So I got this delivered on lauch day (25th September) and have worn it every day and night since. I have had many fitbit trackers in the past and the last one was the Ionic. I gave up on the Ionic after a year because I had so many issues with it, the worst being it would loose connection with my phone for no reason and then I had to unpair, delete and re install time and time again. I have been using the Samsung galaxy watch active 2 since and it was an excellent smartwatch but its fitness tracking was not good mostly because of the calories burned during exercise which was so off. I was excited to see the Sense on the fitbit website before it launched and I decided to treat myself. I always buy from Gadget Tree because their customer service and aftercare is excellent. Putting it simply I love this watch. It looks great, feels premium and the screen is bright and clear. I’m fully used to the haptic button and prefer it to an actual button as it means that the watch will be better protected from water. My only problem is that when doing strenuous exercise like spinning the heart rate sensor takes a while to register the high heart rate reached, sometimes my heart rate slows a bit before the watch catches up which meand I miss out on the top range readings of my heart rate. Also the watch seems to think my heart rate drops down into the 110 to 120 bpm after an intense interval but my heart rate is definitely still really high in between hard efforts so this does bother me. My Ionic did this when I first got it but it seemed to improve over time so I’m hoping that the Sense does too. My guess is that it is something software related which can be fixed. Also when weight training the watch puts my heart rate at 110 to 120 bpm when I know that after doing squats for 6 solid minutes with a weights bar my heart rate is way higher, my Samsung puts my heart rate at 140 to 150 bpm for this. Walking seems accurate as does martial arts and kick boxing. Maybe fitbit could fix this with an update. All of the features of this watch are great and I love it. I’m looking forward to seeing what updates come in the future to improve things. I’m especially looking forward to being able to answer phone calls on the watch as this was a big feature I enjoyed with my Samsung. The new os is nice and the connection to the phone is way more stable but it did drop out once so far and I had to unpair, delete and re install then it worked. I think that fitbit might be working on stability now as it needs to be better to be able to take calls on the watch so I’m guessing that’s why we don’t have that function yet. All in all I’m happy despite the niggles. I find this watch exciting. Update! My sense had to be sent back to fitbit today as it was faulty. I’m very happy with fitbit customer service so far as they are replacing my sense with very little effort to action this. Unfortunately though Gadget Tree now don’t replace faulty products after the 1st 30 days. They used to replace faulty products up to a year after purchase which is why I bought it from them. I will just buy from the manufacturer in the future now. I have to say the Gadget Tree customer service lady was excellent, not her fault that the procedure has changed. Just thought this might be an important point to make incase anyone else buys from Gadget Tree because of the returns policy which has now changed. 33 people found this helpful

I bought this specifically to display Live View for my Ring doorbell. With a little help from a YouTube video I linked Alexa to Ring and the thing works like a dream: when the doorbell is pressed, I get a full screen view of who is in front of the camera. On my setup, it happens within a couple of seconds. I have shuttered the camera on the Show for privacy, and I have switched off the microphone for the same reason. It’s easy to turn the microphone on with a switch at the top if I want to use the Alexa feature. That seems to work too but I doubt I will use it that often. The sound quality is very good so asking Alexa to play music might be a future use for me. Overall, I am very happy so far. Oh, I also bought one of the stands for it. Again, that works well. 35 people found this helpful

Lovely addition to our kitchen. Display screen and sound are both awesome. Very easy to set up all except for connecting it to ring doorbell. It keeps coming up with an error message when in the app. I have tried sooo many times! If anything one would like to offer help, I would very much appreciate it

So I collected my package from Gadget Tree this morning and could with to open. As I saw the item whilst opening my package, I said to myself “exactly what I needed”. This fits perfectly on my Apple Series 9 watch. I love it. Bought this band for work.
Will be ordering the blue one soon. It’s comfortable and good quality too. Perfect size, easy to install and love the color appearance.
