While the Versa 4 runs on Fitbit OS, Google's smartwatch, as you would expect, is powered by Wear OS. Smart features and softwareĪrguably an even more significant difference between these two devices is the on-watch experience. We'll come onto those in the sections below. While both can monitor heart rate continuously, track location during exercise via the GPS, survive in water up to 5ATM, and make contactless payments because of the built-in NFC chip, the Pixel Watch's design unlocks a few more features than the Versa 4. Then there are the other hardware differences. Each is available in four different finishes, too. It's also important to note that both only come in one case size - 41mm for the Pixel Watch, and 40.5mm for the Versa 4 - though you can at least jazz things up with different bands. There are plenty of people out there that wouldn't really mind the Fitbit's more budget feel, we imagine, but it is something to keep in mind if you want something that can blend in with more formal outfits. The Pixel Watch's stainless steel, heavier presence really adds to the build quality and feels much closer to something like the Apple Watch, while the Fitbit doesn't boast quite the same quality.
There are the obvious distinctions in case shape and style - with the Pixel Watch's being a domed, circular face with a detailed crown on the right side, and the Versa 4 being a squared-off face with just a side button - but it's the feel on the wrist that we rate as the most noticeable factor here.
Given the price disparity, it shouldn't come as a surprise that there are plenty of design differences here. The Versa 4, then, assumes the entry-level role in the lineup, while the debut Google smartwatch is often found around double the price and is the flagship option of Wear OS. Though technically under different brands, the fact Google now owns Fitbit means the prices for the smartwatch range - which also includes the Fitbit Sense 2 - are all laddered with each other in mind.
Relatively speaking, these two smartwatches sit on opposite ends of the spectrum. Below, though, we'll be sizing this pair up against one another. It's why we've created this complete comparison guide, analyzing the key elements of each watch's design, feature set, tracking experience and battery life.įor a more in-depth look at each smartwatch, you can check out our extended reviews. If you're picking between them, though, there are plenty of differences (and some similarities) to know about before you decide. Here at Wareable, we rate both the Google Pixel Watch and Fitbit Versa 4 as solid smartwatches in the right hands.
