Fitbit launches new Sense smartwatch to help track and reduce your endless stress

Fitbit , which is in the midst of being acquired by Google , announced three new wearables on Tuesday, including its most advanced smartwatch yet.

“And it’s really the culmination of a lot of the new sensors that we’re bringing into the fall products, and then also the software experiences on top. So we’re obviously really excited about our EDA sensor. It’s the first in its class; it took a lot of R&D to get to this point,” he added. The Sense’s stainless steel frame features two electrodes that you cover with your hand when you want to use the EDA sensor to begin measuring your stress level. According to Park, the EDA sensor sends a microcurrent through your skin to measure the change in electrical resistance as your palm sweats. The more you sweat, the more stress you’re likely under.

The company says its Fitbit Premium members will also get detailed breakdowns of their scores based on things like heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, impact of physical activity, and sleep patterns. In addition to the EDA sensor, the Sense, and Fitbit’s new Versa 3, get the company’s improved heart sensor and heart rate algorithm, which the firm says is its most accurate for running yet. The Sense also uses the two electrodes on its top and a secondary electrode on its bottom to look at your heart rhythm to determine if you may have atrial fibrillation, or an irregular heartbeat, via the ECG app.
