Do Sense 2 or Versa 4 allow entry of glucose?

[Colinm39]

I have finally had to upgrade the best watch I have ever had, the Ionic. My bank told me today that FitPay has stopped and in the Ionic I cannot get Google Wallet installed. I also use Fitbit Premium. I'm 84 and the watch was a great help for my health, the Fitbit quiz replacement recommended the Versa 4 or Sense 2. Do these allow entry of Glucose

@Colinm39   You will continue to use the same Fitbit app and log your glucose just like you are doing now.

On the surface, the Versa 4 is closer to the Ionic.  The Sense 2 has the ECG and EDA (stress management) hardware.  I wrote on the surface, because I think that the Sense 2/Versa 4 heart rate monitor is less accurate at higher heart rates.  The built in GPS on the Ionic is also far superior.

I thought the Ionic was recalled a couple of years ago? At least mine was.

@Rge   You are right.  All Ionics were recalled in 2022.  I don’t know if Fitbit is still honoring refund requests, so I didn’t mention it.

I was just wondering how any one could still have a functioning Ionic 2 years after the recall. My understanding was they were disabled as part of the recall.

Just curious-

Hi and thanks, just what I needed. At my age now, I'm having to use a
walker designed for outdoor terrain like parks etc, so the slight problem
with the GPS doesn't concern me. On some of my walks to get step accuracy,
I put the Ionic around my ankle. I make sure it's on the inside so that I
pick up the heart rate.

This is what a Fitbit nerd can do after 13 years of various Fitbits..

Correct, in Australia, our Consumer Affairs still shows a 40% refund for the recalled Ionic. I statistically decided in my 80's it was worth a risk based on the low incidence of failures. Hard to believe how long I have had it. I had the Surge before the Ionic.

Google gradually disabling it because my Ionic will not allow Google Wallet.  I had been using Fitbit Pay for years.. If you are all happy, the Versa 4 will give me what I have had on the Ionic, I'm happy.. I can relax.

This is the best answer, I accidentally tapped the wrong one. Now corrected.

Thanks, all up and working with Versa 4 within 24 hours.
