FitbitSense 2 Advanced Health and Fitness Smartwatch with Tools to Manage Stress and Sleep, ECG App, SpO2, 24/7 Heart Rate and GPS, Shadow Grey/Graphite, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

I’ve had the Fitbit Sense 2 for a couple months now, and I’ve been really impressed with what it offers. I’ve tried a few smartwatches over the years, but this one stands out because it actually helps me stay on top of my health without being overwhelming.What’s working well:Stress tracking: The built-in sensor that tracks stress throughout the day has been more useful than I expected. It lets me know when I’m a bit too tense and reminds me to take a breather.Sleep tracking: Super detailed and pretty accurate. It’s not just telling me how long I slept, it’s breaking it down into stages and helping me figure out why some nights feel more restful than others.Health features: Between heart rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen tracking, I feel like I’ve got a better grip on how I’m doing overall. It’s not medical-grade, of course, but it’s enough to be helpful.Battery life: I easily get 5–6 days per charge, which is great since I wear it overnight for sleep tracking.Comfort and design: It looks good and wears comfortably. Lightweight and low-profile, which I appreciate.Things to keep in mind:It’s not a full-blown smartwatch with tons of apps or customization options. It’s built for health tracking, and it stays in that lane.You can’t type out full text messages on it, just use quick replies or voice-to-text. That hasn’t been an issue for me, but it’s worth knowing.If you're looking for a smartwatch that focuses on wellness and helps you build better habits, this is a great pick. It doesn’t try to do everything, but what it does, it does really well. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to track their health in a simple, reliable way.

Amazing. One of my favorite purchases I made in a while.The app is incredible, I have a pixel 9 pro and the Fitbit app was already installed. Upon connecting my sense 2 to it, it functions even better. I love the nutritional aspect and all of the fitness aspects. Makes it super easy to track in and out calories because it's already done.I primarily do weightlifting/powerlifting/bodybuilding and I'm currently taking a break due to injuries, and using this for everyday fitness is superb. Can't wait to see how it is when I'm back in the gym. The sleep stats are phenomenal as well. I already notice my sleep habits changing.I did notice a few glitchy things, like the weather and sync issues. But these aren't a problem if you give it proper time to catch up. Meaning, if you check it immediately in the morning (like me) it won't sync properly. Just give it 20 mins and go about your routine and it will catch up.Can't recommend this any more. If you're thinking about one, just buy it.

It does everything, and fairly well.The touch interface used to be almost useless. It was extremely jumpy and often detected a drag as a button press. They've massively improved it in the January 2025 update, but it still mis-detects drags as taps sometimes, and to very annoying outcomes. Like setting an alarm I didn't want. Or registering my emotional state which I have to open the phone app to fix.But I'm perplexed why it doesn't track routes climbed or elevation gains while climbing. Or why it doesn't automatically detected climbing using geo-location. I climb at the same gym multiple times a week. It should know that I'm climbing when I go there and my heart rate elevates. Similarly, I think it should know when I'm at my weight-lifting gym. I'm tired of having to clumsily scroll through activities to pick the appropriate one. Heck, shouldn't it know I'm swimming or surfing when I'm at the beach? Can't it detect when it is submerged in water and activate the swim mode so that the touchscreen isn't randomly detecting touches from water particles?The main reason I chose the Sense 2 over other options, was for the emotional state notifications. But they're too delayed to help me recognize when I'm stressing and to relax. I frequently notice them hours after the event. I think the notification actually waits until I'm done stressing, rendering it useless for stress management. Frequently I get the notification ten minutes after the incident, but I think that might only be if it was a short-lived stressful event. My Garmin Vivo Active wristband was much better at this. It would vibrate and display a helpful meditative breathing exercise within a couple minutes of sensing my stress. It helped me massively improve my stress management. This watch on the other hand, is only good at recording stressful events. Or calming down when I recognize that I'm stressing out by myself. The EDA scan is really helpful in getting me to relax, but I have to know when to use it. I wish I didn't have to tell it which type of stress I was experiencing every time; isn't Google a machine learning company? Can't it guess at what type of stress event I experienced?Some reviewers complained about delayed heart rate monitoring. I experienced that a couple times early on but they seem to have fixed the issue in an update.
