I've been doing similar research as my Fitbit Sense 2 is starting to age. There are some good subreddits with comparisons between Fitbit and Garmin, with discussions about how activities and health stats are tracked. Ultimately, reading heaps of reviews helped me decide that I'm going to stick with Fitbit for now but it will come down to which features are more important for you. I'll see if I can find some of the stuff I found helpful.

I absolutely would, especially now with the AI coach. It suits my needs and I have aong history with Fitbit. I replaced my Sense with a Sense2 earlier this year.

I've been a huge Fitbit fan up until very recently. I was nervous about the Google takeover, but everything seemed to be going fine while my products were still under warranty. The first update after my Sense 2 was out of it's 2 year factory warranty, the battery life started tanking and it started shutting itself off when it was tracking workouts(even when fully charged). I tried all of the reset they recommended on their community page and was recommended the same unhelpful steps from customer support(from my extensive googling of this issue, this happenes a lot nowadays). After a few weeks of me stubbornly clinging on through the frustration, it just stopped turning on at all, just kept leaving me in a blinking red 'x' loop until I gave up and switched over to my partner's old Galaxy watch 6. I'm still mourning my Sense 2, but have been very happy with the Galaxy capabilities and tracking. Fitbit used to be a great product, but Google seems to be bricking them as soon as the two years factory warranty is up. TLDR: Fitbit is great while they work, but brick the first update after warranty is up. Samsung Galaxy watch ftw.

Coming from the 7 Ultra probably the look. It's less classy watch looking even the bigger pixel size is still small pebble like. So it looks more fitness watch like and less watch like. there are ton of bands out there that you can snap it into that will make it look like it's a timex lol. Probably the other thing is it's a rounded glass dome and it can be bumped a bit easier however I put a spigen liquid air bumper on mine and it actually kinda fixed both these problems. It gave it a flatter appearance and made the watch a smidge wider on my wrist. Other then that I like wearOS on it it's been smooth and responsive. Honestly havn't been working out as much as I should be so haven't really had time to revisit the fitbit app, last time I used it I think I had the Sense 2 when it first came out before Google bought Fitbit.

When my Sense went down last week, it wouldn't hold a charge, I got a new charger a year ago, so I should have seen it coming. I replaced it with the Sense 2 (both fitbit products). I like the long battery life, eda scan & relax features that can be used with or without the app. I can have it check up on my mood multiple times a day. Features like seeing emails or texts from the phone when Bluetooth is engaged are nice as well.

I replaced my Sense with a Sense 2. In terms of notification on the device, you only get notification when you have the wifi of your phone turned on. If you don't keep it on constantly, then the battery lasts significantly longer than just a day.

I'm very happy with my Sense 2. I got it after my Sense stopped charging after 5 years. I don't really use it as a smart phone much so my battery life lasts 7 days or better.

I recently experienced the same with the Sense 2 ... continously going through the diamond/red X loop and won't turn on. It's now in a drawer, and I switched to the Samsung Galaxy Ultra.

I have the more expensive one (I forget the model; sense 2?) and I guess I've been lucky it's lasted at least 2 years now. But I also don't shower with it or get it wet nor banged it hard on anything so I dunno. (Hopefully I didn't jinx it! 😳)
