While both wearables also include interchangeable watch straps, it’s far easier to change them on the Charge 3 thanks to an easy release button that’s better than the quick-release pins on the Versa. We are fans of the inductive button with haptic feedback because it provides a “button-less” design that made it look even better.

We like that the Charge 3 also has a sleek look, and is even lighter at 29 grams - but it does have a smaller display and thicker case. But the Charge 3 does pull a lot of design inspiration from the Versa, specifically the aerospace aluminum case and streamlined design that make both wearables look sleek. Playing off its name, it’s also versatile and customizable enough to wear both day and night. There’s no denying the Fitbit Versa looks extremely similar to the Apple Watch - in fact, we think it looks slightly better. With a 34mm display, it’s almost twice the size of the Charge 3 and the case is also extremely slim. Winner: Fitbit Versa Design and display Brenda Stolyar/Digital Trends Overall, the majority of specs are the same, but the Versa edges a narrow win.

The Charge 3 currently doesn’t offer any music capabilities, but the company is looking to add music controls and third-party apps in the future.Įven though the Versa does come with the ability to download more apps and store music on the device, the Charge 3 should eventually receive similar features in the future. The Versa offers the ability to run smartphone-free by using the Pandora or Deezer app to listen to music on. Neither the Versa or the Charge 3 include built-in GPS, so you’ll have to stay tethered to your phone to track any running or biking sessions. On the Charge 3, there’s also a swim mode that will show you real-time duration. You can go for a swim or shower without having to worry about ruining either wearable. Other similarities the wearables share include the fact that they’re both swim-proof up to 50 meters.
