In addition to these new sensors, the Charge 5 continues to distinguish itself from Fitbit's other trackers by offering on-device GPS and NFS for contactless payments. You get a ton of smartwatch features with this advanced tracker. Over time, this information can help provide you with guidance and advice on your training and recovery. Once you open the EDA app and press the start button, you simply grip the thumb and finger of your opposite hand on the sides of the watch (there are obvious panels to guide you) for three minutes, and then you get the opportunity to add how calm you felt during the process. Both are accessed through "apps" on the Charge 5, and both work the same way as they do on the Sense smartwatch. I was able to get just over six days out of a single charge, and this included using GPS mode for four separate workouts (over three hours in total) and with max brightness and continuous heart rate monitoring turned on.Įven though it is an option, I did not enable the always-on display because that has a considerable impact on the battery life (brings it down to two days maximum), and it's never been an essential feature to me.įitbit brought some of its most advanced health features and sensors from its premium smartwatch to this premium tracker, including the ability to take EDA and ECG scans to measure your electrodermal activity and heart rhythm.
In my testing, I found this estimate to be on target. While we always want more from our device's batteries, it is good to see that Fitbit was able to maintain the same capacity, even as it added sensors, features, and new screen technology. On paper, the Charge 5 promises up to seven days of battery life, same as the Charge 3 and 4. Steel Blue/Platinum, Black/Graphite, Lunar White/Gold Additionally, Fitbit offers a wide variety of great first-party straps, including the colors mentioned above in the Infinity configuration (where the strap loops back under the clasp), Horween leather bands, hook and loop bands (fabric with velcro attachment), and the perforated sport bands.ġ.45 x 0.90 x 0.44 inches (36.78 x 22.79 x11.20 mm)ģ-axis accelerometer, optical heart rate sensor, SpO2, ECG, EDA, ambient light sensor The Charge 5 is available in three color options: a platinum case with a Steel Blue band, a Graphite case with a Black band, and a Gold case with a Lunar White band. The new casing is also more comfortable to wear, better conforming to the contours of my wrist than previous Charge devices. At 450 nits, it's even two times brighter than the Charge 4, and it makes a huge difference. It also sports a larger, brighter version of the Luxe's AMOLED screen, making it easy to read indoors or out. As a result, it now clearly fits in with the design aesthetic of the Versa 3, Sense, and new Luxe devices. The Charge 5 looks just as nice as the new Luxe but is a much more capable device.įor starters, the design is rounded, organic, and overall more refined than the blockier look of the Charge 2, 3, and 4, and it comes in 10% thinner than previous versions. This is in part because Fitbit went beyond its more recent incremental updates and made some significant improvements to its best band.
