This is a change from some of the more fitness-orientated devices as the default choice of these four statistics differs from the others. While many other models offer three quick-view statistics on the homepage, the Sense 2 offers four: Stress score, heart rate, Active Zone Minutes (how many minutes you've been exercising for that day), and sleep score. One highlight of using the Sense 2 over other Fitbits is the layout of the homepage on the small, square-shaped screen of the device. Also accessible from your wrist is the useful self-timer and the weather outlook for the day. It was also easy to start workouts from my wrist, with just one swipe left needed to access my favorite workout modes, and another touch to get going with a workout. Android users can take advantage of the Google Map and Wallet functions that iOS customers miss out on until Spring 2023. These are useful health-monitoring sensors that aren't included on many older versions of Fitbit but they do a feature on most newer models like the Fitbit Versa 4 and 3, along with trackers like the Fitbit Charge 4 and Fitbit Inspire 3.Īs a smartwatch, the Fitbit Sense 2 also has other beneficial day-to-day features, like the ability to receive calls, texts, and app notifications, take on-wrist calls via Bluetooth, and pay for products with Fitbit Pay. Other advanced sensors are included on the Sense 2 as well, such as blood glucose tracking, an EDA scan app for advanced stress management, and Sp02 blood oxygen level tracking. Breathing rate: Changes in your regular breathing rate outside of exercise could also be a sign of other wellness issues, and the Sense 2 can monitor this.Skin temperature sensor: Allows you to detect any changes in your skin temperature over time, which can signal wellness issues such as a fever or incoming illness.This could be a sign of overtraining, lacking sleep, habitual burnout, and more, so it would be important to discuss this with a doctor too. Heart rate variability: This is the time between your heartbeats and the Sense 2 can detect any downward trends provided you wear your device to bed.You can then share the results with your doctor.

ECG app: Allows you to assess your heart rhythm and the device flags signs of atrial fibrillation, which is an irregularity.
