My wife and I ordered our Fitbit Sense watches Friday night from Best Buy.  They arrived today,(Monday), by USPS.  Sorry to those who preordered and are still waiting.  

 

Now, I’m not a carry my phone type of person.  For as long as there has been iPads, I’ve always had an iPad with me. I realize I’m not the norm so this review will not seem that important to most.  With that said, this has been by far the easiest setup I’ve ever encountered when setting up a Fitbit on an iPad.  I have had the Blaze, Ionic, and the Versa 2.  None of them would work with an iPad even though it was listed as an approved device.  I would always have to use an old iPhone to do the initial setup, firmware updates, changing watch faces, and updating any push data.  They would however, keep my steps synced 75% of the time.

 

My new Sense is working 100% perfect with my iPad right out of the box.  Syncing, changing watch faces, weather, firmware update,  it all works.  I am pleasantly surprised to say the least.  For those curious, I’m using an iPad Pro 11inch with the latest iPadOS 14 running.  I hope this info is useful to someone out there.  Thanks for reading!

Thanks for sharing this information, @Jnesbitt82 . Like you said, your review may not be important to most ... but for those in a similar situation, your review may be very important.
