Versa4 vs Sense2

[floydjb]

I'm in the market for a new fitbit. I have had a Charge3 since 11/2018. I picked these 2 models since I want a bigger screen. Other features that I would like is longer battery life(my charge3 currently is around 3 days) and a screen that does a lot better in sunlight. Any suggestions? Please let me know of any other models that might work for me. Plus if you know of any major cons for these models, I would appreciate it.  Thanks

Hi @floydjb - unless there is something you need specifically from one of these more expensive Fitbit watches consider the Versa 3 or Sense which have more features and are cheaper. If you really want good battery life and better HR also consider the more recent Garmins, such as the Venu 2 Plus which gets about 10 days and has loads more features and less issues.

Thanks, I will look at the Garmins also. Is there some specification I can look at that shows that the watch has a better brightness level? Or do all the Sensas and Versas have similar brightness levels. Does HR stand for High Resolution? In case it makes a difference I use a Pixel Android phone.  I looked at some of the forums for the Versas and Sensas and see that some of them seem to have more issues. Do you know of one model that has less problems? Thanks again for your help.

@floydjb - watches in general can be a little less good in direct sunlight, especially if you wear dark or dimming glasses. Brightness levels aren't generally given in specifications.

HR stands for Heart Rate.

The Versa 2 probably has a more reliable HR, good charging but a smaller screen.
