We'll update this story in the future with more details on stress tracking, general health and activity monitoring and more after we've had more time with the Fitbit Sense 2. But just as it took the industry years to push beyond basic step tracking and provide deeper insights tied to activity and exercise, I imagine the version of stress tracking we're seeing today is far from Fitbit's overall vision. It'll take some time to see how helpful the Fitbit Sense 2 stress tracking truly is. However, I didn't feel very stressed at that particular moment. Whether you want to start your favorite music station or see your latest cycling route, you can make your watch experience more personal by downloading popular apps from the Fitbit App Gallery right to your watch. But one EDA Scan that I took during the work day said I had 12 responses, which should mean that my body was likely showing signs of stress. I haven't had enough time to decisively say whether that holds true for the Sense 2. When Scott and Lexy reviewed the previous Sense, they said their EDA Scan results didn't always correlate with how they felt. I also wonder whether receiving yet another notification during a potentially tense moment would make people who are prone to stress even more overwhelmed. But it seems easy to dismiss a notification in the moment, especially if you're already in a busy situation.

The addition of continuous tracking certainly seems more useful than going out of your way to take a scan when you're feeling stressed. Like any of the many data points our fitness trackers gather, this type of information is only helpful if the user knows what to do with it and is willing to make an effort. Lisa Eadicicco/CNETīut since I haven't been using the Sense 2 for very long, it's difficult to know how useful these metrics are. Fitbit's stress management score is based on your activity, sleep and other factors.
