What's the benefit of disabling WiFi (there is a WiFi chip on board, but it's permanently turned off)? Extended battery life? The Fitbit Versa 4 has the same battery life as its predecessor. Probably the biggest loss is the WiFi, which is completely unexplainable. Speaking of the Charge 5: even that has an ECG sensor, unlike the Versa 4, although the Versa line never had a sensor that can measure that, so, technically, the new watch hasn't lost this feature. This reminds me of the Fitbit Charge 5 launch, which didn't have a bunch of essential features when it was released. I'm completely befuddled how can Fitbit keep Alexa and ditch Google's Assistant? Maybe there is some contractual obligation to have Alexa on board I'm not sure.įeatures not available at the moment, although will be in the future, are on-wrist Bluetooth calls, Google Maps and Google Wallet. I'm going to start with what I think is the strangest exclusion, especially considering Fitbit's Google acquisition a few years back: the Versa 4 doesn't support Google Assistant, only Amazon Alexa. But here, I'm going to be talking about what features the Fitbit Versa 4 has lost compared to its predecessor. Usually, this is the section of the review where I talk about what new features have been added to the latest iteration of the product.
