Fitbit Sense 2 Review | 7 things to know!

[@carloleia123]

Great video! In my short experience with Sense 2, after less than a month of use, the battery is not lasting a full 24 hours. I am not using any of the high battery draining apps. returning the watch right away for this reason.

[@Lexro_]

I also have it but for me the battery last like 5 days

[@innosanto]

No the battery lasts several days.

[@carloleia123]

@Lexro and @innosanto Thank you for your replies. Indeed, there must have been something wrong with that one. They asked me to do a lot of stuff in the watch and at last the battery started to last longer.

[@yanni2737]

Google and maps are here and make a massive difference!

[@innosanto]

If you have iphone maps are not there And google (assistant) is not there but google wallet

[@angiej7078]

My versa 3 has been buggy during high intensity excercise it often loses the ability to track heart rate. I have the choice of staying with the versa 3 or upgrading and getting half off the versa 4 or sense 2. Which of the three has best heart rate tracking?

[@Pohmetolog]

I came to a conclusion, they take features away from watches so that they could sell new watches, Charge 4 has some features that charge 5 does not. Sense 2 has some features that sense 1 doesnt and sense 1 has some features that sense 2 does not, however its needed in order to sell sense 3? what else can one add to a sense 3? of course they might add third party apps again or perhaps music control or maybe a calculator lol

[@innosanto]

No those would be mistakes yhe good with fitbit is it does not cause distractions like third party apps do. They can continue same direction and increase sensors and health capabilities such as blood pressure sensor or blood glucose sensor in future.

[@payperview714]

As i am a watch guy, i really dont want to wear two watches..but thinking wear this on arm for workouts and sleep..anyone know if a band for that exists?

[@STAGFITNESS]

Have you considered picking up a whoop?

[@payperview714]

@@STAGFITNESS yes, have to research it a bit

[@ObiWanBillKenobi]

Google owns Fitbit. Google Assistant was present on the Sense 1 and is not present on its successor, Sense 2. And this makes sense how? 💢

[@STAGFITNESS]

It's very strange, it's like Google wanted to keep those features for the pixel watch only.

[@jm-xq4bf]

Hi I'm going swimming does the sense 2 count lengths when ur swimming

[@bryonybradford5231]

Does it continuously monitor your heart rate or only ever so often?

[@christophersmith49]

Who f cFea a out exercise mixes. When I work out I work out. Don't have time playing with watch. All I want is my heart rate oxygen and would be great if they figure out either a separate device you can connect to or the watch doing it to measure blood pressure. All the rest is gimick crap you don't need. I also don't want my cell phone forward calls to the watch. Hell no. I want peace and even have my cell all texts on silent.

[@tampaolo79]

💯!!!!!!! I couldn’t have said it any better !!!!!!!

[@markbyrd5764]

I am 63 years old but recently starting taking a beta-blocker to lower my heart rate as the anti-depressant I am on raises it significantly. With this I am no longer reaching my target heart rate for my age. My target heart rate now seems to be closer to 110 bpm and thus the FitBit is not registering my workouts correctly. Am I able to adjust settings for this issue?

[@STAGFITNESS]

I found this from Fitbit support. Tap on your profile picture on your mobile app Tap on Activity & Wellness Tap on Heart Settings Tap on Heart Rate Zones in the Exercise section Toggle Custom Max Heart Rate to ON Hopefully that helps.

[@Darthan81]

Hey. It has a really bad battery life when you use the GPS. Is there anyway to use the GPS on the phone and the pile etc from the Fitbit?

[@markyakubovsky3380]

Good question.. I just ordered the versa 2 and was thinking the same thing..

[@alexanderbutcher8895]

Hi can’t seem to get the weather or messages to work any ideas please it’s so frustrating

[@STAGFITNESS]

I would try resetting the device and make sure notifications are switched on in the app. Otherwise contact support as if you've just got it then you should be able to send it back.

[@IanSutcliffe-p6d]

Can you turn sound up 3:43

[@DianePotter-fs3ew]

What size of battery

[@maximilianyuen]

a bit disappointed no talking about the pay wall premium service.

[@STAGFITNESS]

I'll be sure to include it in all videos from now on. If you have any questions please let me know

[@cookingonthecorsican8733]

Can you please tell me as there any way to make the font size larger thank you

[@STAGFITNESS]

Unfortunately to my knowledge you cannot increase the size of the font on the sense 2.

[@cookingonthecorsican8733]

@@STAGFITNESS thank you anyway

[@gregzaks6649]

I just bought the watch 2 days ago and noticed it switched off during exercise. It switched off when I was doing 20 mins hiit just after 5 minutes, switched off during workout after 3 minutes, switched off during walk after 20 minutes whilst doing 40. Then I did 7 minutes hiit again to check, and this was recorded whole. I am no longer certain whether I should keep it or send it back? Would be most grateful for your feedback 😅

[@STAGFITNESS]

Personally I would send it back if you are having issues to get a refund. Googles conference is next month on the 4th October. So I would wait to see what they unveil, as if they do announce new Fitbits you will save some money on the Sense 2.

[@dorothymillwood2536]

How do I get my sleep data on the watch? Do I have to wear the watch for a month for the data to be gather?

[@Lexro_]

You can see it in the app on your phone, use it for 4 full days before receiving the complete data of your sleep track

[@peterhughes2091]

Hi, I’ve had a look around and can’t find it so I wonder if anyone has a figure of just how bright the screen is ie how many nits or lumens it is. Thanks. Peter

[@STAGFITNESS]

Haven't got the exact stats unfortunately, but its bright in daylight conditions

[@innosanto]

It has very good screen.

