The original Sense was the first smartwatch to feature an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor, which measures small electrical changes in your skin's sweat level to track your body's response to stress. The second-generation model features a thinner and lighter design, a more responsive touch screen, and better battery life than the original Sense, which launched in 2020 for $329.95. Priced at $299.95, the Sense 2 is Fitbit's top-tier wearable.

Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. But if you're willing to spend an extra $70 for on-demand atrial fibrillation assessments and advanced tools to help you tackle stress, the Sense 2 is an excellent alternative. For most buyers, we prefer the $229.95 Fitbit Versa 4, which also tracks key health metrics like breathing rate, heart rate variability, and skin temperature variation. The Sense 2 offers some usability improvements over the original, including a more responsive touch screen, a physical button, and slightly better battery life, but we dislike the look of the new transparent display border for the heart rhythm sensor. Fitbit lowered the price this generation and removed several lifestyle apps, steering the Sense 2 more toward wellness in a bid to differentiate it from parent Google's Pixel Watch ($349.99). With new sensors, Fitbit's most advanced health-focused smartwatch monitors for physical signs of stress and helps you track your moods to stay mindful.
