FITBIT SENSE

How many steps did you take today? Did you drink enough water? Hmm, you could do with more sleep… The ways in which wearables can help us have come a long way. Fitbit’s buttonless Sense is an advanced health device that’s filled with many features. Not only does it measure your body’s reaction to stress, it takes into account things such as skin temperature and blood oxygen (Sp02). The all-new multipath heart-rate sensor and built-in GPS will bring out the best in your workout while the EDA stress scanner is just one step away from using Fitbit’s guided meditation and personalised deep-breathing sessions.

As smartwatches go, the Sense is super light (just 45.9 g including the band) and the screen is clear and easy enough to navigate. All the widgets are customisable and you can reorder them and choose which metrics matter to you most. You’ll need to connect to Fitbit’s app to manage your widgets (weather, Fitbit Pay, connecting to Spotify, or downloading a new clock face), but with its high-end design, six-day battery life, detailed health insights and unique approach to monitoring stress, the Fitbit Sense is the perfect smartwatch for anyone wanting to track their physical- and mental well-being.
