Great battery plus strong health and sleep tracking in a light design, but subscription costs and missing music support draw complaints.

What we like about Fitbit Versa 4

  • Return of a physical side button for easier navigation than the previous capacitive sensor
  • Excellent battery life, typically lasting 6+ days on a single charge
  • Slim, lightweight, and highly comfortable design for 24/7 wear and sleep tracking
  • Bright and vibrant AMOLED display that remains legible in direct sunlight
  • Expanded fitness options with over 40 exercise modes and reliable automatic workout detection
  • Top-tier sleep tracking and wellness metrics, including overnight skin temperature variation

What we don't like about Fitbit Versa 4

  • Removal of third-party app support, leaving only basic pre-installed Fitbit apps
  • No internal music storage or ability to control music playing on a smartphone
  • Inaccurate heart rate monitoring during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or intense cardio
  • Slow and sometimes unreliable built-in GPS that can take a long time to connect
  • Loss of Google Assistant support, with Amazon Alexa being the only voice assistant option
  • Many detailed health insights and features are locked behind the paid Fitbit Premium subscription
  • Limited smart features for iPhone users, such as the inability to reply to text notifications

Verdict

The Fitbit Versa 4 is a lightweight fitness smartwatch featuring a 1.58-inch AMOLED display with a 336x336 pixel resolution and a slim 11.2mm aluminium case. Key characteristics include built-in GPS, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO2 blood oxygen tracking, 40+ exercise modes, and a 6-day battery life with fast charging (one day of power in 12 minutes). Its main pros are the comfortable, thin design, the return of a physical side button for easier navigation, and seamless integration with Google Maps and Wallet. However, notable cons include the lack of third-party app and music support, inconsistent heart rate accuracy during high-intensity interval training, and the fact that advanced insights like Daily Readiness Scores require a paid Fitbit Premium subscription.
