But for the most part he seemed to be stress-free, according to the Sense.

One of Scott's initial readings showed a few EDA moments, which are those sweat-triggered incidents. The stress results so far have been vague. Fitbit offers guided audio meditation sessions for Fitbit Premium users to pair with the EDA scan, although we didn't find them particularly helpful or relaxing. You can also log how you feel at the end of the test, see your EDA responses and check if your heart rate went up or down. It's a little weird at first because you can't see anything on the screen while you're doing the scan, but once it's complete, you'll receive a vibration. But in the meantime all those charts, numbers and scores from the Sense can feel overwhelming, especially for someone with no medical training. The end goal for most of these is that all this data may someday help identify the onset diseases before the user experiences any symptoms. Samsung's newer Galaxy Watches include these metrics, as well as a stress test of its own, while the Oura ring also collects temperature data like the Sense. The Apple Watch has been leaning to wellness and health over the last few years, with a new blood oxygen feature, ECG app and fall detection feature.

And while the Sense still has fitness at its core, it wants to be your daily wellness coach now, too.įitbit is trying to bridge the gap between fitness and wellness with the Sense, a zone most wearables were already navigating even before the current COVID-19 health crisis. On top of all that, the $329 (£299, AU$499) Sense also doubles as a regular smartwatch and Lineup to track everything from stress to blood oxygen levels, temperature,Īnd even has an FDA-cleared electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).
