5.0 out of 5 stars Great battery life, love the bright easy to read screen

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I am a long time Fitbit user. I upgraded from the Fitbit Charge 3 because I couldn't read the Charge 3 screen at all in the sunlight. The Fitbit Sense is easy to read even when it's sunny out. Great battery life & charges super fast. Sleep mode is very helpful. I really wish that you could fully read text messages & emails on the Sense. Also wish you could see your full reply when responding to someone via voice to text. Sense isn't useful/helpful when you have to use your phone to see full text messages, emails or your voice response to make sure there aren't any wrong words in your voice to text before sending. The purpose of those features are so you wouldn't have to rely on using your phone. Also, sometimes when you press on a notification Sense will occasionally clear other unopened notifications. It doesn't happen often but is frustrating when it does. In exercise mode I wish there was an option to see the current time in addition to elapsed time, distance, pace & heartrate all on the same screen. It would be helpful when doing 5k races or training for a race. I do like the current option of seeing those on separate screens too but would prefer the ease of seeing all on one screen. Golf mode has shut itself off a few times when I've used it. That's disappointing when you're trying to keep track of total play time & total steps specifically during the hours of playing golf. Wish I could get the "Golfpad" app on my Sense then I could use my Sense instead of the app on my phone. Also wish there were more free clocks similar to Spectrum that showed current time, date, steps, sleep & heartrate on one screen with a nice picture background that was easy to read. Overall I love the Fitbit Sense. I plan to try more of the other features such as music soon & hope I can listen while keeping the walking exercise mode running during a race without a problem. Hopefully I'll be able to switch back & forth quickly & easily. I bought the screen protector for my Sense & have been using it since. So glad I did as it's protected the screen many times from being bumped or accidentally dropped when trying to put it on. Wish Fitbit would sell the screen protectors. Would also like more color options for the sport bands including an all black band and breathing holes. The sport bands & Sense are very comfortable to wear even while sleeping. I recommend the sport brands if you play a lot of sports or are very active to ensure it stays on. I love the square face of the Sense. It's large enough & bright enough to read indoors & outdoors yet delicate looking for a small wrist. One last thing, wish Fitbit gave a better way to sign up for the extra extended coverage. The option popped up on the app on my phone but unfortunately while I was at work & didn't have the credit card on me I would have used to pay for the coverage. So unfortunately I didn't get a chance to sign up for that. The Sense is rather pricey so worth waiting until it's on sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars so far so good, excellent clarity, accurate steps & heart rate, easy set up

