the reason why the sense has more stress test/relief functions is because they want you to recover from the stress you have buying it

[@emmanouilboxiou5850]

Fitbit reccomends wearing your watch two fingers away from your wrist for an accurate heartbeat reading, whereas with your test both Fitbit watches where way too far from the reccomended placement. Maybe the reason for the innacurate reading? Just a thought. Great video though.

[@wearablewhisperer]

You might find this video interesting (where I test different wrist placements): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpioh6yLap2Bm68 I have tested in multiple placements over multiple years, and I personally have never gotten reliably accurate heart rate at high intensities when walking or hiking with any Fitbit. I can get reliably accurate peak heart rate when indoor spinning with most recent Fitbits (no matter what the placement on my wrist is...). I used to be a Fitbit employee, so I am very aware of the placement recommendation. Just FYI, I always personally do several tests in different placements and locations before I even give any accuracy statements (unlike some other "reviews" that have only had the device for a day or two). In a "to the point" video like this one, I just can't include every test that led me to my conclusion. I'm glad you liked the video 😊

Both fitbit options are higher up on your wrist compared to the Garmin and Apple. I wonder if that plays into your result of not having an accurate reading.

[@wearablewhisperer]

Fitbit actually advises wearing their products higher up on your wrist for more accurate readings. I’ve also done several other tests wearing them lower on the wrist and with no other device on the same wrist, it’s always the same result (dropping when it get to my peak heart rate zone). The only time it can handle being in my peak heart rate zone is during indoor spinning when I’m at a constantly high heart rate and not doing any intervals.

[@hex4047]

Really informative video. Thank you. To tell you the truth, I'd go for an Apple watch in a heartbeat if I would be willing to switch from my Samsung Galaxy to iPhone but no way. I'm looking on Amazon and the Versa 3 is only $20 less than the Sense. Also, I don't know if the deficiencies mentioned are hardware or software issues. During my career in IT, I had to make that determination countless times, but I shouldn't have to be put in that position for a $300 (on sale for $199) watch. If it's not hardware based, then a firmware and/or software update might make these issues get better or even go away. I would love to know what Fitbit knows about these issues. It may well be the hardware is causing these inaccuracies in which case they will never be fixed. If Fitbit manufactured these using cheap sensors to improve their margins, then you're stuck with these issues for the duration of your ownership. Who wants to throw the dice for $199/$300?

[@wearablewhisperer]

You’re welcome. I can almost guarantee that Fitbit will not correct any of these issues with firmware updates. Their (and most other company’s) M.O. is to provide updates in the form of next years iteration (though Fitbit hasn’t seemed to yet crack the code on accurate heart rate for me at least; Apple and Garmin have both improved significantly in the last few years). If it helps to know, I do have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 ordered and I’ll try to at least compare its heart rate accuracy and ease of use/features to the Apple Watch and maybe Fitbit and publish some videos ideally before Christmas. I don’t have a Samsung phone though and I’ll have to use my seldom-used Android phone I bought for these purposes (since the galaxy watch 4 doesn’t work with iPhones). Good luck in your search!

Did you tighten the fitbit during your exercise? The manual says to move it a notch tighter than normal wear to get an accurate reading. I just did a spinning interval workout and it kept up with my heartrate. And it was up to 166.

[@wearablewhisperer]

I used to be a Fitbit employee. I know how to use them. Multitudes of people have the same issue I do. I guess you are one of the lucky few that don’t have this issue. If I do non-interval spinning, it can keep up.

I wasn't trying to be snarky. It was a genuine question because I know a lot of people don't realize that. I'm sorry if it you received it that way.

[@wearablewhisperer]

[@akhileshshivade562]

Bruh just saying... For the bpm test, you had the garmin and apple at the right spot where the watch is supposed to be worn ie 1-2 fingers below wrist bone but both the fitbits you have worn way below the recommendation.

It seems odd to me that fitbit withholds your 30 day historic spO2 data unless you subscribe to premium. What happened to freedom of information?

