The Fitbit Sense 2 and the Versa 4 look very similar to their predecessors at first glance, but the button on the left is now haptic instead of touch-sensitive, the Sense 2 does without the metal ring around the display, the metal contacts for the electrocardiogram (ECG) are located under the front glass instead.

Both smartwatch models are a bit thinner and lighter than their predecessors, the cEDA sensor, like the ECG, is reserved for the more expensive Sense 2. This sensor measures the “continuous electrodermal activity”, i.e. the electrodermal activity of the skin, which allows the user’s stress level to be recorded around the clock. The first generation Fitbit Sense (approx. $220 on Amazon) was only able to measure the stress level sporadically, not continuously.

If too much stress is detected, users are reminded to breathe calmly for a minute or perform a guided relaxation session. The two smartwatches offer over 40 sports modes in total, including dancing and weightlifting. Fitbit has revised the watch’s software and introduced a new user interface based on Tiles, which is somewhat reminiscent of Google Wear OS 3.0.
