I was looking at its features and wow there's a lot. If you have a Sense 2, do you like it? Are there any features you thought you'd use but don't?

Hi @edison65.

 

I'm currently using a Sense 2.

 

Design wise it's a very nice looking device, comfortable to wear and decent battery life. Apart from that though, I feel it to be a downgrade compared to the original Sense when it comes to features. It's lacking 3rd party apps and Google assistant, so that's worth noting if they are important to you. The stress tracking I don't find useful at all as I'm unable to find any meaningful correlation. I'm also experiencing extremely poor GPS performance where the device takes upto 10 minutes to find any satellites, and when it does the track is all over the place. I suppose this could just be an issue with my device, although I've spoken to others who have also had the same experience.

 

However if the feature set meets your needs and you aren't too worried about GPS performance, then maybe it's a good choice for you.

 

It's also worth taking the quiz on the Fitbit product page (here) as maybe one of the more basic option would suit you more?

@edison65 from the features specific to Sense 2:

 

- cEDA - I gave a go to it for a couple of weeks. I didn't find it useful but rather annoying with all the notifications. Until now, I don't know what to do with it.

 

- Google Wallet - doesn't support my cards so can't use it.

 

- Google Maps - I wrote review of that feature couple of months ago and didn't use it since (too limited, not well designed to be useful).

 

- New workout modes - this may be useful just for labeling workouts but eventually, I ended up with using generic Workout for activities like indoor rowing. They don't bring activity specific metric and icon doesn't make a difference to me.

 

Eventually, I gave Sense 2 away to my family member who had old Charge 2 (for Charge 2, this is a good upgrade) and went back to use my original Sense.
