This replaces the capacitive sensor that was used as a “button” on the Sense and Versa 3, which was a pain to use. It breaks the immersion of the dark interface on the OLED display blending into the bezels, but it still looks pretty good on the whole.īut easily the biggest upgrade on the hardware front of the Fitbit Sense 2 and Fitbit Versa 4 is the hardware button on the side of each watch. The visual look of these sensors is striking, but it’s something you’ll either like or not. This results in an ECG setup that’s easier to use, though the results are probably equally accurate. The ECG sensors used for capturing data about your heart rhythm are moved into the glass display, rather than being under the metal frame. Looking at the Fitbit Sense 2, there’s a clear visual difference in the hardware. It’s not quite as comfortable as the default band on the Google Pixel Watch, but I like it, and after over two weeks of near-24/7 use, it hasn’t resulted in skin irritation. The included band is the same silicone option as was available on the Sense and Versa 3, and similar to what most smartwatches ship with nowadays. It’s probably just a quirk, but it might be something to keep in mind. That said, I did quickly notice that the third-party bands I was using with the Versa 3 wouldn’t connect to either the Sense 2 or Versa 4. It fits in well both in sporty and dressy situations, and Fitbit’s band mechanism makes it easy to switch between the right band for those scenarios. This time around is also even thinner than the previous generation. The relatively slim metal-bodied squircle shape is a good look on the whole. The Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4 are the first smartwatches released since Google took over, and while there’s still a lot to love, these smartwatches are major downgrades from their predecessors that are hindered by a focus on the Pixel Watch.įrom a hardware perspective, the Fitbit Sense 2 and Fitbit Versa 4 are virtually identical to their predecessors.
