So I have had the Fitbit sense for a little over a week now. I switched to Fitbit from an Apple Watch due to my Apple Watch dying on me and not wanting to spend a boatload of money on another watch. I love it!! I love being able to see all the different stats, track my sleep easier see my activity level, and being in a masters program….. track my stress level!! This really in itself sold me. I used to have Fitbit’s before and comparing the stats from then and now they have improved tremendously!! Also being able to personalize your screen more is a huge plus. The battery life lasts very long (I charge maybe every 3-4 days) compared to my Apple Watch which I charged every night due to the battery. Like every smart device I have, I wanted a screen protector because I did see that the screen is “fragile”. I contemplated getting the plastic screen protector the the store offered and the liquid screen protector but didn’t feel that either would protect my screen well enough. I did some research and found some tempered glass screen protectors that include a bumper for the outside of the watch on Amazon!! A pack of 2 for 9.51 after taxes!! 10/10 recommend those because I did drop my watch on hard tile and neither the screen protector or screen broke! The only downside (which isn’t a downside really) is if you want to use the EDA function you have to remove the protector which is super easy to take off and put back on. All in all I would rate this produce a 10/10. I was hesitant to buy this due to some of the reviews and seeing that the screen was very fragile. Buy a good screen protector (recommendation below on amazon) and it should be just fine. Name of screen protector: KIMILAR 2-Pack Hard Case with Built in 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I’ve had a Fitbit since the very first one. The Fitbit Sense has quite a few notable fitness trackers built-in. I find I’m using it more than any other I’ve owned. The display is clear, fairly easy to navigate, and with the Fitbit app I’m able to track my progress fairly easily. I have yet to use the built-in coach feature on the Fitbit Sense, but will be doing that soon. I tested the GPS against a friends Garman and they only differed by a couple 100th of a mile. Where I live, the GPS connects quickly and I haven’t had a drop when I am outside. The biggest area for improvement that I see, is an effective API with Apple. The Fitbit Sense well apparently allow you some smart watch features with an android device, but Fitbit and Apple’s long-term lack of communication causes problems for those of us with iPhones. I’m not fond of large watches on my wrist, and was apprehensive about this one. However, even though it is larger than I would like, it’s light and comfortable. It doesn’t bother me when I sleep, which the Apple Watch used to. The battery life lasts about two days when I use the GPS for my 5 mile walks. I might be able to get about three out of it, but I charge it while I’m sitting down and working. Overall, I’m happy with the features and will continue to use this watch.

It does have some nice bells and whistles ... and if you keep it on blue tooth AND have a premium membership, it is pretty slick. But when I have blue tooth on, my skin turns very red under the watch. Also, the charging ports (the magnetic connection is awesome!) but they fill up with sweat, dirt, and skin and are difficult to keep clean. I find myself charging it every 3 days, and I'm barely running the blue tooth I didn't like the watch band, so I got a stretchy cloth one that breathes. But if I accidently hit the lever when I put it on or off - the watchband pops loose. I've dropped it so many times. I wanted this one to help monitor my heart, breathing, oxygen, and sleep .... but it isn't any more impressive than my Versa 2 was. It is also difficult to push the side button. It does have a cool down / settle down feature. It's an interesting feature, because you have to set your whole palm over the face of the watch. Be sure to touch all 4 sides and wait the required amount of time.
