If the Christmas parties have turned your mind to thinking about budging the bulge, then Fitbit could have the fitness watch for you in the Fitbit Sense 2.
This GPS watch offers a full range of sports and activity tracking, as well as giving you access to lifestyle data like your daily steps, sleep, stress and a whole lot more. With over 30% off in pre-Christmas sales, it’s a great option for gifting or to hit your own fitness goals.
Fitbit has always been about usability, offering one of the best ways to browse your fitness data in the app. The Fitbit Sense 2 works seamlessly with iPhone or Android devices, meaning you’ll always be able to check the stats for your latest workout, or sync those to other fitness services.
The Fitbit Sense 2 itself has a vibrant OLED display, offers water resistance to 50m and over 6 days of battery life. Motion is captured as your wear the watch, so you can get a really accurate picture of your activity across the day and night – not just from your exercise regime.
There’s built-in GPS, a heart rate sensor as well as oxygen saturation monitoring, an altimeter for height change measurement. Combined, these sensors will give you all the data across your day and motivate you to be more active.
One of the best features about Fitbit is the sleep tracking. This gives you a score for your sleep and a breakdown of your sleep stages through the night. You’ll get your heart rate through the night, as well as heart rate variability which can be a useful measure to see how well rested you are.
All of the sleep and recovery monitoring is great to help you focus on your fitness, with a daily readiness score telling you whether it’s a good day for strenuous exercise, or if you’d be better to take it easy.
This isn’t the cheapest that the Fitbit Sense 2 has been, but it’s pretty close. If you missed the Black Friday sales, there’s still the opportunity to buy this watch at a discount and get your fitness back on track.
If you don’t like the sound of Fitbit, the Garmin is a great alternative, with some great deals on Garmin devices, with £20 off the Garmin Forerunner 55 at Argos, or £60 off the Garmin Vivoactive 5 at Currys.
