The main differences in charging times between the Fitbit Versa 4 and the Google Pixel Watch 3 are as follows:
- Fitbit Versa 4 Charging Time: The Versa 4 charges relatively quickly, providing 24 hours of battery life after just 12 minutes of charging. A full charge typically takes about an hour, although some users have reported longer charging times, potentially due to issues with the charging cable or power source[1][6][10]. The Versa 4 is designed to offer a battery life of over six days when fully charged, depending on usage[1].
- Google Pixel Watch 3 Charging Time: The Pixel Watch 3 charges at different rates depending on its size. For the 41mm model, it takes about 24 minutes to reach 50% charge, 35 minutes to reach 80%, and approximately 60 minutes to reach a full charge[2][8]. The 45mm model takes about 28 minutes to reach 50%, 50 minutes to reach 80%, and around 80 minutes to fully charge[2][5]. The Pixel Watch 3 generally offers a shorter battery life compared to the Versa 4, typically lasting about a day and a half under normal conditions[3][11].
In summary, the Versa 4 offers quicker initial charging for a day's use but takes longer to fully charge compared to some reports. The Pixel Watch 3 charges faster to certain percentages but requires more frequent charging due to its shorter battery life.
