My beloved fitbit sense 2 is getting near the end of its life, which watch to buy next?

[liam76]

I love my sense 2 and have been using it for maybe around 3 years. It's getting to the point small damages start to accumulate so I am considering buying another watch.

Google seems to have bought fitbit to kill the brand so apparently there won't be a sense 3 to buy, but I am struggling trying to find a comparable watch from any vendor. Is it possible to find something similar or better than sense 2 in the same price range or should I just get a new sense 2?

It's very important to me that thr watch operates a long time without having to charge (I love that thr sense 2 takes 5 days sometimes until the battery runs out). I also use the running and other exercising options and want the map of the exercise to be saved on strava. If possible i would like a watch that measures oxygen saturation.

I don't use the other functions like call on wrist, google wallet, music, etc so those don't really matter.

In this forum, the only recommendation allowed is the Google Pixel Watch. (Without the post being removed.)

I have the same headache but since I’m using an iPhone now, I couldn’t switch to a Pixel Watch. But yet I couldn’t recommend anything else here…

Perhaps you could consider a Fitbit Charge 6.

Hi @liam76 - unless the watch is not functioning properly (very often the issues are with the Fitbit app or settings) there really is no need to change.

There exist screen protectors in different colours which may liven it up and protect.

But as @asiayeah says you won't get advice here and will need to look online for watches with longer battery Ife, some have 14 days.

Well that makes sense. Fitbit top brand gets bought out by Alphabet refuses to put money into the research... So sad
