When comparing the charging times of the Fitbit Versa 4 and the Apple Watch SE, there are notable differences. The Fitbit Versa 4 is designed to provide a full day's worth of battery life with just a 12-minute charge, which is particularly useful for quick top-ups[1][6]. For a full charge, the Versa 4 generally takes less than two hours, although some users have reported longer charging times due to issues with the charging cable or power source[7].
In contrast, the Apple Watch SE requires significantly more time to charge. It takes about 90 minutes to reach 80% charge and an additional 60 minutes to reach 100%[2][5]. This means that a full charge for the Apple Watch SE typically takes around 150 minutes. The charging speed of the Apple Watch SE can be improved by using a 20W USB-C power adapter, which is not included with the device[5].
Overall, the Fitbit Versa 4 offers faster charging for short periods, making it convenient for users who need a quick boost. However, the Apple Watch SE's charging process is more time-consuming but provides a comprehensive charging solution with its fast-charging capabilities when using the appropriate adapter.
