There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
At that point, I then owned 2 fitness watches. I gave my daughter the old Fitbit Sense since it worked. My problem was that with the new competitioners fitness watch was that although it looked pretty cool, I really hated the app that was attached to it. I thought I would get used to it but I didn't. I really hated it's format which made the watch useless to me. It was more geared for an elite athlete, which I am not.
My predicament was that I couldn't take back my old watch from my child, especially after she already bought watch bands & accessories. Unfortunately I wasn't going to keep the new watch. It was too expensive to have an app that didn't work for me.
After checking around where I could buy a Fitbit sense original, I was sad to see that Fitbit stopped making the original anymore. I really liked my old Fitbit sense. The upgraded Sense 2 has omitted some features that I liked on the original. Luckily when I looked on Amazon I found they some in stock & I was able to purchase a new Fitbit Sense. I really do like the Fitbit Sense. I think it's a pretty good workhorse & I'm happy I found it. I know that in a near future it will be very difficult to find a new original one. I thought the price was pretty good. It was definitely less than the original one I owned previously. I wish there were some more features as far as watch faces but I'm pretty happy with it. I think it will last a long time. (fingers crossed) maybe when this one croaks, Fitbit/ Google will come up with another watch that includes all the features that I like.
tl;dr: heart rate tracking during exercise, lifting or cardio, is so busted it qualifies as false advertising. It was off 20-80 BPM during cardio. Can't even express my shock adequately over that.
My background: I'm not an athlete, I'm a regular guy who enjoys lifting, hiking, spinning, and working out in general. I workout 4-5 times a week for 30-90 minutes per session unless I go for long hikes (3-6 hours). I know what my heart rate is when I work out. I've used a FitBit Alta HR for the past 4 years and I've sporadically used a Polar heart rate band around the chest. I know what various heart rate levels feel like in my body and can guess within +/- 10 BPM based on fingers to my neck or wrist. I've had this FitBit Sense for a week after retiring my Alta HR (still working!!!).
In the four images, you'll see two different recent workouts. The first image is from 11 November with my Alta HR. I had just finished lifting weights (image 3) and went over to the elliptical and powered it up to resistance 45/100. My METS output was between 10-12 the entire time. You can see the Alta HR took a moment to catch up to my heart rate, but once it did, it was accurate. I really was going hard the entire time and ended the exercise before doing my cool-down. I can sustain my heart rate at 165+ during cardio for 30-60 minutes depending on what I'm doing. I've been able to do that for years. I know what a high heart rate feels like in my chest, in my neck, and on my wrist.
The second image is from today, 25 November with my FitBit Sense. I had just finished lifting weights (image 4) and went over to the elliptical and powered it up to resistance 45/100 (sound familiar?). My METS output was between 10-12 the entire time (sound familiar?). Only this time, my Sense appeared to catch up and then it flatlined and reported me for 25 minutes between 82 and 89, which is so laughable it's actually criminal how wrong that is. I tested my heart rate using the machine itself (which is reliable within +/- 5 BPM) and it showed me at 165. I put my fingers to my neck and felt a pulse of around 160-170 (not a doctor or an EMT but I'm a musician and know the difference between 82 and 165 on the metronome).
For weight lifting comparison, see images 3 and 4. I chose the same workout for comparison (upper body) and I am WELL aware that wrist-mounted HR monitors struggle with weight lifting because of hand grips changing the circulation of blood to the wrist. You can see in image 3 that I have peaks and valleys - my HR is going up right after doing the lift and it comes down during the 60-90 sec recovery. The Sense (image 4) struggled mightily, showing what appears to be a more "consistent" reading across but missing the peaks and valleys that weight lifting leads to. For more context, I was benching 185-225 during the first 8 minutes where it saw me in fat burn and I can tell you, my HR was well above 120ish after the set at 225.
All of the other FitBit Sense features, so far, appear to be great. I like getting notifications on my wrist that I can choose to see, like having my various messaging apps notify me. I like the Star Trek Console clock face - kudos to the developer because it makes my nerdy side smile. I like that it measures SpO2 while sleeping. I like that I get excellent sleep tracking that compares very well to my old FitBit Alta HR. I like that I can input other metrics like my weight or stress into it with the Sense. I haven't yet tried the ECG or EDA, but I expect those probably work just fine too. The visual of the watch on my wrist is nice and people have already complimented it.
