Fitbit Sense 2

Physical button is back ; Reliable resting heartrate data ; Strong sleep tracking features

Sluggish software ; Missing smartwatch features ; Some new features not available yet

The Fitbit Sense 2 feels like a better watch for monitoring different aspects of your health but a worse smartwatch than the original Sense. If you want the best that Fitbit can offer on all fronts, then you might be best avoiding this one.

Good battery life ; Comfortable ; Fairly easy-to-understand interface

No music support ; Heart rate reliability is not top-tier ; Subscription is required to unlock its full powers ; No third-party app support

The Fitbit Sense 2 is an enjoyable-to-use casual health and fitness tracker that demands less upkeep than an Apple Watch, but the new closed-off approach for this series makes the watch less flexible than its predecessor.

Beautiful, dainty design ; Premium build quality and materials used ; Excellent sleep and stress tracking performance ; Updated user interface is easy to navigate

No WiFi connectivity ; No music storage or even control options ; No third-party app support (currently, not even for Google products)

The Fitbit Sense 2 is an excellent health smartwatch that stuns with its updated user interface and improved stress tracking features. However, probably due to being part of the broader Google wearable portfolio, the Sense 2 has lost some key features,...

Solid and premium design ; Lovely vibrant display ; Easy to use ; Fitbit app is brilliant ; Superb stress and sleep tracking ; Great health features ; Excellent battery life

Heart-rate sensor slow to respond ; Smartphone notifications pointless ; No Google Wallet or Maps yet ; Limited third-party app support ; Some features locked behind Fitbit Premium

If you're after a device that offers basic smartwatch functionality, but tracks activity accurately, offers excellent sleep tracking and has a range of health features like superb stress tracking, the Fitbit Sense 2 is fantastic and in a world of its own.

Reliable fitness tracking features ; Bigger push on stress monitoring ; Addition of physical button

Loses features from first Sense ; Stuttering software ; Still just okay sports tracking

A sleek watch made for health and wellness monitoring that’s a poorer smartwatch thanks to some missing features from the original.

Improved software ; Deep metric tracking ; Solid battery life

Clunky user experience ; No music controls ; No third party apps

The Fitbit Sense 2 is useful for fitness tracking and mindfulness, but it has fewer smartwatch features than the older model and isn’t as polished as similarly priced Apple or Samsung alternatives.

Great stress monitoring, ECG and EDA scans, improved user experience, decent app, overall holistic health monitoring great

Needs Premium subscription for full functionality, device display might be too small for some, temperature monitor only do so at night, sensors not needed by everyone

Highly responsive interface Excellent display Rugged and highly water resistant Advanced fitness and health tracking Comfortable to wear

A bit pricey Audio quality for calls isn’t great

“The Fitbit Sense 2 is a highly capable smartwatch with a powerful array of sensors that put the focus on fitness and health.”
