The sleep score on the Fitbit Sense 2 (Image credit: Nick Harris-Fry / Future) Sports Tracking The Sense 2 had a couple of misfires where it broke up my unbroken sleep into two portions and gave me a low sleep score for each, but in general it seemed to track accurately, and the colour-coded breakdown you get in the app is clear and detailed. You also miss out on some sleep analysis like sleeping heart rate and restlessness if you don’t stump up for Fitbit Premium after six months, but even without the extra analysis I was impressed by the sleep tracking on the Sense 2. I’m still disappointed that features like these are locked behind a paywall, especially when you’re already spending $300/£270 on a fitness-focused watch. There are more engaging challenges in Fitbit Premium, as well as the daily readiness score which provides an activity target based on an estimate of how much exercise your body can handle. The user interface on the watch has been improved too so it’s easy to check all your daily activity stats in the widgets you swipe through, and there are challenges within the Fitbit app that can help motivate you to increase your step count each day. Activity And Sleep TrackingĪs with all Fitbits, the activity and sleep tracking on the Sense 2 are impressive. This temperature sensor is also integral to the menstrual tracking on the watch.
Of all the fitness trackers I’ve tested, the Sense 2 goes furthest in its focus on stress.Īt the time of writing I am a bit under the weather and it’s worth noting the Fitbit Sense 2 did spot the rise in my skin temperature overnight. The Sense 2 will also prompt you to take EDA readings or do guided breathing sessions to help you reduce your stress levels.

This involves picking from one of eight emotions – excited, happy, content, calm, sad, worried, frustrated and stressed. Your heart rate and heart rate variability also inform your stress rating, and the Sense 2 will prompt you to log your mood throughout the day. The key improvement on the 2 is that it tracks EDA continuously throughout the day to help monitor your stress levels.
Like the original Sense, the Sense 2 can take an electrocardiogram (ECG), measure your blood oxygen saturation and skin temperature, and track your electrodermal activity (EDA).
