The Fitbit brand is no stranger to the world of fitness tracking, but it’s ably competing with the latest smartwatches with the new Fitbit Sense. This is the most advanced product the manufacturer has to offer, notably because it packs more sensors than any other smartwatch in its lineup. This collection of tools measures changes in health by monitoring heart rate (ECG), oxygen saturation (SPO2), electrodermal stress response (EDA), and fluctuations in skin temperature.

The Sense also conveniently offers built-in GPS, voice assistance, and access to popular app integrations like Spotify and Starbucks. It all centers around the Fitbit companion app, which offers in-depth stats and device customization for a smartwatch experience that’s unmistakably a health and wellness-focused device that delivers above all else on the usability front.

The Fitbit Sense is a stylish smartwatch with a sporty-yet-luxurious feel that the manufacturer says is “inspired by the human body” for a more intuitive fit. Premium materials include heavy-gauge aluminum and a rounded stainless steel bezel rim that look and feel durable. The Sense comes with a newly designed seamless Infinity band to neatly tuck and secure the band close to your skin. Both small and large options come in the box and are soft and lightweight. The standard small band fits wrists as small as 5.5 inches, making the Sense a great smartwatch for women with smaller wrists.

As someone with a small wrist, which sits just on the lower end of the small band size, I found it easy to find a snug, but not perfect, fit. The low profile and supple texture of the band kept it from feeling suffocating or causing much discomfort, although it did sometimes feel a little heavy after a full day of wear.
