Fitbit Sense 2

The Fitbit Sense 2 is a solid option if you’re looking for a health-focused smartwatch. Priced at £249, it’s got a decent set of features that cater well to fitness enthusiasts and those interested in monitoring their wellbeing. The AMOLED display is sharp and vibrant, which is always a plus, and it measures in at a handy 1.58 inches, making it easy to read without being too bulky on your wrist.

One of the standout features is the EDA sensor that helps track stress levels, which is becoming a pretty big deal these days. It’s also got a good suite of health tracking capabilities, like heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels, and sleep tracking. If you’re into tracking your workouts, the built-in GPS is reliable, and it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, so you can take it for a swim without worrying about it getting ruined.

Battery life is another strong point; you can expect around six days on a single charge, which is decent compared to some competitors. However, there are some drawbacks. The software can feel a bit clunky at times, and the Fitbit OS isn’t quite as polished as some other platforms like Wear OS or watchOS. Plus, while the health features are robust, the app ecosystem isn’t as extensive, which might limit your options if you're looking for specific third-party apps.

Overall, I’d give it an 80 out of 100. It’s a good value for money considering the health features packed in, but you might find the user experience lacking if you’re used to more refined platforms. If your main focus is health tracking and you don’t mind a few quirks, the Sense 2 is definitely worth a look.
