However, the classic Fitbit OS interface has been redesigned to bring it in closer alignment with Google’s new house style.įlicking left and right takes you between widget-like screens for each of the Fitbit Versa 4’s core features. The Fitbit Versa 4 does not get WearOS, the smartwatch platform of its owner Google.

Limited smarts, but has good notification handling.

Fitbit OS has been reworked to resemble WearOS.

Its screen border is far, far larger than the Apple Watch Series 8’s, but this is not too hard to forgive when the watch is significantly cheaper. The screen is a 336 x 336 pixel OLED just like the Versa 3’s. It weighs 40g all in-strap plus watch face-according to our scales, which is very light for a smartwatch. And that won’t end in catastrophe either, as 50m water resistance is more than enough to withstand a shower, or surface-level swimming. However, it does reach the high comfort watermark that you occasionally forget you’re even wearing the watch at all. I have never been a fan of the “over-under” watch strap style the Fitbit Versa 4 uses, and the Apple Watch for that matter. Still, having a physical button is far preferable to a capacitive one. I initially thought it might even be plastic.

The new button feels a little cheap, perhaps because where the casing has a lovely anodized finish, the button is glossy. There’s nothing much new and exciting to see here, but there is one key difference compared to the last Versa 3 model.įitbit has added a physical button to the Versa 4, where the Versa 3 uses a really quite annoying capacitive panel. It’s a less high-end design than the Apple Watch SE 2, but is clearly more style-driven than the Venu 2 Sq, the closest Garmin alternative. The bezel is aluminum and the rear is plastic. It’s a friendly-looking square-faced watch.

The Fitbit Versa 4 looks very similar to the Versa 3. It looks very similar to the last model.Fitbit Versa 4 review: Design and display
