I will be purchasing a Fitbit sense once I receive my refund.
I would go with the versa. Yes the sense allows you to take calls from your wrist but the volume is so low you can barely hear them nor them you. Also it drains your phone and watch battery significantly since you are constantly running the two in the background. Plus, ive noticed I look like a huge dork yelling into my watch. The volume doesn’t stay where you put it, each time you hang up, the volume goes right back to being low and you have to turn it to the max every time someone calls. The versa still let’s you text, reject or answer calls from your wrist and its much cheaper.
