Here is the best gadget for men today-
Fitbit Sense
There’s a fitness tracker for every activity level and lifestyle, but the Fitbit Sense smartwatch really ups the ante in the fitness tracker category. It has the same features as most fitness trackers on the market (think heart rate tracking, physical activity monitoring, etc.), helping you keep tabs on your workouts and stay on track with those New Year’s Goals. But the Fitbit Sense smartwatch is more than a personal trainer on your wrist. It also monitors your sleep cycles and helps you stay in tune with your mental health by measuring your stress levels. That’s why we took the time to review the Fitbit Sense’s features and stats, so you can determine if this tracker is right for you.
What makes it that best?
⦿ Materials
Made from a stainless-steel frame, Gorilla Glass 3 display, and innovative biosensor core, the Fitbit Sense is built to last. The underside of the watch (that sits on your wrist) is made of aluminum.
⦿ Dimensions
The watch screen measures 1.59-inches (3.8 cm.) across and .49-inches (1.24 cm.) thick. The small band fits wrists 5.5 inches to 7.1 inches (14-18 cm.) in circumference. The large band fits wrist sizes ranging from 7.1- to 8.7 inches (18-22.1 cm) in circumference.
⦿ Design
The rounded-square touchscreen is similar to a smartphone where you can swipe intuitively to access apps, metrics, and tools. The left side of the watch has an indent that functions as a haptic button, which means it uses vibrations to communicate. One press turns the watch screen on and a double press brings up shortcuts. You can customize a long-press to invoke Alexa, timers, tools, and other functions.
The watch comes in three color and style options: a Sage grey band with a silver stainless steel frame; a Carbon/graphite band with a stainless-steel frame; and a Lunar white band with a soft gold stainless steel frame. Additional bands can be purchased separately, including vegan leather, silicone, nylon, steel, and sports options.
⦿ Metrics
The Fitbit Sense is equipped to track a multitude of metrics, providing you with detailed insight into your overall well-being. Some metrics like your heart rate will track automatically, while others you can enter manually. A few standout metrics include All four sleep stages (awake, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM) with a subsequent sleep score, breathing rate, steps taken, floors climbed, menstrual cycle tracker, food and water intake, oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring, skin temperature sensor, stress management, active zone minutes and calories burned.
Now that we’ve gotten some of the basics out of the way, let’s break down the details and see if this fitness tracker makes sense for you.
Fitness tracking:
- Great choice of workout options
- Good for heart rate zone training
- On-board GPS and Strava support
The Sense also tracks blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) as you sleep, which can help you spot signs of conditions such as sleep apnea, in which you stop breathing periodically during the night, resulting in disturbed sleep and fatigue in the morning. You will need to activate the sensor manually in your device’s settings and bear in mind that doing so will cause the battery to drain a little faster.
The Sense works with Android and iOS and the experience is consistent across ecosystems, with the exception of not being able to respond to text messages from the watch when you’re on iOS. There’s a microphone and speaker onboard so you can now take quick calls from your wrist with your phone nearby. You can also switch the callback and forth between your phone and the watch, which is a nice touch. The speaker sounds fine for a quick call, but we wouldn’t want to use it for any lengthy conversations. If you have an Android phone, you’ll also be able to use dictation or voice-to-text to respond to messages.
Finally, if you’re on a budget, the £98.84 Fitbit Inspire 2 is the ultimate entry-level activity band and the best Fitbit for you. For a third of the cost of the company’s smartwatches, Fitbit Sense is the perfect Gadgets gift for you!
