Well my Fitbit Sense quit - gave up the ghost. I got it last Thanksgiving at a Black Friday sale. I didn't save the receipt. I wasn't expecting a $250 watch to not make it a year.
This was my first smartwatch, I've became addicted to it. I guess I will get a new smartwatch - I just don't want to have to buy a new one every 8-9 months. After being on this sub I find out they aren't that long lasting.
Looking for a replacement - any suggestions?

If bought from Fitbit or certified dealer, should be under warranty. Don't need sales receipt; Fitbit can tell when started using it. Contact Help.

Contact fitbit support. They can help you. I found the chat option to be easiest when I had a similar issue with my old fitbit.

Hi @shawinfra - my Sense is nearing 3 years.
You don't say what has happened and what lead up to the current state. There might be a simple fix.
In any case it is still under warranty.

Hi, sorry to hear that. I got my watch almost 3 years ago, also at Thanksgiving sale. The watch still works pretty good, even though at the beginning I had a lot of complaints about sleep stages not recorded. They (Fitbit) fixed that problem and now it’s working really great (except my cable needs replacement). I like Sense even better than Apple Watch. Hopefully you will receive your replacement soon
