    So the Google Store is selling a brand new smartwatch and I have one right here, but I’m not talking about the Pixel Watch. You see, Google acquired Fitbit and here we have the Fitbit Sense 2, but that leads to some questions. For Google fans, what can this tell us about the Pixel watch? For fitbit fans, how does this compare to the previous Sense, and for general enthusiasts, how good is this new device as a general smartwatch? The spec sheets look fantastic, with a 6 day battery, the latest health tracking capabilites such as an ecg, heart rate, gps, and more. And a lot more we will discuss in this video, but that is not the full story. There is a negative twist that I want to talk about.

      I think your assessment is spot on! I hope Google will let the consumer decide what form factor they like best. For a smart watch, I like a rectangular form factor for consuming information. Since Google owns both companies, I guess the profit hits the primary bottom line, but to ruin a product that alot of people like more than your current offering, does not make good business sense. Google purchased Fitbit because they had a somewhat good customer base and now they sacrifice it for their girl looking watch.. Im a little up set honestly.

    Very good and fair review. I've had Fitbits for a couple of years, and i do like them. On the Sense, I really like the new physical button, the snappier interface (believe me, it IS faster than the old versions!), the stress feature (maybe; actually it might be more annoying than anything else), and the sleep tracking, which is quite in-depth, relative to Apple or other watches. I do worry that Fitbit is being left behind now that the Pixel watch is on the scene. I actively dislike the form factor of the Pixel watch, and I hate the 18h battery life. Note that Fitbit's battery will last 6 days for most users. I just hope you and other reviewers are incorrect that we can't expect any improvements to this watch. We will see!

      With always on off, I took my Pixel watch off charger at 4AM. It is 8 Pm now and I'm at 19%. Not impressed. ECG rarely works, crashes a lot and the watch looks tiny on my small man wrists. Pixel watch does have a nice screen and LTE is reliable when using, GPS gets signal fast. Interface is also fast. The crown is small and hard to manipulate.
      Fitbit Sense 2 still has a lot going for it in my opinion, it just needs faster Gps acquisition and offline syncing to be a winner in my book

Got tired of the paywall and tired of the promise to get certain features that never happened. As I am an Android user, I decided to go with a Garmin. Can't wait for my new watch!

Fitbit: The Sense 2 has potential, but it remains to be seen if it reaches it fully with updates over time; personally, I'm willing to wait it out (I have a Sense 2). The Quantified Scientist has some good reviews as does Mike here. You can choose the tracker you want based on what matters most to you (health tracking versus more athletic focus).

    I wasn't going to get the Fitbit 2 until Google upgraded the software to get Google pay and Google assistant. But I checked Mike's link to Amazon and there was a flash Amazon sale for $79.99 so I immediately bought it. Now its back up to the original sale price of $199. So I saves $220 off of the regular price. So I don't mind waiting for the update with that kind of savings.

It is a great watch and build that I love which makes me kinda happy but I don't like wearing Googles stepchild. Google is famous for dropping products which makes me think the Sensa 2 will have a very short life span. I could have spent that 200.00 on a worthy watch. I do love the find my phone feature and want to love the take calls. It only worked one time very well. The other times it has always flacked out. Thanks for such a wonderful review!

I just feel like Apple is putting more focus into their smartwatches, and as you said, Google has been neglecting the Fitbit products for a while now. The Fitbit App itself also has not had a major update in years and is way behind on feel. Half the time my Versa 2 isn’t even connected to my phone

    it's now a stepchild for sure. I bought then returned unopened the pixel watch due to missing fitbit features vs. sense and poor battery. hoping pixel v2 fixes those - adds all missing sense tracking features, adds a temp sensor and bigger version with bigger battery (and hopefully newer processor with lower power consumption). at that point, sense 2 isn't needed by google. already you can tell they stopped work or pulled features in deference to the pixel watch. the fitbit software is pretty good / comprehensive so they'll make that more seamless with pixel watch in v2. then, the sense is a dead end, long live the sense. will hold on to my sense 1 until pixel watch v2 and then hopefully make the jump. if not, may have to get a garmin epix although lack of LTE and voice call answering (speaker / mic) hamper me there. I could do without some of the google features that I love but would prefer to see a home run in pixel watch v2.

    Very rightly said its become like a step child and now with Fitbit clarifying that there is going to be no 3rd party app support , it really isn't a smart watch anymore. There is no wifi, calendar, calculator, no music controls, Spotify, Starbucks and other bunch of apps it had. Feel cheated after buying sense 2 that there will be no 3rd party apps. The clock faces are very limited whatever Fitbit provides. Fitbit pay has very little banks association outside the US and here in India, there has been no Fitbit Pay till today. They say they are expanding that has never happened. Sense2 was supposed to be Fitbit's flagship and now it seems to be reduced to just a fitness tracker and there is not much difference between Versa 3 and Sense2. This could be the start of the end of Fitbit. Apart from the great battery life, display and how comfortable it is, there is clearly no justification for its price tag. I would see if I can return it and it will be an end to 12 year association with Fitbit devices.

