What would you recommend to do with the Sense 2?

[SpiritMommaLeah]

In a very short message does anyone recommend returning (how long do we have to return a fitbit) their new sense 2 and getting a pixel watch? I wanted to be able to make calls listen to my music and have all the benefits of the fitbit. 

Any recommendations would be amazing. 

I feel cheated in a way from my original sense.

Similarly to what @rbittman said.

If you are more into smartwatch than fitness (and you don't bother to charge it every day), if you have an iPhone go to Apple Watch, if you have Android go to Pixel Watch (initial reviews are very good).

If you are more into fitness and don't want to charge your watch every day I think you should consider other brands.

The return policy differ from the country and retailer you bought it. The online store I bought it has a 30 days return policy (original packaging, no questions asked, no return shipping costs). 

As a health watch the Sense 2 is still loaded with sensors (skin temp, cEDA, etc), the continuous AFib monitoring, ECG (FDA/CE approved) and 4 to 6 days battery life. The "On-wrist Bluetooth calls" feature will come in a later release, so listening to music will be the only thing missing in the long run. 

The new Pixel watch doesn't even come close.

There are not many competitors I guess who offer all of these features in such a small device. And accuracy of all the features can be discussed and is also limited as in most wrist watches/trackers. But Fitbit did manage to get some functions certified so they must be doing something right. 😊

@Dopovo I read several reviews of Pixel Watch and it seems to disappoint. Mostly the Fitbit integration isn't that great, GPS has issues (already flagged as a known issue by Google), and battery life is probably worse than expected (one of the reviewers waking up to a dead watch, and couldn't track sleep despite leaving 30% of battery as Google advised). At best, reviews say it's a good first attempt.

@t.parker 

DC Rainmaker was much more positive actually, both regarding GPS and HR, not sure what you watched it.

I read Verge, Engadget, Android Police and a few more that came up in my feed. DCRainmaker also emphasizes the same tone: "The Pixel Watch is a promising start, but it’s just that – a start", nothing mindblowing. The GPS issue that the Verge reviewer experienced is a known issue that Fi...Google is working on it (sounds familiar, doesn't it? this is what they have been told after contacting Google). Anyway, I'm gonna get Pixel Watch to test it as reviews are one thing, own experience another. My expectations are really low right now so I may even like it.

Did you ever get it to review it? I'm really debating on switching right now.
