It's $80 at Amazon. Price mistake most likely.

no support (looks to be indefinite) for google assistant (rumor is so that google promotes ppl to get google watch instead)

For now (coming soon via firmware/software update, no timeline provided) calls, text, google maps/wallet

For people who want only health-related sensors, this is an excellent upgrade at $80. By no means is this a $200 watch, though.

From what I can see, Google seems to be positioning the new Pixel watch as its smart watch offering and positioning the Sense 2 as more of the "most comprehensive fitness tracker" and less of a smart watch. So I guess for folks who mainly used the Sense as a fitness tracker and didn't use the smart watch functionality, the loss of Google Assistant, music player controls, etc. won't be a big deal. I really like the 5-6 day battery life of my Sense (v1), and that's a big part of why I haven't picked up an Apple Watch or Pixel Watch.

The $80 deal seems to have been around for brief window and was limited to 1 per account. The current $200 price is also limited to 1 per account, so not sure if the $80 was intentional or a mice pristake. Water under the bridge, though, since it's back to $200 now.

Downgrade includes:

1) No Google Assistant. The original allowed you to choose between Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, this one just gives you Amazon Alexa. While Alexa should work for a lot of things, if you've gone in on the Google ecosystem, this can hurt.

2) No Wi-Fi. The original allowed you to use Wi-Fi, so if you weren't close enough to your phone, it could still communicate with it and really sped up updates. This is nowhere to be found on this one, though rumors say it is still in the watch, just no way of activating it.

3) No 3rd party apps. You used to be able to download apps on the watch like Deezer, Spotify, or C25K, not any more. You are stuck with a handful of stock apps.

4) You can no longer control your phone's currently playing from the watch.

5) No on wrist Bluetooth calling. The original Sense allowed you to take phone calls through your watch. The Sense 2 does not even though it has a mic, speaker, and Bluetooth.

6) No Google Wallet or Google Apps (supposedly this is the only feature coming soon) even though Google owns Fitbit.

7) No snore detection. This is a Fitbit premium feature supported by then Sense, but is no longer supported by the Sense 2. Even worse, once you "upgrade" your Sense to the Sense 2, your previous snore reports disappear.

Sad to say, they have golf but do not have volleyball in the list of activities. The request to add volleyball is more than 2 years old on fitbit site already (((

Listen haters. Some people want a fitness tracker watch... If you want a phone watch go with apple, android, or Google. This is *cough* a FITNESS watch. $200 is a fantastic deal
