I am totally happy with my Sense. I researched information on it before I purchased and it is what I expected. I have never owned an Apple watch, so I can't compare it with that. I got this watch for the health features more so than for the GPS, MUSIC etc. The health features work great in my opinion. I do know Apple watch does not have these health features. The stress feature really helps if you use it. In my opinion, it is the perfect upgrade for me from the Verse 2. I do not have any problem with syncing my watch. I have an Apple phone. So, I guess it depends what features are most important to the individual in determining which watch to purchase. Sense is more of a Health watch..Apple is not. Health meaning focusing on several health aspects other than exercise. I truly recommend the Sense if Health features are important to you and you like to keep track of this.

Mine works great and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Only paid 210.00 for mine and I can use it as a phone like the apple watch. Worth every penny I paid

I got the sense for my birthday and really like it so far. I am hoping for firmware updates to help with some of the interface issues. As far as the Apple Watch being worth it, I disagree. Definitely not the case for me, anyway. The one I want is double the price and the sleep analytics are subpar, at best. Sleep tracking is one of the most important things on my priority list. I already had a premium subscription for that reason. The lack of music storage was a huge mistake on Fitbit’s part though, I will totally agree. Not sure what the heck they were thinking with that maneuver.

"Salesy" is the perfect word for the Fitbit vibes. Nice work sir.

If you want a smartphone on your wrist, buy an Apple watch. If you want a fitness tracker that also has some smart features, buy a Fitbit.
For me personally, I had a Samsung galaxy watch 3, and while it had the higher build quality and more features, the fitness apps were terrible and badly integrated. I ended up having about 3 apps on my phone for what the Fitbit app does all in one. I have not tried the Apple watch but it seems better than Samsung in that area but also lags behind Fitbit in basic features like sleep monitoring.

Great job with pros and cons of the watch. I own one, and you’re spot on. And your background is awesome, very professional look.

I have a Fitbit Sense and the face came off in August 2021, 10 months later the replacement did the same thing. I never get it wet, I do sleep with it on for sleep tracking and such. Fitbit said they will give me 35% off on a third watch, will not replace it. I have owned many watches from this company but I will never own another one again!! Starting my search for a new fitness tracker!

Thanks I will stick with my Garmin after having considered this watch and listened to your feedback. Thanks a really great video, good job. Merry Christmas. Stuart

[jpsheldon]

I agree with all of your points. The watch face selection overall is terrible and paying a fee is just not going to happen, not to mention the standard faces Fitbit offers are nothing to write home about, zero thought was put into them.

I never listen to music while exercising, never have a problem with it disconnecting from my phone. I love my Fitbit sense.

You are literally spot on with every pro and con! The OS is soo laggy and the opposite of the fluid Apple Watch…but the health tracking features of the Fitbit (ESPECIALLY SLEEP TRACKING) and much better battery mean that I personally think the Fitbit beats the Apple Watch.

Let me know what you guys think 👀

[mfarrell]

I don't listen to music when I run. Not to be able to hear the traffic and events around you is just asking for an accident. Though I did like your review, very thorough and well made. Keep up the good work.

I adore mine. I have not had syncing issues with mine, so I am not sure about that. As far as music storage on watch itself, it isn't a big deal to me. I think people are honestly too critical with that argument. I prefer to store music on my phone anyway(lot more space for more tracks) The only thing music related that I wish they had done is allow me to control my phone's music from my wrist. I don't do spotify, so that wouldn't help me. The battery life is the best of any smartwatch I've ever owned. As far as apple watch goes...Yeah right! You have to pay big to get into that ecosystem and getting an apple watch is only worth it if you already have an iphone. If you don't have an iphone, you are literally paying thousands just to have the privilege to buy their branding. Apple has way better competition now so they are no longer as great as they used to be and they refuse to adapt and step up. That's why I won't buy their products. You laugh at Fitbit for upselling you but don't mention Apple doing the exact same thing? That's laughable. Apple is the king of upsell :D

[EdTaguba]

Fitbit works on both iOS and Android vs just iOS with Apple Watch. Battery life is not that great either on Apple Watch . That’s just my opinion too. Thank you for the review

[coldblue]

Great review. Really enjoyed the way you presented your thoughts. Very organized. Keep up good work!

[gaijincoordinator]

8:15 what do you mean? They have sensors that no one else has, and their sleep tracking is ahead of the whole market

[stuvius]

Short intro, straight to the point, and good structure. Really got me thinking whether I should buy it. Great review mate

[hermiecatherinegilbuena]

I appreciate your honest comparison. I really needed this and you helped me make up my mind and not get future fit bits because I do agree with a lot of what you said. It’s not user friendly and the price is way too expensive compared to Apple.

FYI...the Fitbit Sense can make you pace if you have a pacemaker! The magnet in the watch itself is strong enough to pick up a drill bit therefore can make one pace if your within 4 inches or less of your pacemaker. Can't control how close I place it while sleeping. :-( I was super bummed as there is no warning in regards to having a medical device and I really liked the watches capabilities.

[grecuccionicola]

I don’t know of the button, I have sense, and the button works very wel, I like that I can set a short cut, with one push, and two push .
I don’t know, why thy are so negative, it’s a very good product, and also feels premium,
