The Fitbit Versa 4's battery charging speed is relatively efficient compared to some other smartwatches, but it doesn't offer the fastest charging times. Here's how it compares:
- Fitbit Versa 4: It takes about two hours to fully charge the Versa 4 from 0% to 100%[3][10]. However, Fitbit claims that just 12 minutes of charging can provide enough power for a full day's use, which is beneficial for quick top-ups[3][9]. The Versa 4 uses a magnetic charging system, which is generally easy to use and aligns well with the watch[1].
- Apple Watch Ultra 2: This smartwatch supports fast charging, reaching a full charge in approximately 60 minutes. It can achieve about 80% charge in around 30 minutes, making it more efficient for quick recharges[2].
- Pixel Watch 3: The Pixel Watch 3 charges about 20% faster than its predecessor, taking around 60 minutes to reach a full charge for the 41mm model. It can reach 80% charge in about 50 minutes, but uses a pin-based charging system that some users find less convenient[2].
- Pixel Watch 2: The Pixel Watch 2 charges to 80% in about 43 minutes and reaches almost 98% full charge in about an hour. It uses a similar pin-based system as the Pixel Watch 3[8].
- OnePlus Watch 2: This smartwatch is extremely fast to charge, reaching 50% in just 15 minutes. It takes about 50 minutes to fully charge, making it one of the fastest charging smartwatches available[5].
In summary, while the Fitbit Versa 4 offers a quick top-up feature, its overall charging time is not as fast as some other smartwatches like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 or the OnePlus Watch 2. However, its magnetic charging system is user-friendly, and the watch's battery life is generally longer than many other smartwatches, lasting up to six days under typical conditions[6][10].
