- Which is better for running and hiking?
- The Sense 2. It has built-in GPS and GLONASS, so it tracks routes without your phone. The ScanWatch Light has no built-in GPS and depends on a paired phone.
- Which lasts longer between charges?
- The ScanWatch Light, by a wide margin. Withings rates it at up to 35 days; Fitbit rates the Sense 2 at 6+ days, and GPS use cuts that to about 5 hours.
- Is the Sense 2 worth the extra money?
- At $188.30 versus $142.99, the Sense 2 costs about $45 more. That buys a color AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS and stress tracking. If you mainly want steps, sleep and a long battery, the ScanWatch Light is the better value.
- Which is better for sleep tracking?
- The Sense 2 goes deeper, with sleep stages, a nightly Sleep Score and a Sleep Profile (Premium). The ScanWatch Light tracks sleep but with less detail.
- Can I swim with either one?
- Yes. The Sense 2 is water resistant to 50 m and the ScanWatch Light is rated 5ATM, roughly the same. Neither is meant for diving.
- Which looks more like a normal watch?
- The ScanWatch Light. Its stainless steel case and analog hands with a grayscale OLED dial read as a traditional watch. The Sense 2 is a square-screen smartwatch.
