Fitbit Sense review
The Fitbit Sense is a fiercely ambitous smartwatch with mixed results. On the one wrist, you can’t help but admire its intention, and really investing your time in the vast amount of health data it stores for you will surely see you rewarded over time. We’re still getting to grips with the stress management stuff, which seems a bit opaque at first, but it’s a good addition to the Fitbit suite. As is a proper ECG. And that battery is excellent. On the other, however, you have a frustratingly temperamental smartwatch that, while nice to both wear and look at, is too slow and too buggy at the time of writing, and Fitbit’s app library is still a bit naff. If only it cared as much about performance as it does your health and wellbeing.
Comfortable to wear ; Nice OLED display; EDA, ECG, SpO2 and a skin temperature sensor make the Sense unrivalled for health features; Apple Watch-embarrassing battery life ;
Seriously buggy and slow; Data overload can be both vague and confusing; Forces you into selecting a certain watchface for SpO2 measurements ; You need Fitbit Premium to maximise it;
