Galaxy Watch 4 VS Fitbit Sense: Which One Is Best?

At a mid-range price, Galaxy Watch, 4, and Fitbit Sense are both strong competitors. But which smartwatch performs better and has more premium features?

Both watches are flagship versions and offer many exciting fitness tracking and smartwatch features that you have expected. But one of them has better performance and provides more features like LTE, NFC, Music storage, and more. 

Note: If you are on a budget, you can choose Fitbit Scenes, and if you are serious about your health and want something smooth, look at the Galaxy Watch 4.

Galaxy Watch 4 VS Fitbit Sense: Design

You have seen both brands maintain the previous designs. Galaxy Watch 4 comes in two variants: the classical and LTE variant.

The Galaxy Watch 4 classical edition looks like a traditional timepiece with two buttons on the side and has a stainless steel bezel. But I love its LTE variant, which looks more elegant and has a 1.36″ (450 x 450px) large dial.

But unfortunately, Galaxy Watch 4 lacks rotating bezels. The two physical buttons on the right side allow easy navigation around the menu. You can even stop or start your activity tracking with these buttons.

On the other hand, the Fitbit Sense comes with the same rectangular design as its predecessor. But this time, Fitbit added an aluminum frame around the dial that makes the watch look more premium.

Sense comes with Gorilla Glass 3 protection making the watch more durable. The AMOLED display is so vibrant that you can easily read the dial under direct sunlight.

We have seen that the screen’s refresh rate is too much better than the Fitbit Versa 3/2.

Because of 42 g of weight, Fitbit Sense is very comfortable, and you can easily carry it on your wrist for a whole day. You can easily interchange the straps as well according to your outfit.

Fitbit Sense VS Galaxy Watch 4: Battery Life

Both are high-performing watches loaded with tons of features, so you canā€™t expect an extra-long battery life as both devices have AMOLED displays that consume more battery life and give high-quality, vibrant display.

But as compared to the predecessor, both watches offer long battery life. Battery life depends on the number of features like GPS, brightness of the display, AOD etc. 

The Fitbit Sense offers a maximum battery life of 6 days, but this time may reduce if you use Always-on-Display and GPS.

On the other hand, Galaxy Watch can last for 2 days on a single charge, even with intensive use. So roughly, we can say that Galaxy Watch 4 may track your activities for 2.5 days.

Galaxy Watch 4 VS Fitbit Sense: Price

No doubt, premium smartwatches cost more, and in return, you will get tons of exciting features. The premium design and advanced sensors make these smartwatches worthy of buying.

Fitbit Sense is available for $249, making it the most expensive Fitbit watch. Similarly, the Galaxy Watch 4 is available for $279 for its Bluetooth variant to $329 for its LTE variant.

The Classical Version of Galaxy Watch 4 is the most expensive, costing $429 for its LTE version and $349 for its Bluetooth version. I think Galaxy has increased its price too much, but there may be a reason behind their sky-touching prices.