But the fact that in November of 2021, more than a year after launching this flagship, $300 product that is meant to compete with the Apple Watch, Garmin Vivo series, and a suite of decent Samsung watches, more than a year after MANY online complaints about the heart rate monitor not working during exercise, for this to still be a problem indicates that something is actually wrong at FitBit itself. I work in a medium-sized corporation and if our flagship product was actively FAILING to do the ONE most basic function the entire company was LAUNCHED on, people would be getting fired left and right. I guarantee you that the engineering department likely has not received enough negative feedback about this. I'm sure this review will never be seen but it sure is making me feel better writing it.
It's not only laughable, it's actively pathetic that a FitBit heart rate sensor in 2021 cannot accurately record a heart rate during exercise. My Alta HR, from 2017, was accurate. This thing was 20 to 80 BPM off. That is STUNNING. That is EMBARRASSING. That is FALSE ADVERTISING. No athlete, no gym rat, not even a regular person wearing one of these should even remotely trust any of the other readings the sensors provide if the most basic, most simple, most well-tested sensor since the mid 2000s, a heart rate sensor, isn't working right on a $300 flagship product. I mean it's so inexcusable I can't even believe I'm writing this.
And real quick - the FitBit customer service representative claimed that "I wasn't wearing it right" (per FitBit's own instructions, I've been wearing the Alta HR above my wrist by two finger widths for 4 years and did the same with the Sense this past week). Then, he told me that I couldn't "claim" the warranty, after one week mind you, because I DARED to mention that I did a comparison with a Polar HR band. Somehow, mentioning that you know what you're talking about and can see the faults means you don't get a product replacement? Literally that's criminal behavior and FitBit should be shocked and embarrassed by that. I don't know who they contracted their customer service out to (and I won't indicate from what region this person likely was because there's no need for that), but wow. I've never had a worse customer experience over the phone in my LIFE. And I've had to deal with cable companies!
But lemme give a quick shout out to my man Joshua, the Amazon representative. Five stars. He heard the whole conversation and he couldn't even believe the FitBit customer representative was actively avoiding trying to provide a replacement. And so he had my back and processed a refund.

This comes with a silicone band than can be easily swapped out for a mesh band from another company. I don't mind the silicone band, but others may prefer a dressier, more formal look to hide the fact that they are wearing a Fitbit.

Sono passato da un FitBit Ionic (che tra l'altro dovevo disattivare per una richiesta dalla casa madre dovuto ad un problema delle batterie).
Esteticamente è molto gradevole alla vista, non è molto grosso perciò sul polso si presente bene e non si sente di averlo.
Lo schermo è abbastanza grande e luminoso e l'assenza di pulsanti fisici non ne compromette l'utilizzo.
La durata della batteria è ovviamente variabile però la tipologia di watchface che utilizzate può cambiare l'autonomia in modo drastico. a Parità di utilizzo ho trovato delle watchface che ti fanno durare la batteria per 2 giorni in più. Attualmente riesco ad arrivare a 5 giorni al massimo (con 2-3 allenamenti indoor no GPS) e notifiche che attivano lo schermo (disattivata attivazione schermo automatica). Per quanto riguarda la durata con GPS si riescono a fare anche 8 ore, forse 12 ma non ci sono mai arrivato.
Ora passiamo ai contro:
Il sistema di ricarica fa pena, fin dall'inizio ho avuto problemi a caricarlo immediatamente perché i pad del caricatore non aderiscono bene ai punti dell'orologio e quindi carica molto lentamente o per niente. Questo problema l'avevo anche con il Ionic (che ho cambiato in garanzia dopo quasi 2 anni per questo stesso motivo). Ormai ci ho fatto l'abitudine e controllo sempre se parte la carica (anche se sempre viene fuori l'avviso "ricarica lenta" ma in realtà carica normalmente).
Mi è successo una volta che si riavviasse all'infinito senza possibilità di fermarlo. Ho dovuto resettarlo a Default con una procedura molto complessa. Si è riavviato a caso altre 2-3 volte ma senza farlo all'infinito.
A volte la sincronizzazione non avviene e devo riavviare sia l'orologio che il telefono. Non so se dipende dal telefono o dal Fitbit perchè questo problema era presente sia con il vecchio telefono che con il vecchio FitBit Ionic.
Il tracking delle attività è ottimo e anche la app ha tutto quello che serve. Peccato che lato sviluppo non ci investono molto (chissà se Google fare un upgrade massiccio).
Presente l'EGC (l'ho acquistato per questa feature rara ma alla fine l'ho usata 2-3 volte).
