Fitbit is one of the leaders in the health-tracking device market, and theres a good reason for that as its health trackers are smart, intuitive, and they get the job done.
Exercising regularly is critically important, but lets face it: its not easy to stay motivated and keep up with your fitness and workout routine. This is where a fitness tracker smartwatch becomes your best friend.
The Fitbit Sense 2 is Fitbits newest offering, and it improves on the original with a full redesign, the inclusion of a physical button, and a few extra features. Lets take a look at the full specifications and features list of the new Sense 2 smartwatch.
Quick Overview
The Fitbit Sense 2 features a very simple yet surprisingly sleek and sophisticated design for a fitness tracker smartwatch. Everything about this fitness tracker is aesthetically pleasing, and the watch itself is both comfortable to wear and packed with features.
There are also plenty of ways to accessorise and customise your Sense 2 smartwatch, new bands and replacement straps have finally arrived.
As a smartwatch, the Fitbit Sense 2 is not as versatile as other smartwatches, such as the Apple Watch SE or Samsungs Galaxy Watch 5, but then the Sense 2 is not primarily meant as an all-round smartwatch. When it comes to accurate health tracking, superb sleep monitoring, peerless stress tracking, and other dedicated health features, the Sense 2 is head and shoulders above the competition.

Features and Performance
As you can see, the Fitbit Sense 2 boasts an extensive assortment of features.
There are just too many of these features to explore in detail, but undoubtedly the most important are the health- and fitness-tracking features, which is where the Sense 2 really shines. The all-day body-response tracking is the star performer, and it uses the cEDA sensor to keep tabs on any signs of stress in your body.
And for those who are into mental wellness, the smartwatch tracks these stress signs and delivers on-screen prompts to draw attention to your stress levels, and ask you to reflect on your emotional state. Beyond that, the Sense 2 readily does everything youd expect from a fitness tracker, including monitoring steps and calories, blood oxygen tracking, and even skin temperature sensing and heart rhythm assessment.
Battery life is also excellent, with a lifespan of about a week if you turn off the Always On display, and about two to three days if you have the Always On display toggled. All in all, that isn't bad when compared to other smartwatches and fitness trackers.
