Would I recommend the Sense? Yes, I think I would, but not all that sure based on one issue I'm having.
The heart rate monitor does a much better job than my previous Ionic during exercise activities. I mostly cycle for exercise, and I wear a chest strap for monitoring heart rate along with a bike app on my iPhone. Before, when I used the Ionic in conjunction with the strap and app, there was a huge differential between the two methods of measuring heart rate. Now, the sense is much closer to the results from the chest strap.
Sleep tracking I feel is better as well. It appears to be more accurate than the Ionic. Well, let's put it this way, it is much more sensitive to the various sleep stages during the night.
Main issue: This is my second Sense, as the first one I had was plagued with problems. The new one I'm using now since last week seems to operate properly, except for one area, EDA Scan. After setting it up when I received it, the EDA Scan worked right off the bat. It gave me a score that I never got with the first Sense. Great, I thought. But ever since that first day I'm getting no more score indications at all. I called CS and they suggested I reset the watch as new, which did not require waiting for a software download as from the original setup. So, I performed and EDA Scan this morning, and still no score etc.
The questions that arise for me now: Is it the old iPhone (6s+) that I'm using, which, by the way, is updated to the latest iOS software, or is it just simply due to being an iPhone and not an Android device? I'm asking that because Fitbit is now owned by Google, which is Android supportive. I'm certainly not going to jump ship to an Android phone just to use the EDA Scan feature of the Fitbit Sense.
Other than that, I can't say for sure, unless others who perhaps use an Android phone wouldn't mind chiming in.
