Once again a smartwatch comes into my hands Fitbit, which increasingly improves its performance in sports and health. The main purpose of Fitbit is to have a smartwatch that works for you at all times.
The new Fitbit Senseit is the most powerful watch that the brand has launched to date, highlighting the innumerable medical options to measure in our body, ranging from knowing the heart rate, to more complex issues such as the level of oxygen saturation and the quality of sleep .
The design is quite sober and elegant, with availability in two colors: ivory white and carbon black, both made in stainless steel bodies and with adjustable straps. The screen is a panel AMOLED 1.58 inches, with a resolution of 336 x 336 pixels. It is an improved screen compared to the previous ones, highlighting its incredible visibility in broad daylight. And note that in addition, in this version, we no longer have a square screen, but rounded corners, revealing a more premium and stylish product.
The watch comes with a new sensor called EDA, which helps measure the stress in our body. In addition, it measures the skin electrodermal activity. To activate it, you must put the palm of your hand on the screen for at least 2 minutes, and Fitbit then looks for changes in the levels of sweating on the skin, to help us understand our body’s response to stressful situations.
And note that about stress, the Fitbit app in Fitbit Premium It has mindfulness sessions to help improve your stress score, where you can calm these sensations on a daily basis. In my case it worked well for me, considering that my stress levels were quite high.
The smartwatch has the option of performing electrocardiograms that are intended to be informative, because the brand wants you to use it as a self-care issue and not as a decisive medical instrument. The idea is that if you have changes in the parameters, the watch will notify you so that you can see a doctor as soon as possible.
With this new optical heart rate sensor, you can measure heart rate variabilityeven inform you if you have tachycardia.
An interesting point is the measurement of the SpO2 sensor, which monitors the oxygen level in the blood, managing to see an average of the nocturnal oxygen saturation of the last week. This point is important because Covid19where if it varies a lot, the system will notify you.
Another piece of information that can be measured is your skin temperature, but beware that it is different from your general temperature, because for that you use a thermometer. This function measures variations in your body temperature while you sleep, which can give possible signs of illness. Ultimately, with this feature at your fingertips, you can be much better informed about your health and wellness.
As for training, it maintains the functions of previous models and allows us to monitor up to 19 types of sports. Perfect for the fitness world.
In conclusion, it seems to me that Fitbit Sense It is a very advanced smartwatch, standing out for including multiple medical sensors that will help us anticipate diseases or problems in general with our health. I also highlight the skin temperature sensors, blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. Highly recommended!
