Then there is the Fitbit OS that has remained mostly unchanged over the years in terms of the interface. Then there are features such as menstrual health tracking, active sleep tracking, smart alarms, guided breathing, Always-on-Display and voice assistant support that have become somewhat of a standard now.īasically, Sense is offering a host of fitness tracking features that are powered by a wide gamut of sensors working together in harmony to make this smartwatch as proficient as it is. Sense's feature line up includes an EDA Scan app, that divulges details about your stress levels, an ECG app, that talks about your heart health and alerts you if you show signs of atrial fibrillation, a blood oxygen monitor, an on-wrist skin temperature sensor, PurePulse 2.0, built-in GPS and snore and noise detection functionality to name a few.
