[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a 38 year old Xennial that is definitely not technology addicted. I was a little hesitant about getting a smartwatch of this caliber since I really didn't "need" any tech beyond an accurate pedometer. I do have to say though that this FitBit Sense 2 Smartwatch has truly blown me away. As someone who can easily navigate life without being "connected", I am shocked that I feel that this smartwatch is a necessary assessory now. The battery life on this watch is great (it lasts about a week) and I find myself strategically timing the point in my day that I will put it on it's charger so that it won't miss any substantial data. I wear this thing 24/7. My favorite feature of this smartwatch is the connection it has with my Samsung Galaxy phone to deliver notifications to my wrist and it alerts me when my phone is ringing. I am a Stay At Home Mom that is busy (and that is an understatement), I am constantly running around and not with my phone in arms reach and it is so nice to not miss important texts or phone calls. I had a Ticwatch Smartwatch in the past that constantly dropped connection with my cell phone and I am happy to say that I haven't had any of those problems with the FitBit Sense 2. It has never dropped connection, not once. I do also have to say that the pedometer seems very accurate in comparison to many pedometers I've had in the past. We go to Disneyland often and I am always traversing the parks pushing a stroller and I've had many pedometers in the past not give me "credit" for pushing a stroller because my arms are not doing a swinging motion, not the case with the FitBit. I have definitely increased my activity since starting with my FitBit, I find myself marching in place in front of my bed at the end of the night to hit my 8,500 step goal. Another feature I use a lot is the Sleep Profile. I have Sleep Apnea and it is nice to compare data between my APAP machine and the FitBit. I can even see my blood oxygen saturation on the FitBit and compare it to my apnea data on my APAP machine. I can see on my FitBit how much better my apneas are getting now that I am losing weight. Another great difference I noticed with the FitBit in comparison to other smartwatches I've used is that when you take off the watch the O2 sensor (red blinking light) eventually turns off so it's not wasting battery. The only negative about the FitBit Sense 2 is the silicone band that it comes with. Like many others, it irritates my skin into a yeast infection and rash if there is any moisture on my wrist, and it's a fitness watch so the goal is to sweat. I wish that the basic band that came with the watch would be made of nylon or fabric. Otherwise, this FitBit Sense 2 Smartwatch is great! I highly recommend it!
