The Fitbit Versa 4 and Apple Watch SE have distinct app offerings due to their different platforms and focuses. The Versa 4 is primarily a fitness-focused smartwatch with limited app support, while the Apple Watch SE offers a wide range of third-party apps.
Fitbit Versa 4 Exclusive Apps:
The Versa 4 does not support third-party apps, which means it lacks the extensive app library available on other Fitbit models like the Sense series or older Versa models[6][7]. However, it comes with some built-in apps such as Weather, Maps, Timers, and Wallet. Additionally, it includes Amazon Alexa for voice assistance, which is not available on all Apple Watches by default[3][9]. While these aren't exclusive apps in the traditional sense, they are part of the Versa 4's core functionality.
Apple Watch SE Apps:
The Apple Watch SE, on the other hand, supports a wide array of third-party apps available through the App Store. Some notable apps include Todoist for task management, Fantastical for calendar management, Uptime for educational content, and Petey for AI assistance[2][8]. These apps are not available on the Fitbit Versa 4 due to its lack of third-party app support.
In summary, while the Versa 4 does not offer exclusive third-party apps compared to the Apple Watch SE, its built-in apps and features like Amazon Alexa integration provide a unique experience tailored towards fitness and health tracking. The Apple Watch SE, with its extensive app library, caters more to users seeking a broader range of functionalities beyond fitness.
