Which device offers better water resistance, the Versa 4 or the Apple Watch SE

Fitbit Versa 4:
- The Versa 4 is designed to be swimproof, supporting swimming as one of its exercise modes. However, it lacks a dedicated water lock mode, which can be activated indirectly by starting a swim session in the Exercise app[1].
- Fitbit recommends avoiding prolonged exposure to salt water and advises cleaning the device with fresh water and drying it afterward[1][4].
- Water resistance can decrease over time and may be affected by exposure to chemicals or physical impacts[1].

Apple Watch SE:
- The Apple Watch SE also has a 50-meter water resistance rating, making it suitable for swimming in pools and open water[2][5].
- Like the Versa 4, it is not designed for high-velocity water activities or deep diving[2][5].
- Apple Watches generally do not have a specific water lock mode, but they are designed to handle water exposure during swimming and other shallow-water activities[5].

In summary, both devices offer comparable water resistance, but the Apple Watch Ultra would be a better choice for more extreme water activities due to its higher water resistance rating of up to 100 meters[5]. However, for typical swimming and shallow-water use, both the Versa 4 and Apple Watch SE are suitable options.
