Fitbit Sense vs Versa 3 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's have a closer look by comparing the differences between the two Wearable Sense* and Versa 3* made by Fitbit.
Waterproof
Both, the Sense, as well as the Versa 3 are waterproof, and have no further difference in this feature. Both Wearable can be used under water in depths of up to 50 m. The two devices can even track and record your swimming lanes.
Battery
The battery of both products lasts the same with 6 days. Both devices take 2,0 hours to be fully charged.
GPS
Both Wearable feature an integrated GPS. This will provide you with a higher accuracy than your smartphone's GPS. This is generally also called Connected GPS. GLONASS is only supported with the Sense. With both Wearable, you have the possibility to use Connected GPS. The devices will take the GPS data from your smartphone. The downside to this can be signal issues and having to carry your smartphone with you.
Heart Rate Monitor
A fitness watch without a heart rate monitor is basically useless and not advisable to buy. That's because your heart rate is one of the key elements of different calculations. For example, many devices without a heart rate monitor claim to count your calories burned too. That number will hardly be right without having access to your heart rate.
Comparing the Fitbit Sense and the Fitbit Versa 3, both devices offer the heart rate monitor function and score in our books. On top of that, both will monitor your heart rate 24/7. Some devices only do that when you press a button, which is practically speaking rather useless.
Measured values
Both devices come with the feature of tracking and recording how many floors you've walked. Generally, this means that the altitude differences get calculated and presented to you. Unfortunately, in many cases these numbers can be rather inaccurate.
Both Wearable offer you the possibility to record your sleep time. On top of that, they also allow you to do a sleep analysis.
Both devices store the recorded data up to 7 days.
Bracelet
Being able to change your fitness watch band is a great advantage. You'll only have to worry about the color of the device itself, and not the color or material of its accompanying watch band. For pretty much every device, you can get cheap watch bands that will fit your device. You can make use of this advantage with both devices of this comparison.
Smarct functions
Getting call, text, or other notifications is a feature that both tools have. Often times, this feature is only possible with an Android device. iOS user can be left behind on this. Both devices even offer you the possibility to play voice messages. On top of that, both devices allow you to send QuickReplies right on your watch. Thanks to an integrated microphone, you can even reply with voice recordings.
Both devices allow you to install apps, which gives you more freedom and possibilities in the usage of your fitness watch. The interface, or the dial of your watch, can be changed with both, the Fitbit Sense , and the Fitbit Versa 3.
Amazon (Alexa) voice control is availabile for both Wearable. That's a small bonus, which probably shouldn't be one of the prime reasons for making an acquisition of a fitness watch.
The feature of being led through your training while you're working the machine is offered with the the Fitbit Sense and the Fitbit Versa 3.
Contactless payment
Contactless payment is a highly useful and more in demand than ever technology. Many Wearable already offer it. Being able to do this from your wrist is even more convenient than using your smartphone or a credit card. the Fitbit Sense and the Fitbit Versa 3 both offer this useful feature. Both products use Fitbit Pay.
