Is the Versa 2 better than a Charge 5 for replacement?

[eden2]

I want to replace my old charge 5 with it's broken clip and nonfunctional touch screen. Hunting on eBay I see I could buy a Versa 2 for the around the same price. Is it worth the upgrade? I use my fitbit for sleep and activity tracking. I like the timer and alarms, as well as seeing alerts for calls and texts. Everything else is icing. I wouldn't mind controlling my Spotify, but not sure that would work on the older Versa 2. Opinions?

@eden2 , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message. 

Have you already contacted Support, regarding the clip and the touch screen? I recommend you to do so, if you haven't done so yet. You could see what options they have for you. 

To your main question, it all depends on your needs and your goals. 
The Sense 2 is a Smartwatch and the Charge 5 is a fitness tracker. They have very similar features and options but they have differences too. 

I suggest you to have a look at this table, where you can choose between different models to compare.

Hi @eden2 - the Versa 2 is a smart watch and should give you everything you need.

It comes with its own built-in Music controls which can control any music playing app on the phone, including Spotify.

It also has access to many different clock faces and apps, so becomes quite a powerful device.

You can choose and change straps but is a little larger than the Charge 5.
