Just switched from the original Sense as battery was getting bad. Obviously a few things to get used to with the new device but wondering...

 

1) No agenda app. Can we please add/fix this? It's pretty basic and is/was shown in some of the marketing materials for the Sense 2. Pretty please?

 

2) Double press button shortcut. I don't see a way to edit this feature so I'm guessing it's gone.... Would be nice to select which action to engage when you double press instead of the 4 apps view by default.

 

3) Notifcations previews. On my old sense, I could see which notifications came in without going right to their details. On this one, it seems it goes automatically to the details without me selecting/pressing on the notifications. Is there something I'm missing to change this?

 

4) "coming soon" features. Would be lovely to get an update on what soon means. Hoping the maps and wallet are on the way before the holidays. and while we're at it, can we add google assistant again?

 

Feedback from other owners welcomed. Fitbit mod, please don't tell me to vote on things. I have already.

I don't have much to add but for Point 2, from what I understand, the double-press shortcut was primarily designed to be used when we're using the Exercise app. That way we would be able to do things (eg. see notifications) without having to end the workout. Quite useful.  That being said, I do agree it would be nice to have the option to decide the behavior (when you double press) that works best for you. Choice is good.

 

Mostly agree with what you've said especially Points 1 and 4! By now I've lost hope we would ever get third-party apps back (Google probably doesn't want to run 2 different wearable app stores: the Wear OS apps and Fitbit App Gallery), but I still wish for Google Assistant to be back. They should have just taken away third-party apps (NOT that I would've been happy about it) but kept other features if they were scared of competition against Pixel Watch. (The ability of Fitbit devices to run third-party apps is really the only thing that comes close to threatening Pixel Watch's "smartwatch" status.) But they overdid it and now many unhappy people have turned away from Fitbit

 

Moderator Edit: Word choice.
