I have a Fitbit sense I purchased a year ago after my versa 2 screen started having display issues after 4 plus years and the charge was down to 3 days. I love fitbits because of the long battery life and it has enough features for me. I don’t want a watch that has a smaller screen or needs charged daily … been there before and didn’t like it.

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 bought a Sense a few years but the screen cracked so I bought Versa (2maybe?) and the battery completely broke and now I'm back to my original Sense! Cracked but still works well! I've been wanting a new fitness tracker, and while I have been using Fitbit for many years, I've been so disappointed but I just don't know what else I would be happy with.

I have a Fitbit Sense that I got for free after the Ionic had a battery recall. Luckily mine is still working fine. However I am trading it in for $55 to Best Buy with my Pixel Watch 4 pre-order. You could try doing the same thing but it's possible they will notice that the Sense isn't working and not give you the credit, but who knows. I will miss Fitbit's great battery life but I am looking forward to having a proper watch OS.

I got a sense when it first came out. Had it for 2 years and got the pixel watch when it first came out. When I went to reset the sense to hand it down to my wife, constant boot loop and I never was able to recover it. Support was useless. Pixel watch is still going strong after almost 3 years tho. Considering the upgrade to the watch 4 or may wait for watch 5.

The reason I like my 570 is mainly the sizing options. The 42mm is perfect me along with the fact that I got a 25% discount code that expired after 10 days. My fitbit sense 1 just completely died on me. Essentially, it came down to the 265s or the 570. I went with the updated version.

r/Garmin • Is the Forerunner 570 the worst choice in Garmin’s current lineup? ->

For anyone else have similar looping/booting issues with their Fitbit, I ran into this once with my Sense and followed the instructions here: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Sense/Fitbit-Sense-Stuck-in-Startup-Loop/td-p/4942987 I don’t know if it will work for everyone but it did work for me.

I have a fitbit sense & a circular 2 ring. I've had the circular 2 for about a month & the fitbit sense for 4-5 years. Both will track heart rate, sleep, steps, menstrual cycle, do breathing exercises ( circular only via the app), meditation, ecg testing for afib, etc. In terms of tracking, the fitbit wins hands down. It is and has been consistent with tracking data, downloading, and only lost a few days data when I needed a replacement charger. The Circular is having data outages, losing 4 days of data & needed a factory reset and has been a pain in the ass. As far as it thinks, I don't sleep. The saving features are: stress level tracking, live measurement data as it includes real time SPO2 information& Kira ( their wellness AI). If I had to recommend one, it would be the fitbit.

I have had both and the Ultra 2 isnt even close to the Fitbit Sense. Ultra gets 1.5 days with a 30 minute daily GPS workout and normal smartwatch functions. Sense easily got 3x better duration.

r/AppleWatch • I’m really tired carrying an out-of-battery watch around. ->
