Fitbit is the most recognizable brand in fitness smartwatches, and the Fitbit Versa 4 is the best Fitbit smartwatch you can get right now, according to PCMag. Right now, the best deal on the Versa 4 comes from Amazon, which currently selling it for $149.95 (originally $199.95). This matches its lowest-ever price, according to price-checking tools. Only the pink sand/copper rose color is available, but it comes with small and large wrist bands.
The Fitbit Versa 4 came out in 2022 as the fourth generation of the Versa smartwatch, improving on aspects like design and responsiveness while keeping its six-day battery life, according to PCMag's "excellent" review. One of this model's new features is the ability to track skin temperature variation when its worn to bed, which can affect our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. The watch also measures blood oxygen saturation, breathing rate, heart rate variability, and resting heart rate. If you are willing to spend $9.99 per month (or $79.99 per year) for a Fitbit Premium subscription, you'll get some extra features like the "Readiness Score," which advises whether it is more beneficial to do a workout or take a rest day with respect to your recovery.
The Versa 4 also took a hard turn on third-party apps when it was released compared to previous generations. It no longer supports apps outside of its own Fitbit gallery. In other words, if you want to use Adidas Running, Calm, Shazam, Spotify, or apps like Strava, you might want to look at the Versa 3 or other smartwatches. The good news is that the Fitbit gallery still has many apps like City Bikes, Starbucks, Strava, Surfline, and Uber by Fitbit.
