GPS lock-on is quick and while we didn’t have access to a really built-up urban area we didn’t once lose signal on the 75k we clocked with the Sense. In terms of accuracy we found the readings to be 2-3 beats above a chest strap reading which is about standard. It took a while to settle down after the start of a run - maybe five minutes - and there was also a bit of a lag between a change of pace and the heart rate reading changing to keep up with that. The optical heart rate is similar what we’ve experienced on other devices, which is to say a very decent guide without being as reliable as a chest strap. For example, you can’t set up specific interval sessions with target reps or heart rate zones instead you’re limited to ‘move’, ‘rest’ and ‘repeat’ which is better than nothing but sub-optimal given the effort expended elsewhere on the device. If you want detailed training metrics this isn’t the device for you. The overall look and feel is substantially improved from the Ionic, which felt a little cheap. The graphics are very bold and colourful and drew comment from people who saw us using the watch. It’s both durable and sleek: the casing is graphite steel, the glass is Gorilla glass (extremely shatter-resistant) and the wristband made from silicone.

Instead of trying to take on the likes of Garmin, Polar and Coros with geekishly detailed training metrics, Fitbit has focused - we think sensibly - on more general wellbeing. This is the successor to the Fitbit Ionic, which launched in late 2017 and was due to be Fitbit’s competitor to the Apple Watch. 'Typically slick with appealing aesthetics, this is more of a wellbeing tracker with some fitness smarts thrown in.'