Presente anche la lettura della stanchezza con delle sessioni dedicate ma alcune funzioni sono a pagamento con la app FitBit Premium.
Acquisterò di nuovo FitBit in futuro? Visti i problemi non lo so però anche con il Ionic non ero molto felice, dipende da voi se volete un compromesso tra affidabilità e funzionalità.
A favor: tiene muchas funciones, yo la compre porque puedo contestar llamadas desde el reloj, puedo levantar recordatorios en Alexa (me sirve muchisimo), tiene algunas funciones de salud buenas y te apoyan mientras haces deporte. Las correas son muy baratas y muy padres. Puedes controlar Spotify
Contra: tengo un iphone y no se si sea eso pero se llega a perder la comunicación tanto para la función de buscar el celular, como en ocasiones para usar la función de Alexa. Para acceder a metricas de salud tienes que contratar la suscripción a premium (gratis los primeros 6 meses)
En general estoy a gusto con el reloj, pero apenas tengo menos de 1 mes, ya veremos como nos va
Reviewed in Mexico on August 2, 2022
Migliorate le indicazioni nell'App. La connessione è migliorata un po' ma una volta ogni 7-10 giorni devo spegnere e riaccendere l'orologio per farlo funzionare bene. Durata batteria ancora di 4g e mezzo
== Aggiornamento dicembre 2023 ==
Finalmente l'indicazione della batteria sull'app.. purtroppo la connessione talvolta è ancora ballerina. La batteria dura ancora 4 giorni e mezzo.
== Aggiornamento novembre 2023 ==
E' stata rilasciata la nuova versione dell'APP Smartphone
A livello di interfaccia è stata semplificata (solo 3 sezioni invece di 4) ma purtroppo è scomparsa l'info della batteria dell'orologio: adesso c'è un generico indicatore grafico. Credo che prima o poi la reinseriranno (molti sul Play Store criticano questa mancanza)
Adesso il problema della sincronizzazione si è ridotto ma continua ad essere presente. Purtroppo nell'app non è presente un indicatore grafico che dice su telefono e orologio sono connessi, bisogna scoprirlo cliccando sull'icona in alto a sinistra che permette di vedere l'elenco dei dispositivi (es: orologio) connessi. Se si scopre che non c'è connessione cliccando sul dispositivo e poi sull'icona 'sincronizza ora' nell'80% dei casi si risolve. Altrimenti seguite i consigli della recensione originale (in basso).
La batteria dell'orologio dura ancora 4 giorni e mezzo: un tempo ragionevole anche se secondo me potrebbero aumentarlo se migliorassero il firmware (aggiornato solo al momento dell'acquisto agosto 2023) ma non credo che continueranno a supportare un modello vecchio (per loro).. peccato
Per questi motivi ho aumentato di una stella la valutazione portandola da 3 a 4.
==== Aggiornamento ottobre 2023 ====
Dopo due mesi, nessun problema. I trucchi riportati hanno sempre risolto i problemi
==== Recensione originale Agosto 2023 ====
✅ Ho deciso di fare una recensione per chiarire i problemi di questo smartwatch. Di recensioni ce ne sono già tantissime.. e molto complete. Siccome ho notato che molti giudizi negativi sono dovuti a problemi software, voglio raccontare la mia esperienza indicando come ho risolto alcuni di questi problemi.
🏃 Non sono un maniaco della forma fisica ma svolgo spesso attività sportive (appena ne ho il tempo) e cammino tanto. Mi interessa uno smartwatch che:
- mi supporti nella gestione delle attività da svolgere
- monitori le mie attività per evitare che il lavoro prenda il sopravvento sulla salute.
************************
💪In breve, LE MIE NECESSITA', soddisfatte da fitbit, sono:
🔋 Batteria superiore ai 2 giorni. Lo Smartwatch deve semplificare la vita e non complicarla. E' inutile (PER ME) avere qualcosa che deve essere sempre ricaricato (vedi Apple o Samsung) o che è meglio rimuovere (per preservare la batteria) durante la notte (quando è importante monitorare lo stato di salute). Fitbit dura 4-5 giorni (e se venisse ottimizzato lato software potrebbe arrivare a 7gg).
🤑 Prezzo inferiore ai 250€ (ho approfittato dell'offerta a 150€ del Fitbit 'Sense' dopo tutto è un modello superato dal 'Sense 2' con piccoli aggiornamenti lato software)
💸 NFC pagamenti. Non è per fare il figo... ma per comodità. Per esempio: la gente dimentica la carta di credito o il cellulare alla cassa del supermercato nella fretta di sistemare le buste e pagare. Dato che non abbiamo 3 mani, è più comodo usare lo Smartwatch. Per questo non ho scelto uno smartwatch Huawei.
