If you bought a Fitbit in the past, you’d be stuck with the pretty poorly supported Fitbit Pay. One good thing to come from Google’s $2.1 billion buy out? After a delayed launch, Google Pay is now on its latest watches, and that includes the Fitbit Sense 2. Like Fitbit’s other products, the Sense 2 is a great watch for casual fitness seekers who need a bit of guidance from a brilliantly intuitive app. The Sense 2 is specifically about wellness, with sensors for temperature, stress and blood oxygen levels. It tracks activity, offers breathing exercises and has a week-long battery life. But Fitbit OS is a lot more limited than Wear OS, and bafflingly Fitbit has made it even more so for this generation, stripping features like music playback, WiFi and the app gallery. If it weren’t for Google Pay and Google Maps, there’d be a very good case for buying a Sense 1 instead.
The Fitbit Sense 2 has been our favorite Fitbit for some time, and right now it’s one of the better smartwatch and fitness tracker deals available. It regularly goes for $250, but Amazon and Best Buy both have it on sale for $50 off. That brings its price down to $200, which is one of the best prices the Sense 2 has seen since its release. It’s available in several color options at both retailers with six months of free Fitbit Premium included with a purchase.
Why you should buy the Fitbit Sense 2
The Fitbit Sense 2 comes with all of the health and fitness tracking features that Fitbit users have come to love. It can help manage stress with stress detection capabilities and a daily Stress Management Score, and it can also provide insights on sleep patterns to help you rest better throughout the day and devise ways to get a better night’s sleep. It also comes with a smart wake alarm and a do not disturb mode.
There are plenty of fitness tracking abilities aboard the Sense 2 as well. It has a built-in GPS and workout intensity map, and it has the ability to track more than 40 different exercises and sports activities. 24/7 heart rate tracking, automatic exercise tracking, and simple things like step count are also part of the package. The Sense 2 is water resistant up to 50 meters, so it’s a popular choice among water sports athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.
But the Sense 2 is also a great option if you’re looking for something that has features more commonly found among smartwatches. It has access to Google Wallet and Google Maps, and Amazon Alexa is built right into the watch’s software for voice commands and assistance. You can even take phone calls on the Sense 2 when you have it paired with your smartphone.
The six-month free membership to Fitbit Premium is a nice throw-in with this smartwatch, as it gives you access to plenty of additional features. It adds even more value to this deal, which sees the Fitbit Sense 2 marked down to $200. That’s $50 off its regular price, and one of the best prices we’ve seen on this Fitbit since its release.
