The menu navigation if you swipe left or right with the widgets are quite illogical. When you tap for instance on the sleep widget, which just shows the time and the sleep score, you get transferred to the today menu, which shows you...the time and sleep score again. Why not showing us the different sleep phases? The problem is with the other widgets too. Or tiles how Fitbit calls it. The only useful one when you click on it is the weather widget, which shows detailed information. I hope there will be an update soon, to make the widgets more useful.

Hi @Jannis1980 - there is quite a bit of missing functionality on the Sense 2, quite why it was released with basic things missing is a mystery. It may be that Fitbit wasn't allocated the resources to do it so it may never come.

@Jannis1980 I do agree that it's a very limited UI functionality, especially comparing with original Sense when Today app was a lot more advanced. For me, Sense 2 is just a very boring watch. There is very little a user can do with it via its UI. One time my wife borrowed it to try and after her workout she wanted to see some workout insights and that was disappointing that it wasn't possible (simply, she wanted to check HR and calories burnt by that specific workout). There is no any indication of last workout in the Today app, there is no dedicated tile. I remember that original Sense was showing some overview of exercises its the Today app but this is gone on Sense 2. I think it's just for cheaper and shorter development. Easier to point a user towards mobile app for more data than display something on the watch screen.

You are right, it reminds me a bit to the GT watches of Huawei, where you even can't click on the widgets,and Huawei is since years not changing anything, even when changing the OS from LiteOS to Harmony OS. I hope Fitbit will give us an update which makes the tiles more useful with detailed information.
I myself want to have as many information on the watch directly, l and not constantly to check the app for more details.