I do think that for the average user who's wanting to exercise and lose weight they're fine (along with Apple watches and other wearables) but for hardcore athletes who need accuracy than you can't beat the Polar, a chest strap will always win hands down every time. As for me, just handed my Versa 2 in after 5 days as it decided it didn't want to charge every now and again, so now I'm waiting on a new Sense arriving and at 60 years old, overweight and lets be honest, quite slovenly this should help me with motivation and tracking after a lifestyle change (now exercising 1.5 hours a day, 6 days a week and have been for 3 months) If my heart rate hits 160 plus I hope my companions have a defibrillator on them.

This method of taking an “on-demand” heart rate via your phones camera has been around before smartwatches got popular.

What about oxygen saturation/SpO2 readings? My instructions say I need to download a separate app from their “Gallory” for my Fitbit Sense. Where might the Gallery be? Is it just an app I can get from my iPhone apps?

[@wearablewhisperer]

It’s in the Fitbit App. Start from your main dashboard (the one that shows your steps, sleep, etc). Click on the icon in the upper left corner. That should bring you to your account page. Find Sense in your list of devices and tap on it. Then you should see “Apps” on the next page. Tap on that. You can then tap on “All Apps” and search for any app

any improvements in heart rate tracking from updates till now?

[@wearablewhisperer]

Not in my experience

[@GoBrand0n]

Which one do you recommend for daily use? TYIA

[@wearablewhisperer]

I’ve been wearing the Sense daily, but I don’t care about any of the differences I mentioned except I prefer the look of the stainless steel ring / bezel. They are both fine for daily use. If you don’t care about the extra features, Versa is a great value.

I just got my Fitbit sense a few days ago and I'm having troubles with the haptic button when I press it. It's not doing anything does anybody have any tips?

Great video.. how useful is the ECG. Do fitbit explain how to read the charts. Every video I have watched only shows a chart, and I have no idea what info I can get out of it.

[@wearablewhisperer]

The ECG app can only tell you if your heart rhythm shows signs of Afib. The chart is more for sharing with your doctor (if you do show signs of afib).

[@martinastepanova8049]

Thank you for a detailed overview of the Fitbit smartwatches!

[@wearablewhisperer]

You’re welcome! 😊

[@andrewkiiskila9293]

So if you had to pick one over the other, which would you choose?

[@wearablewhisperer]

If money is no issue, I love the more shiny look of the Sense and it’s stainless steel ring around the display. If I didn’t need the ECG feature and wanted to save money, I’d get the Versa 3.

[@andrewkiiskila9293]

@@wearablewhisperer but you would also get an apple watch over a fitbit as well? Lol

[@wearablewhisperer]

I thought you were asking me to choose only between the two Fitbits. Yes, for what I want it a smartwatch, I choose an Apple Watch over a Fitbit.

[@andrewkiiskila9293]

@@wearablewhisperer yea… I was only looking at the fitbits when I made the first comment, didn’t really look at apple watches at all. But a few other versa/sense videos i watched after ALSO said they would choose and apple watch over fitbit. As well as actual in person conversations with people I noticed wearing the different models!

so the heart rate is dangerously not accurate if you go above 150ish the fitbits cant read you heartbeat correctly?, crazy

[@Ash21Scotland]

does Versa 2 have spotify too? Both my Versa 2s, both their screens fell out! Which is best Sense or Versa 3?

[@wearablewhisperer]

Yes, Versa 2 has the Spotify App as well. See my video here for Sense vs. Versa 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWWXdXaYn7mCZ7s

[@Ash21Scotland]

@@wearablewhisperer Yes i've already seen the video. I wanted to know your opinion which fitbit was best.

[@wearablewhisperer]

Best is subjective. The Sense has a few more features, but the Versa 3 is better value for your money if you don’t need or care about those few extra features. For most people, Versa 3 is good enough, but I do personally love the stainless steel around the Sense’s display.

[@Ash21Scotland]

@@wearablewhisperer Yes i like he stainless stell around frame. I've had 2 versa 2's for a long time now. so much so, BOTH their screens fell out! Now I'm just wondering should i even bother getting another fitbit?? Not another versa 2 anyways. I had to glue bk in my screen! So just wondering does versa 3 do this too? whats better in versa 3 than versa 2?

[@Hypersapien_Hobbies]

I'm trying to find a good watch for a reasonable price. What watch would you recommend?

