Fitbit Sense Smartwatch | New Buttonless Design

by

With its new $330 Sense smartwatch, Fitbit is hoping you’ll want a sensor that measures your body’s reaction to stress, as well as other things like skin temperature and blood oxygen. The device also introduces a new buttonless design but otherwise doesn’t look all that different from its previous smartwatches.

Still, the Fitbit Sense is the company’s stab at what it calls an “advanced health” device, and it’s full of features to help it meet that promise. It can feel overwhelming when confronted with all the new data, but the Sense lays the groundwork for a future when somebody will put all this information to good use.

The Fitbit Sense is a comprehensive health-tracking machine with basic smartwatch features and a new navigation system that can be difficult to master. It offers more wellness tools than Apple and Samsung at a lower price, and it’s especially great for people who don’t mind wearing a watch to bed to glean more information about their health.

Apple Watch Series 5 | Adds an Always-On Display

by

The Apple Watch Series 5 adds an always-on display to show the time all the time. An added compass aids navigation and improves elevation readings. However, battery life remains a day and a half at best.

No new health features, and the watch lacks native sleep tracking. It needs an iPhone to set up and work, and it offers only Apple’s growing but limited selection of watch faces. Apple’s subtly improved watch adds a key overdue feature and improved software with this update, but it remains mostly the same great smartwatch as last year.

The Apple Watch Series 5 isn’t super affordable, starting at around $400+, and in many ways, it’s nearly the same watch that last year’s Apple Watch Series 4 was. But its always-on display delivers one of the key features I’ve been wanting. I notice it a lot because now I can glance at the time when I’m typing—or casually watching TV. Or driving. No more weird arm twists.

It’s a feature that’s long overdue: The Pebble, Amazfit Bip, Fitbit Versa 2, Samsung Galaxy Watch, and Google Wear OS have had always-on modes for years. Always-on doesn’t improve battery life — in fact, it makes things a bit worse. But among smartwatches, the Apple Watch stands as the most feature-filled, well-performing wearable in existence.
