The Fitbit Sense is an ambitious smartwatch that seems like a perfect fit for these stressful times, with as much emphasis on mental wellbeing as tracking physical workouts. There's room for improvement on the software side, but if you're interested in practicing mindfulness and making small steps towards a healthier lifestyle, the Sense could be just the tool to help you along the way.

Detailed mood and stress logging; On-board GPS for workouts; Extremely comfortable to wear;

Many tools require Fitbit Premium; Step counts not 100% inaccurate

For all-round physical and mental health tracking, the Sense is the Fitbit with it all.

Stress tracking; Great design and display; Calls from wrist; Fitbit app;

Non-buckle wrist strap; Some metrics for paying Premium subscribers only;

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. But if you're in the market for a smartwatch or fitness watch in general, however, the Fitbit Sense is currently outshone by its competitors.

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;

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;

The features I like the most are the health apps and reminders. I am over 70 and need reminders for regular medications and wear sense to bed and check my overnight oxygen levels.

This product has helped me stay motivated to exercise. Setting goals and having the watch celebrate when you reach it is so encouraging. Im still have a problem with my water not resetting at midnight.

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 ;

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;

The Fitbit Sense is a comprehensive health-tracking machine with basic smartwatch features and a new navigation system that can be difficult to master. It offers more wellness tools than Apple and Samsung at a cheaper price, and it’s especially great for people who don’t mind wearing a watch to bed...

Comprehensive health tracking tools; Bright and sharp display

Buttonless design requires learning; Somewhat sluggish performance

It's been three years since I first tested the Fibit Ionic and while it was a solid fitness watch, it didn't do well with consistently functioning as a GPS sports watch. For the past couple of weeks I've been testing Fitbit's latest watch with GPS, the Fitbit Sense .

Superb fit; finish; and design; Bright and clear AMOLED display; Lightweight and comfortable for 24/7 wear; Extensive health tracking capability; Smart alarm; Various health scores for understanding progress

No support for offline Spotify music; Basic data for exercise tracking; Swipes on the display don't always register; Solid state button is not as reliable as a physical button

Suivi du stress; Design et écran superbes; Appels depuis le poignet; Application Fitbit; Analyse détaillée du sommeil;

Assez peu d’applications compatibles; Fonctionnalités avancées réservées aux abonnés Premium; Manque de fluidité;
