The Fitbit Charge 5 features everything that most people look for in a fitness tracker. To begin with, it is not a smartwatch. That means it has a somewhat reduced profile on the wrist and can measure exercise and sleep for days on a single charge. It also boasts a full-color AMOLED display, which is a significant advance over the previous Charge 4’s smaller, grayscale screen. Charge 5 feels more luxurious than its predecessor because of the larger display and smaller design.
The Charge 5 has EDA sensors for measuring stress, and it will soon enable ECG readings and Daily Readiness Scores (the latter is for only Premium subscribers). These capabilities are in addition to those brought over from the Charge 4, most notably Fitbit Pay functionality and built-in GPS. The former allows you to pay for coffee or groceries with a sweep of your wrist, while the latter aids in the planning of outdoor runs, bike trips, and other activities. The built-in GPS remains the star of the show here – it’s speedy and precise, making the Charge 5 the best choice if you want a fitness-focused do-it-all wearable.
