Fitbit Sense 2 review

Fitbit Sense 2 is the lowest cost way on this list to get an ECG app and wrist payments on either an iPhone or an Android phone. Google's store page says it works with most phones running Android 11.0 or iOS 16.4 or newer, which makes it the safest pick for a household with mixed phones or a buyer who might switch. Health tools include the ECG app for atrial fibrillation checks, a cEDA sensor that flags potential signs of stress with notifications, a skin temperature sensor and a nightly breakdown of light, deep and REM sleep. Built-in GPS records pace and distance without the phone, Google Wallet handles payments and Google Maps gives turn-by-turn directions. On-wrist Bluetooth calls let you answer from the watch. It trails the newer watches on display, apps and safety features, and Google's page gives no battery figure while noting that cEDA use may shorten it. It costs $249.95, and Google's store listed a $199.95 sale price in November 2026.
