Fitbit Sense review: Good health watch, average smartwatch

If you're specifically in the market for a watch to help monitor your health - and you're happy to pay the monthly subscription for the extra insights - then the Sense is a really great device with so much data.

Pros:
  • Solid and premium design
  • Lovely vibrant display
  • Easy to use
  • Fitbit app is brilliant
  • Good accessory collection
  • Great sleep tracking
  • Spotify support
  • Great health features
Cons:
  • Heart-rate sensor slow to respond
  • Smartphone notifications pointless
  • No Google Assistant yet
  • Limited third-party app support
  • Fitbit Pay support from banks is minimal
  • Lots of features locked behind Fitbit Premium

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.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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

Fitbit Sense Lunar White/Gold FB512GLWT review

The Fitbit Sense has definitely impressed us so far, with the new EDA sensor, improved battery life and built-in GPS making a good case for upgrading.

  • New focus on health tracking
  • Great battery life
  • Fast GPS tracking
  • Informative running data
Cons:
  • Offline playback limited to Pandora/Deezer
  • Overzealous step counter