[@amoghkatkar6436]

I can't find music play pause in sense 2

[@bryanoooopj]

Great review. Do you know does the Sense 2 track your heart rate while swimming? I regularly swim up to 4km at a time and would like to use it to monitor my heart rate. Thanks in advance for any information

[@STAGFITNESS]

Thanks the optical sensor does not track in swim mode because refractions from the water can impact the heart rate reading. Hope that helps

[@rakshananbu2766]

Which one did you got? I'm also looking for a fitness tracker with the same specifications

[@bryanoooopj]

@@rakshananbu2766 I just got the Sense 2 as a present. Still haven't gotten a swim watch I'm afraid

[@maval316]

I'm torn between upgrading to the Sense 2 or Versa 4, but after seeing this video, I'm debating the Sense? Is there a difference between the Sense, and Sense 2 other than that the 2 doesn't have 3rd party apps and Google assistant?

[@STAGFITNESS]

The sense 2 has faster software over the sense and no longer has the stainless steel option. Go with the sense 2 if you are going to use the extra health features otherwise stick with the versa 4. If you can find the sense at a great price then it's still a good option as the price difference between the sense and the sense 2 is not a lot

[@innosanto]

It has bigger battery, more exercise options, the button, continuous EDA tracking while sense has nightly option only, and will continuw to be supported by fitbit while sense will be discontinued support.

[@WorkingOnMax]

How's the heartrate and calorie burning tracking/accuracy on the Sense 2 compared to other watches?

[@STAGFITNESS]

the heart rate tracking is good and regarding the calorie tracking all watches use there own algorithym to calculate calories burned but its been on point

[@innosanto]

VO2max is more accurate on fitbit than on apple watch.

[@daviesc20]

Does the gps work automatically on the sense 2 watch or do you have to manually activate it?

[@janamour_13]

The Sense 2 has no GPS integrated. This is only possible if the smartphone is with you and can then be activated there in the Fitbit app.

[@ricklubbers1526]

​@@janamour_13straight up lies. It does have integrated GPS. You dont need your phone.

[@medgasguy]

Is this a good smartwatch for a beginner?

[@STAGFITNESS]

Its a great beginners watch as it covers all the basic fitness and health tracking features you will need.

[@mohamedcheboub2609]

Does the sense 2 give me the heart beat zone during my training?

[@evgueni.saaranen]

Yes, it does. Just like Versa 4, etc.

[@CarlosAlcala-qq2ip]

My dad has a heart condition. I want to get him a watch that can help monitor his stress and heart. Would you recommend a smartwatch, and if so, what kind. Do you know if Sense 2 will be of any use?

[@STAGFITNESS]

Whats your budget and are you looking for any other features?

[@CarlosAlcala-qq2ip]

@@STAGFITNESS Blood Pressure Tracking and not looking for anything to cost over 1k.

[@alverofelipe]

​@@CarlosAlcala-qq2ip the only watch that does blood pressure (depending on the country you're in, check it) is the Galaxy Watch 4 series and 5 series. But it's not a medical device and it does not track your BP automatically.

[@alverofelipe]

​@@CarlosAlcala-qq2ip and it only works 100% with Galaxy devices.

[@krzybutifl]

Can you respond to text messages via voice assistant with an iPhone?

[@STAGFITNESS]

Only on a Apple watch

[@tomaszs5954]

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.

[@STAGFITNESS]

Hopefully google/Fitbit step up there game this year.

[@innosanto]

3rd party apps are only the music and google assistant. Maybe also the tile. But it has gained more fitness and stress stuff. Not many 3rd party apps is a benefit not a disadvantage. I changed from apple watch to fitbit for that reason , apple watch is causing several distractions.

[@yanskietv6502]

What if lost you it? Do can find this watch?

[@STAGFITNESS]

Check the Fitbit app to see the last time your device synced. If it synced recently, it's likely within range of your phone. Take your phone to the area where you think you lost your device and try to sync. If your device syncs, it's nearby. Try using a Bluetooth locator app to help you find your device. For iPhone, try LightBlue Explorer. For Android, try Bluetooth Finder.

[@aqualadly76017]

How do I change Celsius to Fahrenheit

[@roadhouseguy]

In the app to go Sense 2, Gallery, Weather, settings

[@promisemaduako7191]

Can u received call on watching?

[@STAGFITNESS]

What do you mean on watching? Confused sorry

[@TheFirstAmendment]

I message does not work with this device. It’s ridiculous and apple really pins you on what device to purchase with that overarching invasive move..

[@naomimcclean3544]

Can you answer phone calls on the sense 2. Talk through speaker?

[@STAGFITNESS]

The feature is coming soon apparently.

[@srikrishnaveturi4906]

yes, you can already do that, just change the call settings in the fitbit app

[@yanni2737]

Yes you can following the Dec22 update

[@Rajsukh25]

Does Sense 2 or other fitbits have an average pace when running a 5k. So as you run it tells you you are below pace or going too fast. This feature is available on apple and Garmin's but not sure about sense 2

[@Rajsukh25]

Called pace alert on apple

[@AjaySingh-lj7ki]

Fitbit sense support cellular data???

[@adamhakim4054]

for what? can you explain?

[@arasenofworld]

What about Fitbit premium?

[@STAGFITNESS]

what did you need to know?

[@arasenofworld]

Does it come with it at least for their flagship or is it just a 6month/1yr free deal ? This is the reason for me prefer Garmin over Fitbit
