identical to their predecessors. However, by smartwatch standards, that’s pretty good. It touts 4 to 5 days for general use, and about 2 days if you use its always-on display feature. Winner: Fitbit Charge 4 Fitbit Versa 2 vs Fitbit Charge 4: Battery lifeĬompared to other fitness trackers, the Fitbit Versa 2’s battery life is fairly standard. You’ll also need to start workouts from your watch if you want to see your metrics on the screen in real-time. The Versa 2, rather requires your phone for guided workouts. There is a more deciding difference between the Versa 2 and Charge 4, though - only the Charge 4 offers on-board GPS, meaning you can leave your phone at home when you go on a run and still track things like your route or pace.
