Feature comparison between Sense and Sense 2?

[Phade]

Hey Everyone,

I've had my Sense 2 for 3 days and it's feeling like a massive downgrade from the original Sense.  My expectations were along the lines of: a few additional features, a slightly better UI, a slightly better processor, a slightly better battery, and a slightly better screen.

However, it now seems the Sense 2 is the opposite where it counts the most: significantly fewer features and worse UI.  

Is there a features comparison list between the Sense and Sense 2? 

I could only find comparison charts with the current lineup and not comparing previous devices.  I just want to be sure I am getting what I want out of a smartwatch.  Maybe I have the wrong one. 

Thanks!

I don't think there's any official comparison (it would be like shooting own foot) but just search the forum, there are plenty of threads comparing both devices.

If you go to the salespage for the Netherlands you can do an official Fitbit comperison

@RonaldM this certainly doesn't give a full picture. Some features are not even listed as features (for example, Sense 2 has more limited swim tracking than Sense).

@RonaldM  : Interesting!  Even that list doesn't show that "snore reporting" is in the Sense but not the Sense 2.  I guess removing the feature from the list of features makes it so they don't have to point out it's no longer a feature.  What are some other previous features not on that list that have been removed from the Sense 2?

@t.parker  : With the extensive removal of functionality, it's looking like the Sense 2 is a significant downgrade from the Sense for me.  I mainly wanted a physical button instead of the touch-sensitive button (I've accidentally cut short tracking dozens of biking trips by flexing my wrist just enough to trigger the button), all-day stress monitoring, and a fresh battery.  Any other improvements would be iceing on the cake.  Instead, I got less cake. 

My watch is returnable until the end of January.  I'll give it another week or two and see if features show back up to make the Sense 2 worth keeping.  (shakes Magic 8-Ball: Signs point to "No")
