Google Fitbit Sense 2 Health and Fitness Smartwatch with built-in GPS, advanced health features, up to 6 days battery life - Compatible with iOS 15 or higher & Android OS 9.0 or higher

I find this fitness / health tracking watch very good with many many functions. Its display is very clear and gives current status at a glance. Battery life seems good so far giving around a week per charge although it probably varies depending what is active and for how long. Its a comfortable wear for a bloke and I like the strap tucking under leaving no ends to catch everything. It takes several days to get all that it does and then some so steep learning curve! I would prefer a 'go back button' along with the main one rather than how it does its thing as some functions change without an exit option - the app is busy (now google health) lots of info there. I bought this as a Health monitor mainly as don't really do fitness, it has some very useful health functions inc. irregular heart, ECG and Afib detection capability on board which I wanted and those come with accreditation so trusted too (it is obviously excellent for fitness too though with full functions including access to a AI coach) Awesome!

I really like this model as it does what I need without a huge price tag. Notifications are good and you can take calls on your wrist which can be convenient but not a substitute for calls on a phone. Lots of accessories available and support from Google has been great when I needed help after Fitbit were moved over to Google. Lots of issues at the start but everything is working well now so I'm happy. Tracks everything I need and is compatible with several of my apps. Simple design, easy to use and not too big for my wrist. Stra that comes with is is fine but i prefer an elastic strap. Screen is clear and there are lots of ways to customise withing the app.

I loved my watch, I bought a screen protector, and a metal strap at the same time. Worth going for the metal strap, as you don't get all the gunk that you have with their straps. Within a couple of weeks the silver sensor came off the back, but it was replaced by Fitbit promptly after contacting them. My down side is that just after 2 years old, the battery started to fail. It was saying it was full, but would last 10 minutes, or it would say it's empty and when you plug it in it's then saying it's full. Not long after it went in to rebooting and then total failure. Unfortunately for me, because Amazon would not show the warranty date starting from the time it was replaced I lost out. Would I buy another, well I just did. Despite it's issues I loved the watch and it may have saved my life, because it had detected Atrial Fibrillation, which can lead to strokes so because of that my doctors are keeping a close eye on me. Give it a try. I think it's worth it.

I upgraded to sense 2 from a 7 year old Charge 2 and I have to say I love it. It does everything I personally need from a fitness tracker. Battery life lasts 6 days most of the time but can be less if using your gps. Some of the advanced features with the free trial of Fitbit premium drain the battery. I did have one glitch where the battery drained over night but I removed sp02 tracking and daily readiness, and it then went back to normal at 6 days. The ECG function is good and gps worked well when I tested it on a 9 mile walk. You have to physically turn on gps in the exercise settings which is fine, otherwise it drains the battery a bit. Yes it takes a minute or so to kick in and you can tell once it’s on as the little gps arrow is red whilst kicking in and white once on. Steps are accurate, as are the floor counting. I can take calls on my watch (once I linked it to sense 2 calls on Bluetooth) which is great as you never miss a call if you’ve left your phone in another room etc Obviously you can’t make calls or texts from it as it’s not linked to a phone contract, but I find it useful to be able to take the calls and the sound on it was fine. I personally love the Fitbit app, and the way the calorie tracking and targets work. It is glitchy occasionally but what app isn’t? That really doesn’t faze me as the data is on your watch and always syncs again once the app is fixed as long as you don’t reboot your watch during that time. In 7 years of using Fitbit I have only ever had a handful of issues with the app. The ability to change clock faces is good but it would be nice if there were more that showed battery life as a lot of them don’t. Overall, a good tracker but if you are a massive fitness fanatic who wants a lot more of the advance features some have like fall detection, quicker gps, ability to make calls etc then you may want to opt for another brand of Watch. For me though, the sense 2 is perfect for what I need.

