While Sense 2 come with a built-in Alexa voice assistant, it's lacking Google Assistant integration, unlike its predecessor.

The Galaxy Watch 5 has support for over 90 sports modes, which is more than double the 40 available on the Fitbit Sense.

In addition to these, the Sense 2 also features a sensor for all-day stress tracking, while the Galaxy Watch 5 comes with a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis sensor for measuring body composition. Samsung also sells a special Golf Edition of the Watch 5.īoth watches have sensors for heart rate tracking, blood oxygen level measurement, ECG measurement, and even have a skin temperature sensor.

Samsung's smartwatch also comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes and has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating as well as a 5 ATM water-resistance rating.

Among the Fitbit Sense 2's rivals is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, and both smartwatches will be fighting for a place on users' wrists.
