Is it going to be a Sense 3?

[asiayeah]

Fitbit Sense 2 was released in the same time frame as Google Pixel Watch. 

Now we have Pixel Watch 2 and then 3 already. Will we get a new Fitbit Sense 3 at all?

I can’t use Pixel Watch as I am using iPhone.

Welcome back to the Fitbit Community, @asiayeah.

Thanks for sharing your question in regards if we will have or not a Sense 3, I'm glad you got youself a Pixel Watch 2 and 3.

As you know, we are constantly working on new devices and features to help people live healthier lives. We don’t have news to share at this time, but you’ll be among the first to know when we do.

The battery life on pixel 3 looks sad, and it's missing many health related features I rely on.. It's not a viable replacement at all for a Sense...  Pixel 3 looks more like a smart watch than a fitness and health device.  I'm looking at Garmin now.  While more expensive, a superior alternative.  It seems very strange that the Fitbit product line, historical and large user base, and better features was not properly integrated into the Google ecosystem.

Well.....in all fairness, the PW3 is a smart watch with health tracking features versus Fitbit which is a dedicated health tracker.  And with the exception of the new Ultras from Apple and Samsung and some off brand Chinese watches, most smart watches require recharging pretty much daily......

I did not get a Pixel Watch. Thanks.

Google has pretty much confirmed the answer is No.

I totally understand your position. I have a Sense 2, which is a great device, and was hoping for a Sense 3 with additional or better features. When my Sense 2 dies, I'm switching to an Apple Watch. I hate rectangular watches, but the information and display features on the Apple Watch are far superior to those on round watches. I think Google is making a mistake by offering only round displays. My next "watch" will be a thin, lightweight rectangular device that monitors blood glucose and blood pressure in real time, in addition to the health features that the Sense 2 already has. Price is not an issue, as I would expect to wear this device for 3-6 years, so even at a price tag of $600, my monthly cost would be less than $10 in the end.

Thks for your reply to my post which was removed by fitbit as not contributing to the topic. The intention of my post was to inform users on this forum and Fitbit that the Sense 1 which I still have but is approaching it's  end of life, was a great smart watch because it combined long battery time and a readable screen with sports tracking, health tracking and smart watch (fitbit pay + has some good apps, f.ex for golfing) capabilities. Main weakness is that measurements of puls of activities is inaccurate, but a Sense 3 with Fitbits new generation more accurate sensors would not have that problem. That's why a I would like a Sense 3. However, I also expressed my discontent over features removed (Web page and app) reducing the value of the app. I.e. I am not only interested in a Sense 3, but also in having features back, .f.ex. the Web interface to allow admin of activities,as the Fitbit Google ecosystem not anymore is as open from a practical perspective ( i.e. automatic sync of data with 3rd party apps) as some of the competitors. Without a Sense 3 the Fitbits and PW's program is not very competitive for my needs.
