SMART WATCHES ARE DESIGNED TO BE YOUR DAILY HEALTH COMPANION AND THE FITBIT SENSE IS NO EXCEPTION. The watch is used to record exercise, track health data, show you the date and weather, and help you keep track of the time. Working in the background of your everyday life, it continually updates your personal data, recording your breathing, skin temperature, blood oxygen level, and heart rate. The Fitbit Sense can be treated like an extension of your smartphone, with multiple apps available to install. These include Spotify so you can quickly and easily control music without reaching for your phone; GPS applications to guide you on a journey, which allows you to keep your hands free; and Alexa to control connected appliances simply by speaking into your wrist.
