The former, in basic terms, tracks the electromagnetic current of your skin, which is affected by active sweat secretion. The Fitbit Sense has two sensors above what’s offered by the Fitbit Versa 3: the EDA and ECG scans. The two are so similar, though, that it’ll come down to personal preference. The Versa 3 is a little more varied, with four options black, gold (with midnight blue strap), gold (with pink strap), and thistle (essentially gold with a purple/gray strap). The Sense comes in soft gold, silver stainless steel, and graphite stainless steel. So, what is different? Aside from the slight difference in weight, the only indicator of whether you have a Fitbit Sense or Versa 3 in your hands is the color option. The idea is that this helps the “Infinity Band” last longer.Īpps on the Fitbit Versa 3 (Image credit: Future/Lloyd Coombes) They both offer swappable straps which clip on and off with ease, and whichever one you opt for they come with no metallic moving pieces. When testing them out, we found this difference to be negligible. The Versa 3 weighs in at 27.21g, while the Sense is slightly heavier at 31.75g. If you’re upgrading from a smaller Fitbit Inspire 2, you may be surprised at how big it is.

The screen is covered in Gorilla Glass to make the entire thing more durable.

The bezel around the display is slim, too, and there are no physical buttons – although there is a touch-sensitive section on one side. Both offer a 1.58-inch OLED screen with color support, which is easy to read in sunlight. The Fitbit Sense and the Versa 3 look very similar.
