This post compares the design, health tracking features, battery life, and other features of Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 vs Fitbit Versa 2. The Galaxy Watch 3 is the newest smartwatch from Samsung that succeeds in Galaxy Watch. It comes with more features that make it a more comprehensive smartwatch than its predecessor, while Versa 2 which was released last year is also an outstanding smartwatch. I’ve been using Versa 2 and Galaxy Watch and I can say these two are some of the best smartwatches on the market. However, the comparison is between the newer Galaxy Watch 3 and Versa 2.

Which is Better?

Versa 2 is cheaper, yet a comprehensive fitness tracker that’s very lightweight and has a longer battery life of up to 4 days or more.

However, Galaxy Watch 3 is a more sophisticated smartwatch, it has a loudspeaker that allows you to make and receive calls from the watch. It also has more fitness tracking features than Versa 2 and a higher storage capacity.
