Your progress in that regard is displayed via the app and Versa 4 watch face, which again, is nothing new to the lineup. Moving on and all the usual suspects are present on the app, such as being able to set daily step, calorie, and active zone minutes targets, along with real-time heart rate monitoring.
We should also point out that we were not directed to any Google-related areas in the app, so the transition to Google accounts on profiles is yet to take full effect for now. The app also remembered our profile and settings based on previous devices we have reviewed, which is handy. This process is fairly standard for smartwatches, and in the whole was a painless process. In terms of pairing, the Fitbit app is still required (available on iOS and Android as mentioned), with initial setup needing the Versa 4 to be charging via a small proprietary four pin pad. Whether we will see something more in line with Pixel offerings in future remains to be seen, but for now, those familiar with Fitbit as a brand, won’t spot anything out of the ordinary. In terms of making that fact known to consumers, there are only a few subtle hints, such as the small “by Google” label that appears on packaging. It is at this point that we should note that this is the first device we have reviewed since Google acquired Fitbit. So, just how good is the Versa 4? Here are our thoughts on one of the latest devices from Fitbit. Having recently launched three new devices then, does Fitbit still offer the best compromise for those wanting a solid all-around smartwatch experience? To find that out we took the new Fitbit Versa 4 for a spin over the past couple of weeks.Īs the name would suggest, this is the fourth iteration in the Versa lineup, which are a step up from the fitness bands the company makes too, but more affordable than some of its specialist devices, like the Sense. The same go for the features, with Fitbit offering a blend of fitness, tracking, sleep and lifestyle applications and tools across its lineup.Īs such, Fitbit seems to specialise in doing a little bit of everything and not necessarily focused on one area in particular, apart from trying to get people to subscribe to its Premium service, which is a discussion for another time. For example, while the Apple Watch just about gets through a day of use, and the Huawei Watch GT boasts two weeks of battery life, the Fitbit devices normally muster five days before another charge is needed. This appears to be a theme with the company’s devices in general. With the Apple Watch and Huawei Watch GT offerings batting for opposing ecosystems, Fitbit still straddles the line between iOS and Android. Locally, however, there are a handful of players that have dominated the smartwatch space – namely Apple, Fitbit and Huawei. There are a myriad wearables and brands available these days, as this segment of consumer technology continues to grow with each passing week.