[@wearablewhisperer]

What features do you care most about?

[@Hypersapien_Hobbies]

@@wearablewhisperer Well manly just tracking my steps and I like being able to control music, but seems like I'll still need my phone with me anyways. I did have a charge 3 but I want to get something alot better.

[@wearablewhisperer]

Do you have an Android Phone, iPhone, or something different you pair your watch to? Did you think your Fitbit Charge 3 tracked your steps accurately enough? Do you have a price range?

[@Hypersapien_Hobbies]

@@wearablewhisperer I have an Android, Samsung S20 Ultra. And yeah it tracked the steps fine , was a bit basic in features tho and it had issues syncing before it randomly died. Price range I don't mind to much maybe around 300-500 Aus $ It's more I was going to get a Sense seemed like a good idea but after seeing a few reviews I'm not sure now. 🤔

[@wearablewhisperer]

If you don’t need the ECG app, I would recommend the Fitbit Versa 3 over the Sense. You may also want to look into the Garmin Venu Sq Music (depending on the music provider you use, you may be able to download music to your watch and not have to have your phone connected to listen back-but you will need Bluetooth headphones). You could also look into the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2. It would also have more features than Fitbit and potentially allow you to download music to your watch (and control playback). Fitbit does have the most accurate sleep tracking (compared to Garmin and Samsung), and Fitbit also has the best companion app. Maybe take a look at these 3 and let me know if you have any questions? I’m happy to help if I can 😊

[@بوبو-ف3ص]

Now which is more accurate in calculating calories, Fitbit or Apple Watch

[@wearablewhisperer]

Definitely Apple Watch. Fitbit overestimates.

[@ransmithkhomidov5748]

When I'm running will the fitbit versa 3 show the wrong heart rate since I'm gonna get a versa 3, do u recommend it?

[@wearablewhisperer]

I can only report my experience, and yours may be different. If you really want one, I’d recommend buying from a store that has a good return policy, or directly from Fitbit (then you are more likely to be able to return after using, if the heart rate isn’t accurate for you).

[@ransmithkhomidov5748]

@@wearablewhisperer are you still using it? If you are how's your experience so far, because I'm just about to order one from amazon.

[@wearablewhisperer]

I use it for sleep tracking, but I use an Apple Watch (series 5 or 6) for accurate heart rate during the kind of exercise I do

[@ajself9881]

The only good difference in the sense is the stress management score, other than that I think the versa 3 is better. I think I might get a charge 4 or versa 3? Idk I’m mostly just interested in the bigger screen, I think I might end up getting the charge 4 tho.

[@Catalonia]

Yeah I notice the same thing with the heart rate when i'm running uphill. Then I look at the watch and it says my HR is like 100 bpm lol.

[@wearablewhisperer]

It’s pretty sad, especially since Fitbit was the first to have on-wrist heart rate. And now that active (zone) minutes are based on heart rate, it makes that health stat inaccurate, too 😔

[@wearablewhisperer]

Yes, it is possible that it could be accurate for one person, but not another; I believe that’s why I stated that it’s possible your experience will be different and that’s why I recommend buying from a place that will allow you to return it if it doesn’t meet your accuracy expectations (which are subjective also, meaning some people don’t care if the heart rate is up to 10bpm off). I try very hard not to make inaccurate statements (I realize products can improve over time, too), but heart rate is one thing that has never been reliably accurate for me with any Fitbit (and I’ve worn them all), and I know that can be a deal-breaker for people, so I wanted to at least let people know it might not be accurate for them (because I’ve heard from more people that it isn’t accurate, and this newest device is supposed to have a “new and improved” heart rate sensor-which is do think is improved, but it’s still not reliable, meaning it can finally give me a reading of 170bpm and above, but it doesn’t reliably stay there or get there every time it should). Apple Watch 5 and 6 are extremely accurate heart rate for me, and I haven’t heard anyone saying it’s not accurate for them, so that what I base my recommendation on.

How’s the heart rate sensor

[@-WhizzBang-]

High and Low heart rate detect, which is pretty much useless considering that the watch is totally inaccurate in measuring heart rate! These feature are mostly just selling points that don't work!
