The Fitbit Versa 4 offers a battery life similar to its predecessor, the Versa 3. Both models are claimed to last for six days on a single charge, although actual performance can vary based on usage patterns such as enabling the always-on display or using GPS features[1][3][5]. The Versa 4's battery life is generally consistent with the Versa 3, but it may slightly outperform it in some scenarios, especially when features like always-on display are disabled[1][3].
In comparison to other Fitbit models, the Versa 4 and Versa 3 have longer battery lives than some older models like the Versa and Versa Lite Edition, which offer around four days of battery life[9]. However, they do not match the longevity of some smaller Fitbit trackers, which can last up to 10 days or more[5][9].
One notable aspect of the Versa 4 is its ability to provide a full day's worth of battery life from just a 12-minute charge, which is convenient for users who need a quick top-up[6]. Overall, while the Versa 4 does not significantly improve upon the battery life of the Versa 3, it maintains a competitive edge over many smartwatches from other brands, which often require daily charging[1][4].
In real-world use, some users have reported achieving more than six days of battery life with the Versa 4, especially when using it conservatively[7]. However, enabling features like the always-on display can reduce the battery life to around two to three days[2][4]. This variability highlights the importance of adjusting settings to optimize battery performance based on individual needs.