Ok, where to start. Firstly, the watch battery lasts about 2 days. It doesn't have Google maps and when I spoke with Fitbit they told me to "install and have a good day" very professional. I tried it for walking, but activated the walk from the watch and ended up with literally no map information. Later discovered GPS has to be set to active via the watch. Sleep information won't show your heartbeat info without an £8 a month subscription. This is an important piece of information and as it is effectively my personal, sensitive information and as I bought the hardware to record it, then the information should be free to me and not held to ransom. It's funny how the app has to be connected to the internet inorder to function. This means Fitbit have my person information, but is charging me to see it... Surely, my sensitive information should be via my phone and not via a Fitbit server‽ I have to wonder why anyone but me needs my physical stats and more importantly, why! It isn't waterproof in so far as the capacitive screen goes crazy in the shower and crashes the phone, needing hard reset. It's very cheep feeling! Quite simply, out of the 4 smart watches I have had, Xiaomi, withings, amazfit have to say Fitbit is rubbish and most certainly not fit for purpose. I have had very satisfaction from this pointless piece of tat!!! Update: after a firmware, the watch no longer attached to my phone unless the app is active. This means "find my phone and notifications do not work" I truly hate this watch!!!! Do not buy, I guarantee you will be disappointed and annoyed with it!!!!

This was bought to replace a Fitbit Sense 1 which had broken. The Sense 1 was always a little finicky. Sometimes it wouldn't charge, sometimes it'd only charge halfway. The sense 1's footstep detector was wildly inaccurate. About the only thing it did well was the heartbeat thing, which was quite accurate. The Sense 2 fixes a lot of these issues, and makes for a faster, smoother experience. The Sense 1 would lag occasionally when swiping, but the Sense 2 doesn't. It's a better watch all round, I think. We both, originally, paid for the subscription, but it just didn't seem to give us anything worthwhile. Apps like Zombies Run! give you fun, cool things to do to get fit. Other apps give you recipes, or fitness ideas, or reminders etc... I just feel that the fitbit ecosystem has stagnated a little and they're just selling smartwatches/fitness trackers without evolving the experience. So, there's one thing that's the same with both, and it's still a disappointment, the app: The thing that annoyed me about the Sense 1 was that it constantly had a "disconnected from phone" icon on the screen, despite the phone sitting RIGHT THERE. What's the point of having a smart watch that can control the phone, if it only works if the app is loaded and showing on the phone's screen? I can count on one finger the number of times that I've had the Fitbit app loaded, and someone's tried to call me, and I've been able to answer it using the smart watch. The sense 2 does the same. Despite having the App on the phone, it still doesn't detect the phone unless the app is loaded. And sometimes you'll load the app, and it'll take ages for it sync with the watch, despite the watch being in the active bluetooth devices list. I know Bluetooth is a bit flakey, and not all devices are equal when it comes to supporting different profiles, but I would have thought the one thing the watch was supposed to do (exchange information with the app) would have been sorted. The watch was for my wife, and she's had no problems with it so far. She likes the features, but doesn't use much of the additional functionality. She occasionally loads the fitbit app to sync the data and see how she's been doing. but, if I'm honest, I think the App needs a major overhaul. She shouldn't have to take the watch off, and lie it next to the phone for ten minutes to sync for her to know how many steps she's taken, or for the most useful information to be buried under a dropdown, which is in a tab, under a graph, which is about four scrolls down. The app has most of what you need, but it could do with a little of a redesign I think... Perhaps find a way to let people configure their dashboard, both in the app, and on the notifications, or widgets on the home screen.

