This holds some of the stuff you can access in those stat screens, plus some smarter extras. And a press of the side button takes you to the Sense 2’s take on an apps menu. You flick up from the watch face to see notifications, which look great on the Sense’s good-size screen. There’s a sum up of the day’s stats, a graph of your heart rate over the day, a weather report, and a few other bits - Fitbit staples. You flick left and right from the watch face to see your daily stat screens. The change is actually a positive one as well. This makes sense when you consider Google now owns Fitbit, and these watches have to find a way to live in harmony - or at least as much as family members tend to. However, the Fitbit OS interface has been given a revamp in the Sense 2, and it brings the layout much closer to that of the Pixel Watch. (Image credit: Andrew Williams) Fitbit Sense 2: Features It’s light, and 5ATM water resistance means it’s happy enough in the shower or swimming pool. The Fitbit Sense 2 is absolutely a watch you can wear more-or-less 24 too. It’s otherwise bright and colourful, and has an always-on mode worth trying if you’re happy with two-to-three days of battery life rather than six.
The Fitbit Sense 2 has the least sharp display of the bunch, but you’ll only notice if you look unusually close, to see the slight fuzziness to text. We’ve used a whole bunch of smartwatches recently, including the Pixel Watch, Apple Watch Series 8 and Garmin Epix 2. Its sides are aluminum and much of the back is plastic. The Fitbit Sense 2 has a lightly domed glass face, one much more square-shaped than most. Materials are the same as the original too. It’s the ideal tech for a smartwatch because emissive pixels let unlit parts of the screen sink into the background. However, this isn’t obvious all the time, just in certain lighting conditions that highlight where the screen ends, because the Sense 2 display is an OLED panel. Apple’s Watch Series 8 has a super-slim bezel, while the Fitbit Sense 2 a big ole’ chunky one, just like the original. The Sense 2 design isn’t super-fresh, then, but the look has only noticeably aged in one dimension. All those complaints about the annoying touch panel on the original paid off.
The two generations of watches have similar looks, and the big design change is as much a mea culpa as anything else.įitbit has added a physical button to the Sense 2. If you are already familiar with the Fitbit Sense series and are hoping for something new-looking in the Sense 2, we have bad news.
Fitbit released the Sense 2 in September 2022, two years after the original Sense.
