Does Sense store music files as per my current fitbit device or do I have to use Deezer or Spotify?

[SunsetRunner]

Thinking of upgrading my ionic but getting mixed messages re Sense. Would anyone who has upgraded from Ionic to Sense let me know if it is worth it? And I can not see on the blurb whether music files can be saved to the device as I have on my Ionic or are you forced down the external app route?

Hi @SunsetRunner - if you want to replace the great Ionic and want on the watch music a Versa 2 is the way to go. The Sense is a great watch but currently suffers from a number of issues, faulty chargers, no on watch music without a Deezer subscription, [Spotify requires a phone even with premium], and the app is most disappointing [thought to be fair Sense is not listed as supported on their site], inaccurate heart rate and floors and recently due to a bug, poor battery life. Apart from the GPS a Versa 2 would be a much better choice if you wish to stay with Fitbit.

Hi @SunsetRunner.

It's not possible to store your own music on the Sense. However it's possible to store offline music with Pandora and Deezer, Spotify doesn't allow offline playback (it's basically just a remote control).

Thank you for the feedback. I may hold off on replacing. My ionic is still
working great accept for the decreasing battery life. A common Google
method for trying to force upgrades.

Thanks. That does. Not work for me so I may just stick with the ionic till
Google completely destroy it battery life then move on to another product.
Sad as I have supported Fitbit since day 1 but I think the sale to Google
have destroyed it.

HI Neil, yes hold on to the Ionic like a treasure, forgot to mention the very poor vibrate on a Sense.

The battery issue may not even be a watch problem if it was sudden.

The newer watches are suddenly experiencing it after updates, so if you did an update recently that might be the issue. [ It can even be influenced but a newer Fitbit App release]

Cheers, I convinced the battery life is being managed down to try a force
an upgrade.
