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

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

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...

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.

In the era before modern smartwatches, Fitbit's name became synonymous with wearable fitness trackers. Full-fledged smartwatches have become the norm as consumers have demanded more and more from wearables, and Fitbit stepped in with the Ionic and Versa smartwatches a few years ago.

Display It's sharp enough, gets bright outdoors, and Fitbit does a good job of hiding the bezels; Meaningful Fitbit OS improvements More reliable notifications, better shortcuts, always-on display, and more; Battery The Sense lasts the better part of a week (without always-on display).

Software kinks aside, the Fitbit Sense is a great smartwatch at a solid price.

Great design; Excellent health tracking features; Solid display

Sometimes frustrating app; Battery life could be better; Charging cable is too short
