The differences in the on-screen experience are similarly minimal to the design and sensor changes, though there are definitely a few to be aware of. We should note, though, that while Fitbit Pay is available on either device, only the Sense 2 offers support for Google Wallet. Other sensors, such as the optical heart rate sensor, GPS and GLONASS and more have remained the same, while NFC for contactless payments is also present on both. It's not really clear if these are good or bad changes, but, still, it's a decent enough tool for anybody who struggles to identify stressful triggers. It is better, obviously - especially given the fairly clunky integration on the Fitbit Sense - though we weren't entirely convinced of its use when we reviewed the Sense 2.Īlerts will tap you when your body's physical state changes, but there's not a lot of depth to what comes next. The major difference here is that the Sense 2's sensor monitors continuously. While the original Sense debuted an EDA sensor that's able to perform spot checks of the electrical levels on your skin and help you track stress, the Sense 2 steps this up with cEDA sensor. It's also one of the few major differences between the pair, though. And that means the array of sensors is still as good as it gets whichever model you opt for.

We've commented in our in-depth reviews that both the Fitbit Sense and Sense 2 are excellent health watches - much more so than they are smartwatches, even. The specs show that the Sense 2 is lighter, we should also say, likely thanks to having a slightly thinner case, but we can't say this is something we've massively noticed during testing. There's a 1.58-inch AMOLED display, the water resistance rating remains at 5 ATM and the battery life is still around six or seven days. It's now much easier to access, and, though it doesn't look quite as neat, it makes the Sense 2 a much friendlier device to interact with.Īs we say, it's the same story elsewhere when it comes to the overall design. However, there is one crucial difference - the solid state button from the original Sense, one that was located slightly on the underside of the bezel, has been replaced with a physical button on the Sense 2.
