Priced at A$449.95, the Sense 2 is Fitbit's top-tier wearable. But if you're willing to spend an extra $70 for on-demand atrial fibrillation assessments and advanced tools to help you tackle stress, the Sense 2 is an excellent alternative. For most buyers, we prefer the $379.95 Fitbit Versa 4, which also tracks key health metrics like breathing rate, heart rate variability, and skin temperature variation. The Sense 2 offers some usability improvements over the original, including a more responsive touch screen, a physical button, and slightly better battery life, but we dislike the look of the new transparent display border for the heart rhythm sensor. Fitbit lowered the price this generation and removed several lifestyle apps, steering the Sense 2 more toward wellness in a bid to differentiate it from parent Google's Pixel Watch ($549). With new sensors, Fitbit's most advanced health-focused smartwatch monitors for physical signs of stress and helps you track your moods to stay mindful. Of course, there are caveats, and as I found out, quite a lot of them over the course of three months.Fitbit is doubling down on stress management with the Sense 2 (A$449.95). Combined with an updated heart rate monitor array, dubbed PurePulse 2.0, the Fitbit Sense has all the markings of being the most sophisticated health tracking watch on the market.

The Sense also features an ECG app, putting it on par with the likes of the Apple Watch 4/5/6 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2/ Watch 3 to have this functionality. However, the Sense wow-ed the crowd (ok, there was no crowd because it was just a Zoom call, like everything else in 2020) by being the world's first smartwatch to feature an EDA sensor. EDA here stands for Electrodermal Activity, and it's a more accurate way to detect stress. At first glance, the Versa 3 and the Sense share the same iconic square design, and both devices finally get the on-board GPS update we've been waiting for since the Charge 4 (if your curious, I also have a video review of the Charge 4). While Fitbit did launch the Versa 3, it was eclipsed by a new device called the Fitbit Sense. When Fitbit announced their Fall 2020 lineup of devices, we weren't expecting to see a brand new device that sits above the Versa series.
