Is it worth to upgrade from Ionic to Sense?

[djr1010412]

I have an Ionic which is about 3 years old. Generally, I am happy with it. But I am beginning to have issues with syncing it and some issues charging it. Mostly, at this point, those are irritants. I also have Premium. I really like all the health information and the music (Pandora,mostly) I can use with it. But I am starting to look at other options. How does the Sense compare? Is it a good upgrade? Are any of the accessories interchangeable - bands, charging cables, etc? Any info would be appreciated. TIA

@djr1010412   Here is some information that I hope will help you decide.  BTW, I wear a Versa 3 and my husband wears a Sense.  The Versa 3 is considered the replacement model for the Ionic, as far as features go.  The Sense adds the stress management features and the ECG app.  This article in the Fitbit Blog explains the stress management feature well.  I can't give you any personal experience, because my husband doesn't use this feature.  The ECG app is helpful if you fall into a category of people who are at risk for developing atrial fibrillation.  The ECG app isn't available everywhere - list of countries.  My husband does use this feature because he is in A fib some of the time, but not all of the time.  His cardiologist likes the information.

The Ionic charger doesn't work with the Sense/Versa 3 (they use the same charger).  A Sense comes wit hits own charger.  You Ionic bands aren't interchangeable, either.  The Sense/Versa 3 use the same bands.

I don't know if you put your personal music on your Ionic or not.  Neither the Sense nor the Versa 3 let you load personal music.  You can still use Pandora.

I don't consider this to be all inclusive.  I hope others chime in with opinions.
