Fitbit Sense 2

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.”

Haptic button is vastly improved ; Still chic looking and very light ; Simple and snappy operation ; Google Wallet available via an update

Many features are hidden behind a paywall ; Moderately accurate sensors for pulse measurement and GPS ; Closed ecosystem ; Only one model available for all wrist sizes ; Still no Google Maps support

The Fitbit Sense 2 is a lightweight, chic, and practical fitness watch, but it is more of a big fitness tracker than a smartwatch, really. There are virtually no apps, and the smart features are very limited, especially since we are still waiting for...

Full-featured health tracking ; Handsome design ; Battery can last a week with light use

No Google Assistant; Google Maps and Google Wallet missing at launch ; First Fitbit Sense was stainless steel, this one's aluminum ; No music functionality

At $300, the Fitbit Sense 2 is more affordable than its predecessor was at launch, but I'm still not sure what you're getting here is worth the asking price. The Sense 2 does track just about every health metric you could ask for in a wearable, and the...

The physical button is a much-needed improvement ; Interface overhaul ; Up to six days of battery life ; Lighter and slimmer than its predecessor

Maps and Wallet coming "later" ; Only one size is available ; No Google Assistant ; Can't stream or download music

From a fitness and health tracking standpoint, the Fitbit Sense 2 has a lot to offer, especially thanks to the included Premium membership. The overhauled interface is much more pleasant to interact with, while the physical button is excellent. But we...

I will say the Sense 2 reminded me that compatibility with both iOS and Android is a huge benefit for Fitbit that I hope doesn’t change. Not everyone wants their smartphone to dictate their choice in smartwatch.

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,...
