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 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.

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.
