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 review: An ambitious smartwatch that's getting better with time

The Sense tracks your stress, temperature, blood oxygen and sleep. But interpreting all this data can be puzzling. The Fitbit Sense adds a whole slew of sensors to the Fitbit lineup to track everything from stress to blood oxygen levels, temperature, sleep and even has an FDA-cleared electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). On top of all that, the $329 (£299, AU$499) Sense also doubles as a regular smartwatch and fitness tracker. And while the Sense still has fitness at its core, it wants to be your daily wellness coach now, too.
Pros:
  • Always-on screen is bright and easy to see
  • Detailed sleep analysis
  • ECG is easy to use
  • Built-in GPS
  • Google Assistant is versatile
Cons:
  • Stress tracking doesn't tell you much yet
  • No onboard music storage
  • Not as responsive or fast as other smartwatches
