Fitbit Versa 4 vs Garmin Lily - Where are the differences?

Let's check out the differences between the two Wearable Fitbit Versa 4* and Garmin Lily* in detail.

Release Date

Both products were made in two consecutive years. The Fitbit Versa 4 was first released in 2022. Consequently, the Garmin Lily from 2021 is older.

Display

You'll get a display with both devices. the Versa 4 has a color display. the Lily display on the other hand only displays in gray-scale. In both cases, there is a touch display. the Lily comes with a {$tg->_pa(2)}} display. The Fitbit Versa 4 has a AMOLED display. Both devices give you the opportunity to use the always-on function.

Waterproof

Both, the Versa 4, as well as the Lily are waterproof, and have no further difference in this feature. Both Wearable can be used under water in depths of up to 50 m.

Battery

The Fitbit Versa 4 sports a longer battery runtime with 6 days. the Garmin Lily battery lasts merely for 5 days.

GPS

An integrated GPS of the Wearable is in this case only available with the Fitbit Versa 4. GLONASS is only supported with the Versa 4.

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 Versa 4 and the Garmin Lily, 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

Only the Versa 4 can track how many floors you've covered.

Both Wearable offer you the possibility to record your sleep time. On top of that, they also allow you to do a sleep analysis.

With the Garmin Lily the data is stored up to 14 days.

Motivation & Community

Motivation is for many people one of the fatktors for buying a fitness tracker.

With both devices you have the possibility to compete with others in competitions. This is fun and encourages you to stay on the ball. A small disadvantage of most devices is that the competitions can only be made with devices from the same manufacturer. For example, Garmin and Fitbit cannot be connected by default.

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.

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. There's a difference here between the two devices, as only the Fitbit Versa 4 hooks you up with contactless payment technology. With the Versa 4, Fitbit Pay & Google Wallet is being used.