P.D. · July 11, 2021

UPDATE: 2 FULL YEARS later practically to the date. My SENSE crapped out. Was a good Smartwatch up until it just started not working (only showed fitbit icon, intermittent vibration, would work for a few hours, then go back to showing nothing. Was a quick death). Not changing rating as all these gadgets are basically throw aways. Now back to original review:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Probably want to select reviews based on "most recent" as that will provide you with most up to date and relevant information pertaining to this product. I acquired my Fitbit Sense in June 2021, it has not yet been a month, but so far so good with 24/7 use. I am slow to check out and use all the features, but what I have interacted with so far has been stellar.I have been using Fitbit products since April 2015- kinda have a love/hate relationship with this brand. I use the activity tracker constantly, and I greatly enjoy the app. So I have stuck with it as I upgraded over the years (Charge x2, Blaze x2, Versa 2, and now Sense). As with many Fitbit users, there is a known frustration with the products. Despite some of my own qualms, and having the ability to spend whatever I want on any fitness tracker I want, I still end up (so far) with this brand. Mostly because I haven't found a tracker and app that I totally like better. I even have a Garmin, but I find that so far off base of accuracy (save for HR), that it is a glorified watch. Garmin seems to do best for actual intended activities (going for a run, going for a long walk, going cycling) where it seems to not be accurate in steps for any other part of the day (only counts about 1/3 of actual steps unless engaged in a longer duration activity, and even then it takes a few minutes for it to start). Also, the app seems to have a lot of info, but doent really tell me anything. That being said, when it was time for me to buy another fitness tracker--I went from Versa 2 to Garmin.. back to Fitbit. I went with the Sense because the price was right, and it was an upgrade over the Versa 2. After my underwhelming experience with the Garmin, I would have happily taken over a 2nd hand Charge from 2015. At least my steps would be accurate.Ok, so back to the Sense. WOW, the visual on the screen is really clear and precise. Even way more so over the Versa 2, and I had no issues with that. Set up was EASY, and QUICK. Basically, just like in adding any other fitbit, just let it pair and it will very quickly be all set and ready to go. I didnt have any weird upselling offerings, or at least nothing that wasn't fantastically easy to opt out from. Nothing shady that I saw.ONE POINT that I DO think is important to know is that if you happen to have a Versa 2 (Not sure if this also happens with regular Versa, Versa Lite, or Versa 3), but this could not be added alongside my Versa 2. I had to take the Versa 2 offline in order to add this Sense. I know this is the case with trying to add more than one of the same products, yet I have always been able to have several Fitbits paired no problem, as long as they were different models. SO, I guess the Fitbit app sees Sense and Versa 2 as the same. Not a big deal as my Versa 2 had essentially died after I wore it on a hot humid day and my sweat killed it (then I brought it back to life after putting it in a bag of rice for about a week, Then afterward the battery was never the same. It drained to nothing daily.. and I needed to not have to worry about daily charging.. hence my picking up a Garmin in the interim to see if I liked them enough to spring for a more fancy model--nope-- and ended up buying the Sense.)Hope it lasts. I love the look. The band is way better than the old pin style. Swapping out bands is so much quicker, easier, less need for super fine motor skills. LOVE the charger. It just sort of magnetizes to the fitbit. No need to clip in.SP02 wasn't the main feature I was drawn to, but in order to have accurate use it seems a special clock face is needed, and that clock face will drain battery quicker (from what I have read). That being said,Battery life has been excellent for me.Love being able to add other apps, and features. Scrolling is easy, turning face on/off is not complicated.HEART RATE is accurate. I have tested it against my garmin, two blood pressure devices, and a doctors appointment. All saying the same.Also, I the voice assistant is great. You can choose GOOGLE Assistant, OR Alexa. This is why selecting most recent reviews on this sort of stuff is important, as the early release of Sense did not have Google Assistant, but would soon with an update. True, and they followed through as I have it.AT THIS TIME, I have ZERO issues, concerns with this Fitbit Sense. I will be back to update as I learn more, or if I have anything worth sharing that is bad. I keep up with my reviews as needed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly excellent

The watch is great with calories, zone minutes and steps! It also records quality of sleep, which is great to keep track of. The only problem I have is the distance, which seems to be an issue. The watch has a problem distinguishing between miles and kilometers, and doesn’t record my 5 miles until I’ve walked 8.05 miles (8.05 kilometers=approximately 5 miles). Fitbit seems to be aware of this issue, but has not corrected it. Overall a great fitness watch, just some software kinks that haven’t been solved.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really like the way my Sense monitors my sleep and steps.

Really like my Sense. I’ve had a Fitbit for about five years and find them to be very reliable and mostly accurate. CAUTION, do NOT depend on heart rate beyond normal resting and exercising pulse. I had afib with a pulse of 300 at the emergency room but my Fitbit said my pulse was normal and my heart health was excellent. Remember, this is not a medical device although it can provide some interesting health information. I also like that the battery lasts for days.

This smartwatch is not durable. Broke rather fast

K.C. · August 30, 2023

Even if the watch has always been hard to charge and important features with only with the (expensive) premium subscription, I was features satisfied with the watch. I have also used the charger that comes with the watch; but before you know it the watch doesn't charge anymore. Not citar to me if it's the device or the charger; no matter how much I try the charge doesn't happen. As warranty is so short, you shoot with a watch that you can't use pretty soon. Really feel scammed 😪

Excelente smartwatch

F.T. · January 31, 2021

Lo compré en oferta y estoy muy satisfecha con este reloj. Me gusta el rendimiento de la bateria y es muy cómodo por esta dormir. en México toda la no tiene activa la opción de ECG ni la carátula para checar el oxígeno spo2. Viene con una membresía de 6 meses para premium de la app y la verdad que los reportes son muy interesantes.