I intend just a brief review as I am new to the type of digital media that I am reviewing. My requirement was for a heart monitor app that comes with a Fitbit sense 2. To begin with I must point out that I have never owned a smart phone or smart devices. The product on the Fitbit site did not seem to specify the requirement of a smart phone. The Amazon product info for the item was low down and in small print where it was stated that you will require a smart phone but I missed it . The phone was £219.00 and a few days later became 179.00. I realised that the Fitbit would not work at all without a smart phone. Kayz who sold the item answered my question by stating all smart watches require a smart phone - thanks. This caused the purchase of a 1200.00 smart phone. As a complete newbie to using a smart phone I must therefore state that the Fitbit app on an apple phone was very user friendly and I figured it out a (fit) bit at a time. I am well into 1400.00 at this point and find upon trying to install the AF app (heart app) that if I have had health problems then I must cancel the app install and not use it. Thanks. Where was that in the info. To cut a long story short - the Fitbit works great and works really great with my iphone BUT I still had to buy a Kardia device (something else that needs a phone but at least they tell you) in order to get what I originally wanted. £1550.00 later and I am all set. Now the fitbit can apparently warn me of possible heath situations that I am interested in via notifications which is great but if I really needed this kit and was short of money then I am not sure of how good that would make me feel. Were in a new age now where a £1200 phone and a £200.00 watch DON'T come with instructions. One relies on big socialism to save the corporations from tedious time wasting on silly things like instructions. I knew how to configure wireless networks the hard way in 2002 so it came as no surprise to get the phone hooked into the internet and get the 2 devices `paired` up and the smart watch downloading so it could work but how is a pensioner expected to setup a smartphone and email to setup a smart watch. Ok if they have a smart phone already then modern software is very clever at prompting the user but this equipment should come with a health warning. I have blue tooth savy wifi mates that haven't got on with this device but I have to say I like it , I can and have spoken to this ALEXIA on the watch and find the watch strap (odd as it is) to be secure and comfortable. Once you have downloaded loaded the info to make the watch work you will be able to use some of its benefits independently. The watch seems to have no hard off ability and I am unsure of the battery life that when it ends will render it useless no doubt.

I bought this to be both a routine health tracker, nice daily watch, but also to track walks and runs. While I can't fault it in the first two categories (the screen is especially good), as a walk and run tracker it's truly awful. The GPS seems to serve mainly to estimate stride length and draw a pretty picture on the map of the activity. The actual accuracy is terrible when you look at the trace and so the distance estimate is very unreliable. For example, I did the same walk two days in a row, one with this watch, one with my old Garmin Forerunner 45. The Sense 2 overestimated the distance by nearly 1km on a 4km walk! The trace looking fairly reasonable, if not very accurate!! Distance cross checked using OS maps and the Garmin was bang on. Also when exercising the Sense 2 struggled with higher heart rates, while the Garmin was fine. Outside of the return window now so it's going to be kept as a backup (or sold on an auction site).

Really like this watch. Very function, looks slick & battery lasts for just over a week. Great for tracking your steps, heart rate and general exercise activities. Recommend for all users. The sleep tracking is great also.

Good deal at $260+. Got it as a replacement for my Sense 1.

Excellent quality, fast shipping.

Llevo cerca de un mes utilizando el Fitbit y lo primero que me ha sorprendido es la duración de la batería. Lo llevo las 24 horas del día conectado al Smartphone y la duración media supera los 6 días de uso ininterrumpido. Su punto débil sigue siendo la sincronización entre la App y el reloj, que falla habitualmente y el elevado precio que tiene, en comparación a otros modelos con similares características. Hecho en falta que no controle la presión sanguínea, cuando es capaz de detectar la saturación de oxígeno y la temperatura cutánea mientras descansas. En definitiva, creo que su precio es elevado para las prestaciones que presenta (para sacar el máximo potencial, es necesario tener la cuenta premium, la cual considero excesivamente cara), aunque la marca Fitbit es garantía de calidad y durabilidad.

Il Fitbit Sense 2 si sta dimostrando un dispositivo davvero eccellente per chi cerca un controllo completo sulla propria salute e sul benessere quotidiano. ​Ecco le caratteristiche principali che ho apprezzato: ​Funzione ECG eccellente: Uno dei punti di forza assoluti è la possibilità di effettuare l'ECG direttamente dal polso tramite l'app. È comodissima la funzione che permette di esportare il referto direttamente in formato PDF per poterlo eventualmente mostrare al medico. ​Tantissime funzioni e intuitivo: Ricchissimo di parametri e tracciamenti per la salute, ma allo stesso tempo facilissimo e fluido da usare nell'uso di tutti i giorni. ​Design e materiali: Molto bello da vedere al polso, curato nei dettagli e costruito con materiali decisamente resistenti. ​⚠️ Un piccolo ma importante appunto sulla compatibilità: Tenete a mente che se possedete uno smartphone un po' datato, alcune funzioni avanzate (come appunto la creazione e gestione dell'ECG) potrebbero non funzionare o non essere supportate dall'applicazione. Vi consiglio di verificare la compatibilità del vostro telefono prima dell'acquisto. ​Giudizio finale: Un vero top di gamma per il monitoraggio della salute. Promosso a 5 stelle.
