Yes, you heard it right, Fitbit Sense can tell you when you are too stressed. In a smartwatch, a user wants a few features more than just the standard features. There must be few extra things other than just fitness metrics and basic features like weather updates, messaging, and music. So, Fitbit has come up with Fitbit Sense, a watch that has many prominent features. This watch feels more like a lite version of the top-end complete smartwatch.



Fitbit Sense has a bright colored 1.6-inch touchscreen display that lets you access seven main functions out of the eight you want to use. Fitbit Sense offers a better battery performance than most of the smartwatches out there. Its battery can last up to a week on a single charge.

Fitbit Sense is packed with a more significant number of health and fitness monitoring features compared to many other smartwatches in its category.

The watch offers fitness tracking activities like running, walking, cycling, swimming, and more. It also provides ‘open goal’ activities like yoga and more. Fitbit Sense also offers native GPS, where you can leave your phone at your residence, and the watch will map your progress while you are running, walking, cycling, and more. Fitbit Sense has various advanced health metrics that match the level of the new flagship watch by Apple.

The watch can take ECG readings to track for and make you aware of the heart abnormalities if there are any. The EGC metric is the EU and the US FDA approved. Fitbit Sense also offers the same blood oxygen reader that is the most discussed feature in the upcoming Apple Watch 6.

Fitbit Sense can also tell you when you are too stressed. The watch offers one of the most exciting and newest health measurement tools, electro-dermal activity (EDA) scan. This tool has been added to the watch to detect your stress levels. The procedure is straightforward. You need to place your palm over the top of the watch, and so make sure your palm is touching the metal band surrounding the watch.

The watch then calculates a few things and provides you a score out of 100. Lower the score, the higher the stress levels, and vice versa. The watch comes at €329 and offers many sensors compared to many watches in its price range. It is comfortable to wear and provides a decent battery life, as discussed previously.

The watch is undoubtedly more budget-friendly when it comes to its price and form factor, compared to Apple’s Watch 6.However, no matter how much-advanced features a watch offers, those features cannot be relied upon for medical and diagnostic use. They only are the indicatives. Even though the ECG scan of the Fitbit Sense is EU and US FDA approved, still no medical practitioner would say to rely on it or any other fitness tracking watches. Still, they work great for giving you an overview of your health-related details.

Fitbit Sense only comes in a square-shaped 1.58-inch display with swappable strap bands. It looks like Fitbit has targeted the watch to smaller wrist sizes, mainly keeping in mind the female demographic. The watch is only 40mm smaller, similar to an Apple Watch.

Final Verdict

All in all, the Fitbit Sense has a reasonably-priced watch with great comfortable-to-wear design and features that compete with Apple’s Watch 6 and other high priced smartwatches in the market. The watch also offers Alexa support, which you can activate by long-press. You can access Alexa with the help of the built-in microphone, and also you can make the payments via Fitbit Pay.
