As usual, with more market share comes more competition. While Fitbit was one of the first out of the gate and able to dominate publicity and marketing circles, other companies jumped into the market with smartwatches and bands.

Design and screen/interface
The Garmin Vívoactive 4 has a circular face with a transflective memory-in-pixel display. It also features a touchscreen. There is a built-in alarm, timer, clock, and stopwatch. Garmin further gives you sunrise and sunset times, as well as auto-sync for when you travel. Garmin Pay can be used for contactless payments. You’ll also be able to control your smartphone music with the watch and accept or reject calls to your phone.
The Fitbit Sense has a square-shaped face with rounded corners and has an AMOLED full-color display, with a touch-screen for easy navigation. It’s possible to change the watch face through the Fitbit app instead of a secondary app like Garmin. There’s both a stopwatch and a timer at your fingertips, and you can stream music through the Fitbit Sense and use Fitbit’s own NFC tap pass, which allows you to pay directly with the watch.
Winner: Fitbit
Both watches have really similar features in this category, but Fitbit takes it due to their AMOLED screen and larger display.

Métricas
The Garmin Vívoactive 4 tracks steps and distance and has a built-in sports app to track specific types of exercise. It also has an animated on-screen workout function to guide you through yoga, cardio, and Pilates workouts. It also has sleep monitoring, which tracks different stages of sleep, and Pulse Oxygen data.
The Fitbit Sense tracks steps, distance, floors climbed and calories burned as part of its basic metrics. It also tracks four stages of sleep (awake, light, deep, and REM). Active Zone tracking also lets you know when you’re entering an optimal heart rate zone, customized to your height, weight, and age. Its built-in GPS will also measure “non-workout,” tracking steps and heart rate while you’re moving around the house or office.
Winner: Tie
Both of these fitness trackers handle the basics equally well. There’s not a lot separating them.
Extra metrics
The Vívoactive 4 is capable of measuring SPO2 (Pulse Oxygen) both while sleeping and on-demand. It also has a “body battery” level that tracks your overall energy level. The Vívoactive 4 stress levels are based on heart rate sensor data. It will track daily fluid levels if you enter them, and it will also track menstrual cycles, as well as your general respiration. Note that both the stress and respiration tracking are based on heart rate monitoring.
The Fitbit Sense measures SPO2 while sleeping and on-demand and records daily levels. It also has an EDA Scan that detects electrodermal activity as well as measures EGC (electrocardiogram). The Fitbit Sense also tracks VO2 to give you a cardio fitness score. This version also contains a skin temperature monitor to provide you with a running track of your temperature range during the day.
Winner: Fitbit Sense

GPS quality/tracking
The Garmin Vívoactive 4 has no GPS chipset inside it, but it uses what’s called “connected GPS,” relying on your phone’s GPS capability. It will be as accurate as your phone’s GPS, but it also means tracking is less accurate than you’d like with some activities like cycling.
O Fitbit Sense usa um GPS a bordo, embora isso também possa ter alguns problemas. Embora alguns usuários tenham experimentado atrasos com a conexão GPS, o rastreamento é geralmente mais preciso do que com o VivoActive 4.
_ Vencedor: Fitbit Sense _
GPS a bordo sempre bate GPS conectado.
duração da bateria e por que ele importa
Garmin afirma que o vívoativo 4 dura até oito dias no modo SmartWatch (o que significa mais rastreamento desativado), 18 horas no modo GPS sem música, e 6 horas no modo GPS com música.
Fitbit afirma que o sentido pode durar seis dias com GPS desativado e 12 horas com GPS contínuo.
É importante ter em mente que você provavelmente vai querer usar os recursos do seu rastreador de fitness, portanto, o melhor indicador da duração da bateria é com tudo ligado.
VENCEDOR: GARMIN VÍVOACTIVE 4
Apenas nos borda do sentido Fitbit, com duração de mais algumas horas.
