The Fitbit Sense 2 is an enjoyable-to-use casual health and fitness tracker that demands less upkeep than an Apple Watch, but the new closed-off approach for this series makes the watch less flexible than its predecessor.

The Fitbit Sense 2 is an advanced fitness-tracking smartwatch that helps monitor your mood with continuous EDA readings. Design and battery life are other major highlights, though no support for third-party apps or Google programs at launch might give you pause.

The $299.95 Fitbit Sense 2 adds a cEDA sensor for more advanced stress tracking, but it’s not as smart as the first-gen Sense. Ultimately, it’s a casualty of Google’s new Pixel Watch.

The Fitbit Sense 2 is a sleeker version of its predecessor with light hardware upgrades. And if it had the kind of smartwatch software features you’d expect from a wearable of this class and price, it’d be very easy to recommend. But due to puzzling design changes, it’s a nerfed version of the original Sense—which makes competitors like the Garmin Venu Sq Music Edition more appealing.

The Fitbit Sense 2 is useful for fitness tracking and mindfulness, but it has fewer smartwatch features than the older model and isn’t as polished as similarly priced Apple or Samsung alternatives.

If you're after a device that offers basic smartwatch functionality, but tracks activity accurately, offers excellent sleep tracking and has a range of health features like superb stress tracking, the Fitbit Sense 2 is fantastic and in a world of its own.

El reloj Fitbit Sense 2 resulta muy útil para todos aquellos que desean llevar a rajatabla el seguimiento del estado físico y parámetros de su salud. Sin embargo, echamos en falta algunas funciones de reloj inteligente que sí tenía el modelo anterior, lo que le hace perder puntuación frente a alternativas de precio similar.

The Fitbit Sense 2 feels like a better watch for monitoring different aspects of your health but a worse smartwatch than the original Sense. If you want the best that Fitbit can offer on all fronts, then you might be best avoiding this one.

The Fitbit Versa 4 expands further on the Versa 3, offering the same features with a few extras and refining the design again to match that of the Sense 2. It doesn't offer everything the Sense 2 does in terms of features, but there is plenty here..