Precio-calidad buena

Lo compré porque calidad precio estaba bien, siempre suelo llevar smartwatch de esta marca por su precisión, diseño, calidad...pero como todo la batería al final acaba fallando

Fitbit Sense Schwarz - beste Smartwatch ever

P.K. · October 3, 2020

ja, was soll ich sagen, wenn ich hier so die vielen Negativ-Rezensionen zur Fitbit Sense lese, dann frage ich mich, ob ich nun seit drei Tagen wirklich das gleiche Smartwatch-Produkt an meinem Handgelenk habe wie die anderen Schreiberlinge hier?! Ich hatte jetzt 3 Jahre lang die Fitbit Ionic, war mit der auch meistens sehr zufrieden. Und doch, die Sense spielt für mich jedenfalls in einer höheren Liga. Die Sense-Software ist von Anfang an sehr sehr stabil! (das ar bei der Ionic die ersten Monate nicht so) Der eine Touch-Bedienungsknopf an der Sense, links an der Seite der Uhr, funktioniert bei mir tadellos und immer zuverlässig und ohne rumzuzicken und ist optisch nicht dominant, was ich sehr mag. Viel besser als die vielen fast nutzlosen dicken Knöpfe der Ionic. Der Sense-Akku wird irgendwie gar nicht leer, obwohl ich täglich stundenlang an der Sernse rumdrücke und alles zigfach ausprobiere und obwohl ich genauso zigfach täglich mit der Fitbit-Smartphone-APP bewußt immer und immer wieder alle Sense-Daten synchronisiere und jeden Tag mit ihr 5 KM im Park Laufen gehe, samt aktiviertem GPS. Das GPS ist auch schneller "Verbunden" als bei der Ionic, Klasse! Optik: okok, die Eleganz der Ionic war immer, na sagen wir, nerdlastig. Mir gefiel die Optik der Ionic, aber ich gebe zu, es war eine streitbare Gefallen-Beziehung zwischen der Ionic und mir . Aber die Optik der Fitbit Sense, die ist von ihrer Eleganz einfach in einem völlig anderem Space unterwegs, sie sieht viiiel besser aus, als auf den Internet-Werbe-Bildern. Ist am Ende natürlich Geschmackssache. Und Nachts trägt die Sense auch gefühlt weniger auf als die Ionic, die Sense ist da einfach mehr im Hintergrund. Meine Frau will jetzt auch eine Sense... ooohh shit, hätte ich die sie ihr mal nicht so angepriesenUpdate: nun habe ich die Sense 5 Tage lang. Der Akku ist auf 8%. Gefühlt habe ich auf meiner neuen Sense jeden Tag mehrere Stunden rumgedrückt und alles ausprobiert. Hab jeden Tag Sport mit aktiviertem GPS gemacht. Wenn ich das rumgezappe auf der Sense auf ein Normalmaß runterfahre wird das Teil 6 bis 7 Tage ohne aufladen durchhalten. Supi!Übrigens: als ich die Sense von Bolo gesendet bekommen habe, war die Inbetriebnahme bei mir völlig unkompliziert und flüssig.Und was Bolo und dessen Angebots- und Bestell- und Lieferservice angeh: Dazu ist bei mir mal wieder alles sehr gut gelaufen! Bolo ist einfach Weltmeister in Sachen Zuverlässigkeit und Schnelligkeit. Warum können all die anderen Web-Unternehmen das nicht? Selbst schuld, wenn Bolo alle anderen mit großem Abstand auf die Plätze verweist. Lernen und besser werden... oder vom Markt weggeputzt werden... nennt man "fittest of the survival". Wer kauft schon gerne bei jemandem, der es nicht drauf hat, wenn es jemanden gibt, der es drauf hat? Sorry, wenn das den einen oder anderen hier jetzt erschreckt!
