Sense Advanced Smartwatch

I wish they'd lean into the Sense line. I decided to leave my Sense 1 for a Garmin Venu 3 about 9 months ago, and while there are a lot of things about the Garmin that I like, I have to admit that the fitbit algorithms are superior for health and sleep tracking. I could tell when I was getting sick a day or two in advance with my fitbit based off of my resting heart rate and oxygenation, but with Garmin it all fluctuates so much every night I can't tell. The Garmin does track my heart rate significantly better while exercising, and I use the flashlight feature every night. Overall, if a Sense 3 was coming out, I'd switch back away from Garmin. But I do need the smart watch texting features and I prefer something that LOOKS like a smart watch for when I'm wearing business attire.

I broke my sense 1 putting up siding on my house. I wear a versa 3 now which is holding up ok but I’m a computer programmer so maybe not a great example.

I have a sense 2 - which I love. It's got functional of a smart phone only if you want & keep your blue tooth on. I like that on the device, it will do an ecg, timers, fitpay, guided breathing, record exercise (3 basic), and more. I had a sense before this, and it lasted around 5+ years, I believe. I do not recommend the Circular Ring, I have version 2. Way to many growing pains with the app since August 25.

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'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.

Wouldn't recommend getting a new Fitbit since they've been bought out by [Google](https://killedbygoogle.com/). I still have my Sense from 2020 and will be looking for another brand whenever this one dies.

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.
