While the Sense 2 retains advanced fitness-tracking features, it lost some of the smarts it had on the original. Compared to the original An update to the stress-detecting EDA (electrodermal activity) sensor plays a large role in the device’s success: now called cEDA ('c' for continuous,) the sensor monitors stress levels or heightened responses throughout the day, prompting the user to take action on mood monitoring with Body Response notifications. The Sense 2 also maintains that skin temperature reader that's since been introduced for the However, added support for Google Wallet and Google Maps, while useful upgrades, won’t be available for the Fitbit Sense 2 at launch. There’s oddly no third-party app support, either. Still, the second-generation Sense still holds its own.

The Fitbit Sense is an excellent health watch and an OK smartwatch. However, its place within the Fitbit lineup makes less sense this time, with so many of its features being ubiquitous across the range. The Stress Management functions make the Sense 2 unique, but we’re not sold on their effectiveness. The Fitbit Versa 4 seems the Fitbit smartwatch to choose this time around. Alternatively, enjoy a fuller smartwatch experience via the Google Pixel Watch. We loved the original Fitbit Sense back in 2020, which arrived mid-pandemic with a focus on health tracking that truly resonated with us. Since then, things have changed.

It’s an improvement, but the Sense 2 also feels like a downgrade from the It leaves the Fitbit Sense 2 without as clear a sense of direction as we’d like. However, it’s still a good fit for passive, casual health and fitness tracking, and for those who have a lighter workout routine, where somewhat patchy heart rate accuracy won’t be a deal-breaker.
