Sense 2 phone compatibility [Bluetooth 5.0]

[Guy_]

To use this watch on a phone it states Android 10 or iOS 14 is required.

However preempting an issue, anyone with an older watch without Bluetooth 5.0 who has upgraded to Android 10 or iOS 14 may still not be able to use this watch, even though specs say for syncing

"Syncing requires Bluetooth® LE, an internet connection and location permissions granted on the phone"

@Guy_   Many current Fitbits have Bluetooth 5.0 (Sense. Versa 3, Charge 5, Luxe, I stopped looking).  I don't see an issue.

@LZeeW- while it is true the Sense can support Bluetooth 5.0, Fitbit makes a specific point of reporting Bluetooth 5.0 for the Sense 2 while they didn't for the Sense.

Might it actually mean only Bluetooth 5.0 exclusively?

See what is quoted on their site for the 2 watches.
