Google’s Fitbit Sense 2 offers a robust set of advanced health and fitness features to help you manage stress levels, monitor heart health, and improve sleep quality. One of its most innovative features is the Body Response sensor, which continuously tracks electrodermal activity, or cEDA, during the day, allowing Fitbit to identify patterns of potential stress responses. The device also prompts you to pause and breathe when your body indicates it has entered a stress response state. And with battery life exceeding six days, you don’t need to recharge this device each evening.
A health-focused smartwatch with stress, heart, and sleep tracking
This version of the Fitbit is designed for people who want a more feature-rich smartwatch experience focused primarily on wellness. The Sense 2 includes a bright AMOLED display screen, Body Response sensor technology, an ECG application, high and low heart rate notifications, irregular rhythm notifications, blood oxygen level and skin temperature tracking capabilities, sleep tracking and scoring, integrated GPS mapping, over 40 different types of exercises tracked using Fitbit, Google Maps integration, and Google Wallet functionality, as well as water resistance up to 50 meters.
The Body Response sensor captures changes in electrical signals emitted by your body through your skin while measuring both heart rate and skin temperature. It then uses this information to identify times when you may be experiencing elevated stress. Your daily Stress Management Score is calculated based on how effectively your body responds to stressors. When the Body Response sensor indicates it, you’re prompted to begin one of several guided breathing techniques.
You can also use the ECG app to assess your heart rhythm and monitor for signs of atrial fibrillation, and you’ll receive alerts if your heart shows irregular rhythms or excessively high or low heart rates. You can monitor blood oxygen saturation, skin temperature, sleep stages, and your nightly Sleep Score to better understand how effectively you recover after physical activity.
Its built-in GPS lets you map running, biking, or hiking routes without needing your smartphone. The Sense 2 offers numerous exercise modes, letting you track many forms of exercise, from weightlifting and strength training to swimming. Active Zone Minutes show how intense your workouts are, helping you stay focused on your goals. With a Fitbit Premium subscription, you can access your Daily Readiness score, which indicates whether your body is ready for strenuous activity or needs more time to rest and recover.
You can navigate with Google Maps on your wrist using turn-by-turn directions, make mobile payments with Google Wallet, and receive Bluetooth-enabled phone calls and view notifications. You can also use Amazon Alexa to quickly answer questions and provide reminders. A 12-minute charge provides enough power for a full day. Always-on display options let you see the time and relevant fitness stats at a glance.
The Fitbit Sense 2 combines cutting-edge stress management technologies with advanced heart health tools and useful smart features within a slim, lightweight, and wearable form factor. That makes it an ideal tool for better understanding your body and building positive lifestyle habits.
