– Fitbit Sense has dedicated skin temp sensor (versus estimated temp in Versa 3) – Fitbit Sense has EDA Scan app for tracking electrodermal activity – Fitbit Sense has High/Low heart rate notifications – Fitbit Sense has New Stress Management Tracking – Includes 6-month free trial of Fitbit PremiumĪnd in case you were wondering how it differs from the Fitbit Versa 3 ( full in-depth review here), ask and you shall receive: – Changed accessory bands to have better quick release system – Display is Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and bezel is polished stainless steel – New AMOLED display with integrated ambient light sensor – Added ability to take calls from wrist using mic/speaker (planned Winter 2020-21) – Adding Google Assistant later this year (previously had Amazon Alexa, still does have that)
– Added new PurePulse 2.0 optical HR sensor (new sensor)
– Added Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Tracking – Added EDA Scan app for tracking electrodermal activity – Added Breathing Rate (per minute), while you sleep – Added High/Low Heart Rate Notifications – Added Skin Temperature Sensors (on wrist) Here’s the quick run-down of what’s new compared to previous Fitbit smartwatches (this technically would be above the Ionic, but it’s probably more akin to a super-high-end Versa series): Almost every new feature the company added this year is about sensing data or some metric, and ideally making sense of that data (which, in some cases will require a Fitbit Premium subscription). The Fitbit Sense is literally the most correctly named wearable ever. If you find this review useful, simply hit up some of the link at the end of the post. Once I’m done I’ll package it up and get it back to them. Or, simply hit the Play button below.įinally, note that Fitbit sent out a media loaner Fitbit Sense unit for me to poke at. So, come along for the ride on the review of this watch. The challenge is – with a name that could be derived from Sensing or Sensor, two core questions arise, first: Is it accurate?Īnd second: Does it give you actionable guidance from that data?Īnd as the title you’ve by now read implies, the answer to both is a resounding no. As you remember, Google’s acquisition of Fitbit hasn’t been approved by regulators, and as such, they’re still largely operating in their own little bubble. Whether or not they can pull that off will directly dictate the near-term future of the company. If you’ve used a Versa or Ionic unit in the past few years, this isn’t much different usage-wise.īut Fitbit is betting that all of the underlying sensor tech is what will draw you to the Sense. Yet on the other end, the interface and day to day aspects basically feel like any other Fitbit. On one hand, it’s vastly more expensive than any recent Fitbit smartwatch with vastly more sensors. The Fitbit Sense is both a departure from the norm and not, for Fitbit.
