When I activated the Sense and started tracking data, I found information from 2015 and earlier - the last time I wore a Fitbit. If you previously owned a Fitbit, your information is still available. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week, and the Sense helps you track your progress toward that goal. One of the most useful features is the ability to tap any health metric and get more information on what it means.įor example, “Zone Minutes” is the number of minutes you spent in the Active Zone, or the heart rate range that counts toward exercise. It only takes a short time to fully charge the Fitbit once it dies. With a six-day battery life, I never worried about it running out of charge throughout the day. If I only get six hours at night, but take an hour long nap later in the day, it updates the score to reflect that. It calculates an overall sleep score based on how much I sleep throughout the day. While the Garmin struggled to keep up with irregular sleep patterns (especially if I woke up in the middle of the night and go back to sleep), the Fitbit Sense’s automatic detection was much more accurate. One area where the Fitbit Sense stands out from equivalent Garmin products is in its sleep tracking. Premium subscribers get access to information like their breathing rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, oxygen saturation, and more. It also provides users with more detailed sleep tools, advanced insights into your health, better stress and mindfulness tools, and additional games and challenges to keep you motivated. The subscription includes content from numerous Fitbit partners, including Popsugar, Aura, and more. When you purchase a new device, it comes with a six-month free trial to test it out. If you subscribe to Fitbit Premium, you will have access to even more features that break down your stress management response.įitbit Premium is $10 per month or $80 per year. It allows you to log how you’re feeling at a given moment to to track your stress throughout the day. The Fitbit Sense also has stress management features.

Fitbit reminds you to get up and move, and tries to get you take at least 250 steps each hour.

Within the Fitbit app, you can log fluid and calorie intake, set a goal weight, and more. The Fitbit Sense excels at tracking vital information.
