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.

Mine just did the same thing yesterday and this also worked for me to fix the issue.

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.

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.
