In moments of stress, it asks you to reflect on how you're feeling and offers suggestions to help you chill out. The main upgrade to this year's model is a new Body Response sensor that measures continuous EDA (cEDA) activity for all-day stress tracking with notifications. 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. Priced at A$449.95, the Sense 2 is Fitbit's top-tier wearable. 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 $379.95 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 ($549). 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. Fitbit is doubling down on stress management with the Sense 2 (A$449.95).
