Fitbit Sense Lunar White/Gold FB512GLWT review
The Fitbit Sense delivers on the basics, but it's clear some features need more work....- High-end
- premium design Improved quick-release straps (Mostly) accurate GPS and heart rate sensors Skin temp sensor provides useful data Detailed sleep tracking ~6-day battery life
- Google Assistant
- Bluetooth calling unavailable at launch Bad inductive button SpO2 tracking requires dedicated watch face EDA and ECG sensors needs refining Fitbit OS still needs work
Fitbit Sense Lunar White/Gold FB512GLWT review
The Fitbit Sense is a big leap forward as a health watch, one that produces a lot of data but perhaps fewer insights. It’s the right device for these strange times. If you’re comfortable with that approach, then there’s a lot to like here.- Health data galore
- Stress and mindfulness
- We love temperature tracking
Fitbit Sense Lunar White/Gold FB512GLWT review
The early Fitbits were remarkable for how little you needed to interact with them, but the Sense flips that script. By piling on sensors and features to seemingly compete with Apple, the Sense has added as much complexity as capability.- Nice design and band swapping mechanism
- Loaded with next-gen sensors and tracking capabilities
- Very good battery life
- EDA quick scan takes too long
- Fitbit OS is less intuitive and more frustrating than ever
- Heavy reliance on Premium makes the price higher than it is
Fitbit Sense Lunar White/Gold FB512GLWT review
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...- Detailed mood and stress logging
- On-board GPS for workouts
- Extremely comfortable to wear
- Many tools require Fitbit Premium
- Step counts not 100% inaccurate

The Versa helped Fitbit reverse its fortunes after a long, gradual slide. The company was slow to embrace the smartwatch, and stumbled somewhat out of the gate with the Ionic. But the Versa found a perfect sweet spot that build atop generations of wearable health knowhow, key acquisitions like...
Fitbit Sense Lunar White/Gold FB512GLWT review
There’s no question Fitbit has packed in ‘all the sensors’ to the Fitbit Sense. The challenge is whether or not all that data is usable and actionable. And at this point I’m just not seeing that occurring yet.

Fitbit Sense Lunar White/Gold FB512GLWT review
When Fitbit announced the $329.95 Sense last month, it was being hyped as the company’s most-thorough health tracking device yet. With new features in the form of stress management (with electrodermal activity monitoring), skin temperature, oxygen saturation while you sleep, and an upcoming Food and...- Sleek design

- Solid-state button is fiddly

Fitbit Sense Review
Fitbit's premium, pricey Sense smartwatch puts a focus on your well-being with the ability to measure and monitor your stress, heart rhythm, skin temperature variation, and blood oxygen saturation. If you're like me, every headache or stuffy nose these days is accompanied by a strong case of COVID-19 paranoia. With its premium Sense smartwatch, Fitbit is giving you many of the features you want and need to monitor your health amid a global pandemic. At $329.95, it's the company's priciest wearable yet, but it packs sensors to measure the amount of oxygen in your blood, as well as changes in your skin temperature, stress level, and heart rhythm, in addition to the robust sleep and fitness tracking features Fitbit is known for. Its selection of downloadable apps pales in comparison with what's available on the Apple Watch, but it offers some welcome smartwatch features including Amazon Alexa support, Pandora and Spotify music controls, and Fitbit Pay mobile payments. If you're in the market for an attractive wearable with long battery life and a focus on health and wellness, the Sense is worth a look.
