Grey/Graphite only. Not sure how long this sale will last.

Edit - Looks like the deal was live for about 6 hours -- from about 2 a.m. until about 8 a.m.

Same price here on the fitbit store

Can't believe they are DUMPING already. I ordered one day one and returned it. I'd be pissed if a few weeks later it was $100 off..They know it's a bomb as evidenced by no attempt to fix the thing in firmware... At this point I wouldn't buy one at $99

The Amazon deal was $80 for the Sense 2. The mods quietly removed that information from the title and content of my initial post.

@PRT940 that looks more like somebody's mistake when setting the price so that's why it was changed after just a few hours. From what I see, Sense 2 is discounted in the US Amazon by $100. UK offers in in the full price 🙄 most expensive basic fitness tracker in the market.

I just followed the link and it still says $100 off list or $199 discount price. I'm a Prime member so perhaps that's why.  HOWEVER, a discount that deep for a new 'flagship' product on Amazon is a huge red flag IME. Virtually every 'popular' item on Amazon with discounts above 25% has been critically defective to the point of having to return it. This watch is no exception. I'm getting ready to box up and send mine back after I write this as it does not come anywhere near what was advertised.

It could've been a price mistake, sure. Some folks are speculating that the $80 deal was supposed to be for the Inspire 3 instead of the Sense 2. But many people, including myself, took advantage of the $80 deal during those 6 hours or so (thanks goes to Slickdeals.net for spreading the word). If you don't believe me, just check eBay to see how many people are flipping brand new Sense 2s at around $130-$150 (or higher).

And I'm old enough to remember back in 2016 when the Charge 2 was released at $150, Amazon had it on sale for $115 the very next day for a limited time.

I got a $80 Sense 2 too. It's worth it to me to try Premium for 6 months and the ECG. I'm a Garmin guy so wearing both right now to compare data. I'm hoping for a software update because if I'd paid full price, Id be pretty upset right now. The firmware seems half finished. I had the Versa 1 a few years ago and it was much more stable than the Sense 2.
So many rhetorical mysteries; do I have snoring? what do those all-day mood prompts do? where are all the apps? why does removing tiles in the app do nothing in the watch? where's the daily heart graph? why no in-depth users manual? why is the speaker so bad?....and so many more.

The fact they are dumping this soon instead of trying to update the watch is a clear sign this is all she wrote. You don't discount $100 a few weeks after release. They are sitting on massive stock and need to move it.90% return rate

At this point I would have been pissed if I paid $80 for that Cracker Jack prize. Thankfully I got an RMA and dropped off the return at the FedEx store with just a couple days before the deadline. I can't imagine how bummed these Ebay bidders will end up being when they realize Google's infamous reputation for torpedoing their products after a lot of people have already invested gobs of time and energy in them.