    Feels to me like Fitbits are losing features and getting worse with each iteration. The Fitbit Ionic had physical buttons, an okay app gallery, and onboard music. The Sense 1 is incompatible with some of the apps in the gallery available to Ionic (because of lack of buttons), no standalone onboard music storage, and no proper button. The Sense 2 doesn't seem to come with any third party apps at all! Still no music storage! It's like a 'smartwatch' but without the smart. It's a bizarre marketing strategy.

    To be honest, this feels like a product they were contractually obligated to produce somehow. It feels like Fitbit already had it in the works when the sale went through.
    I got a Charge 5 recently, so I'm not really in the market for this, but a Fitbit device with the Google Assistant and Google apps would be right up my alley. It makes a lot more sense to me than the Pixel watch with Fitbit software on it. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but it's a matter of focus. Having the fitness stuff in the foreground on a smartwatch just makes more sense to me. The only other thing a smartwatch really does well is getting notifications.
    For some reason, I've never been able to get Fitbits to measure my distance correctly in exercises, regardless of whether I'm using my phone or a built-in GPS (as on the Charge 5). I think it's because I'm in a wheelchair. That seems to throw the Walk exercise off. I've had mixed results with Bike, too.

    Which would you recommend, this watch for $299, or the original sense + 1yr of premium for $150 using my recall discount? Is the haptic button on the original sense bad enough to pay the extra for the sense 2?

      @ahefner33 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I would go with the sense one. Watching this video I don't see anything different than the other one. Maybe the processor is faster but it's something you don't really see. Plus all those features he names you have to pay the monthly subscription as you know the premium. So honestly if I were you I would just stick with the sense and maybe wait until sense 2 comes down.

      I had the Versa 3 for 3 weeks and hated that haptic button. Had to press at just the right angle and only worked 50% of the time. Was so excited for button to come back on the 4, until I found out that Fitbit was changing so many other things. Went with a Garmin instead.

    How about Fitbit omitting all the third party apps on the new watches? You didn't mention that at all. Third party apps were available for earlier Versa and Sense versions but not anymore for Sense 2 and Versa 4. Fitbit totally is the neglected step child which will eventually be left all alone.

    Google should make two pixel watches now… one cheaper 200$ line (may be slightly better version of this fitbit line) and another the high-end robust pixel watch with 300$ line. The new pixel watch is i think over priced because i feel like it wont be able to justify the price although we are yet to see how good or bad it is.

    I think your assessment is spot on! I hope Google will let the consumer decide what form factor they like best. For a smart watch, I like a rectangular form factor for consuming information. Since Google owns both companies, I guess the profit hits the primary bottom line, but to ruin a product that alot of people like more than your current offering, does not make good business sense. Google purchased Fitbit because they had a somewhat good customer base and now they sacrifice it for their girl looking watch.. Im a little up set honestly.

Also those fancy clock faces aren't as easy to use as you show, you must download or buy at other online stores and keep track because it doesn't have any sort of library on your account purchases. They're all over the place. It's hard to even find half the stuff this entire OS sucks

They replaced twice!-Needs a glass back like galaxy and others! 3. The holes for charging get clogged with dead skin- again, use a magnetic charger! 4. 3+ years promise more banks will sign on for Fitbit credit...None did!!! 5. Promise of more apps and watch faces! Yah right! Loved Fitbit but now I have a Galaxy! I love the Fitbit app and premium ...It is by far better than apples and the coaching addition is awesome, but the cost is way too much! They will strip out design features and keep the app for the Google! We need, O2 all night and on demand, blood sugar, blood pressure and temp...all free feature that can be sent to Doctor!

    Unfortunately, Fitbit stopped making progress from Versa and Sense point of view after Versa 2, to be polite. Missing functionality, no 3rd party apps and tiles changed to a list, and over-sensitive setup of time or options on the watch, and you can't turn off the screen witha button anymore. Not to mention other issues with, for example, setting up Fitbit/Google Pay. I bought Sense 2. It's a half-product and I wouldn't have it for free! It's so rubbish. If only I could have it with Versa 2 software, that would make it a great watch again. It doesn't feel like Fitbit do care anymore. If it doesn't change, Versa 2 is my last Fitbit product after 9 years of being a loyal user.
