Fitbit Sense 2 died

[Donald]

My Fitbit Sense 2 broke after about 2+ years. The main reason I got it was for health monitoring.

Back to my Seiko watch for now (which I love). It pulls the time over the air daily to correct the time on the watch.

So another Fitbit Sense 2 or Pixel 3 watch?

I believe Fitbit is history as far as anything new like a Fitbit Sense 3.

Would like a watch that can measure blood sugar but they are not on the market yet. At least not reliable ones.

The Fitbit Sense 2 was Bluetooth only I believe. Battery lasted 4 days. Most other smart watches support more than just Bluetooth and those protocols use more power so the watches tend to need to be charged daily. Goal is to wear watch at night to pick up any irregular heart best conditions. AFIB.

No watch can do that reliably at this point.* You can however get a smartwatch that can get and display he data from your CGM via BT in the same manner your smartphone can.

There are watches that can guess BG levels but they are exceedingly inaccurate and none are FD-approved at this time.

I will get a CGM.. I have used one on and off.

But focus now on new smart watch. For health monitoring.

These watches are not intended to have a long life given price point. My 4 year old Apple Watch keeps working however battery only good for 14hrs.

I am on my second Fitbit Inspire 2. My first one ($59) was just shot after falling on it 15 months ago. I like the simple format on the app, has to be as the display is virtually unreadable except in total darkness. I found the replacement on Ebay for
$40 ITD. It works just as good even though it was a open box item. My battery lasts about a week.