💬 Assistente vocale. In qualsiasi momento (non si ha il telefono sotto mano) viene in mente una cosa da fare o una scadenza, basta dettare all'assistente vocale. Mi ha davvero semplificato la vita! Per questo motivo non ho preso uno smartwatch Xiaomi.
📞 Risposta a telefonate. Ottimo per la classica telefonata che ti arriva quando non hai il cellulare in mano, per dire: "ti richiamo fra 2 minuti" oppure "fra 5 minuti sono arrivato"
📲 Invio di (o risposta a) messaggi. Quante volte si rischia di cadere o causare incidenti in auto per inviare messaggi? Utilissimo per messaggi del tipo: "invia whatsapp a Mario Rossi sto arrivando" senza distogliere lo sguardo da ciò che si sta facendo.
🔍 Materiali e design: bello, comodo e leggero. Ottima la scelta delle forma quadrata che preferisco per ottimizzare i contenuti del display (la forma rotonda SECONDO ME va bene solo per gli orologi classici con le lancette... stop). Schermo ottimo: si vede bene sotto il sole. Sensori di tutto rispetto con la possibilità dell'ECG

❌ Vediamo adesso i problemi
Premesso che il mio Fitbit funziona bene dal punto di vista hardware, i miei problemi sono TUTTI DOVUTI AL SOFTWARE. Poche volte mi è capitato di vedere APP progettate e realizzate così male come Fitbit. Siccome voglio essere costruttivo nelle critiche, espongo i problemi e le soluzioni.
👎 PROBLEMA 1️⃣
PRIMA INSTALLAZIONE da incubo. Si benedicono gli orologi di Apple. Procedura progettata senza pensare alla User Experience. Prendetevi una mezza giornata libera per configurare Fitbit altrimenti rischiate di buttarlo dalla finestra. Ad un certo punto vi ritroverete con una bellissima animazione con una X rossa ad alta definizione che mostrerà sull'orologio il messaggio di "errore generico si prega di riprovare" oppure "qualcosa è andato storto". Applausi 👏👏👏👏. Consiglio di non configurare il WiFi 🛜 sull'orologio per scaricare gli aggiornamenti del firmware (A ME SI BLOCCAVA TUTTO): meglio farli scaricare al telefono e poi passarli all'orologio (A ME HA FUNZIONATO)
👎 PROBLEMA 2️⃣
App Fitbit progettata malissimo. Bastava copiare dalle altre App. Informazioni confuse buttate in maniera casuale fra le 4 sezioni.
- sezioni "Oggi". Il 99% delle info sono qui. Il nome è sbagliato perché si trovano anche dati e statistiche sui giorni precedenti. Ci vogliono 3-4 giorni per districarsi nel dedalo di dati presenti 😫😫😫. L'app di Xiaomi (per le Band da 30 €) è anni-luce più avanti.. figuriamoci Huawei o Samsung.
- sezione "Scopri". Il nome è sbagliato perché qui trovi tutto ciò che i progettisti software non sono riusciti a inserire nella sezione precedente: esercizi da svolgere, report sulla salute del cuore, galleria quadranti e statistiche su salute e benessere. Ancora complimenti ai progettisti 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
- sezione "Comunità". Inutile. Già è difficile tenere connesso l'orologio con il telefono.. figuriamoci tenersi in contatto con amici e parenti per scambiarsi i dati sugli allenamenti. Consiglio ai maniaci della forma fisica e della condivisione di usare prodotti come Garmin e Polar oppure App di condivisione con Strava & Co.
- sezione "Premium". E' stato già detto tutto: è come chiedere ad una persona che ha comprato l'auto di pagare un extra per usare l'autoradio. Chissà quanti orologi Fitbit non sono stati venduti per colpa di questi inutili abbonamenti!!!
🗓️ Dopo un paio di settimane si fa l'abitudine a questo abominio di interfaccia software.
