Which is Better?

Unlike Charge 4, Versa 3 is a full-fledged smartwatch, and as a result, it has more features. The Versa 3 has a loudspeaker and microphone in addition to music storage all of which Charge 4 lacks. In other words, Versa 3 has a more durable build, better display, and is a more comprehensive smartwatch than Charge 4.

On the other hand, Charge 4 is a decent fitness tracker housing inbuilt GPS and every other fitness tracking feature present on Versa 3. And it has a slightly longer battery life than Versa 3. It’s a decent choice for those who just want to track their active life without breaking the bank.
