Sense wristband keeps coming loose

Bought two Sense watches for myself and my wife. On hers, one of the strap attachments keeps coming loose. On close inspection, the plastic clip on one side is missing its spring, so it doesn’t stay in place and the band slips out. This seems like a ...

Sense adding steps and stairs

I just bought the SENSE 3 days ago. It tracks steps and stairs way more than i actually do. And sometimes the app won't let me add a "driving" exercise to override it. Everything is updated and i shouldn't have to restart or reset a device i bought l...

Resolved! Bands recommendations for Sense similar to Ionic's bands style

I had to "upgrade" from the Fitbit Ionic to a Sense because my Ionic was becoming difficult to charge and was acting flaky in other ways that re-installing/re-pairing couldn't fix.   The Sense is an OKAY replacement, I guess, but the wrist band is a ...

How do I wear my Fitbit sense?

I know you're suppose to wear the fitbit a finger width from your wrist bone and that it's suppose to be able to move up and down (but I don't like it too loose that it's moving up and down. I just find it irritating.  )   I've been wearing elastic b...

Feedback about Fitbit Sense Wristband

Is anyone finding that the wristband that comes standard with the Sense is not functional?   If I use the smaller band I have very little overlap and no play to tuck under. Haven't worn it that way yet  but  I would think that design would be very un...

Sense got lost in lake while sailing

My son was on a Laser Pico sailboat Tuesday. The boat capsized, as dinghies do, and when he righted... only the fresh imprint of the holes of the Sense sport watch band remained on his wrist. It's distressing to think his nearly brand new, prized pos...