👎 PROBLEMA 3️⃣
Limitazioni del software per giustificare l'acquisto della versione 2 del Sense. Per esempio: non si può usare per pagare con NFC il circuito Google Pay, ma solo Fitbit Pay (che è meno supportato dalle banche). Per fortuna esiste Revolut che risolve questo problema (oltre a quello dei pagamenti in valuta straniera). Ci vuole solo un po' di volontà per eliminare questo problema unificando la gestione dei pagamenti di Google (la stessa volontà che ha reso disponibile su "Sense" l'assistente vocale Google che prima era riservato solo al "Sense 2")
👎👎👎👎👎 PROBLEMA 4️⃣ 🏆️🏆️🏆️🏆️🏆️
La lamentela più frequente (quasi il 90% delle recensioni negative) è la disconnessione fra l'app Fitbit (sul telefono) e l'orologio.
Il Fitbit usa 2 connessioni Bluetooth con il telefono: "Sense" e "Sense Controls". Essendoci due diversi canali di comunicazione possiamo trovarci in condizioni tali che alcune funzioni vanno bene e altre no.
Inoltre l'app Fitbit non mostra chiaramento lo stato della connessione con l'orologio: è presente una barra di sincronizzazione in alto (in cui all'avvio compare "Sincronizzazione di Sense...") che però sparisce dopo pochi secondi. Se la connessione non riesce, l'utente non lo sa. Complimenti ai progettisti 🎖️🎖️🎖️ Suggerimento: inserite nell'App una piccola icona sempre visibile con colori verde o rossa (dai su, è facile da fare) 🤐🤐🤐

💥 SOLUZIONI AI PROBLEMI (CHE HO RISCONTRATO) DI DISCONNESSIONE App-Orologio
Onde evitare che si restituiscano prodotti funzionanti a causa di problemi software, scrivo qualche trucco per risolvere i bug 🪲🪲🪲 dell'App Fitbit che finora ho riscontrato. Infatti l'app Fitbit fornisce consigli banali ("riavvia questo o quello") che MAI sono riusciti a risolvere i MIEI problemi. Vediamo i trucchi.
💫 APP Fitbit (impostazioni - sense - notifiche) dice che l'orologio non ha accesso alle notifiche, consigliando di riavviare lo smartphone (il riavvio non serve a nulla).
🎯 Il problema è che le app in Android per accedere alle notifiche devono avere dei privilegi speciali. Nelle impostazioni di Android andare nella voce "accesso alle notifiche" e impostare che l'app Fitbit possa accedere al contenuto delle notifiche. La procedura dipende dal cellulare ma basta cercare sul web "accesso app alle notifiche MODELLOSMARTPHONE".
💫 APP Fitbit dice che la sincronizzazione è fallita. In questo caso ci sono più soluzioni:
🎯 Andare nelle impostazioni di Android nella sezione App (o Gestione App), cercare l'app Fitbit (che ovviamente non deve avere restrizioni sul risparmio energetico) e cliccare sui pulsanti "chiusura forzata" e "svuota la cache". Riavviando l'app dovrebbe funzionare. Attenzione: se cliccate sul pulsante "cancella tutti dati" (come molti tutorial consigliano) dovete ripetere la configurazione dell'app da capo, settando a mano molte impostazioni... NEL MIO CASO ho provato una volta ma NON HO RISOLTO il problema.
🎯 Spegnere l'orologio (impostazioni- spegnimento) e poi riaccenderlo premendo il pulsante laterale (mi capita alcune volte dopo la ricarica dell'orologio).
🎯 Se alcune notifiche (es: SMS o WhatsApp) arrivano sull'orologio ma la sincronizzazione dell'app Fitbit fallisce, significa che solo una connessione Bluetooth viene gestita correttamente dall'app. Rimedio: usare dall'orologio l'assistente vocale (es: impostare un timer) e dopo la sincronizzazione riprende.
💥 FINORA CON QUESTI TRUCCHI HO SEMPRE RISOLTO. INCROCIAMO LE DITA 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
L'app Fitbit di Android (giudizio UNA STELLA) dovrebbe essere completamente riscritta da Google. Questo consentirebbe all'universo di Big G di uniformarsi e di evitare che buoni prodotti (come gli orologi Fitbit) siano penalizzati dai software. Purtroppo come tutte le grandi aziende, ci vuole tempo a prendere decisioni così importanti. Sono fiducioso che ciò avverrà se Google non vuole rimanere indietro in questo campo dove i rivali hanno TUTTI sviluppato ottime App.
Infatti i dispositivi Fitbit SECONDO ME hanno dei vantaggi rispetto ai competitor:
- Apple e Samsung sono indietro dal punto di vista della autonomia
- Huawei e Xiaomi mancano di alcune delle funzioni (che l'orologio fitbit offre a parità di prezzo): risposta alle notifiche, integrazione con gli assistenti vocali e pagamenti NFC.
