The other important new visual feature of the Charge 5 is its excellent new color AMOLED display. It’s not blatantly technical like other trackers, and I felt like I could get away with wearing it on a fancy occasion with the right strap.Īppearance wise, I will say that I prefer the Luxe to the Charge 5, but the new Charge is still a significant improvement over the Charge 3/4. The Charge 5, on the other hand, offers a sleek and subtle aesthetic. When I tested the Charge 3 and 4, I felt like I had a nasty tech bundle strapped to my wrist. Rather than looking cool, the Charge 5 looks a lot more modern. It’s a welcome change, especially compared to the Charge 3 and 4, which kept the same design. The Charge 5 features a significantly improved look compared to previous charge trackers. Let’s start with the most notable change: the new design. However, if you don’t use the Charge 5 as an alarm clock (or if you don’t use the snooze function), you won’t find the problem. I’m a serial sleeper, but the Charge 5 has made an effort to break that habit by simply not stopping the alarm when I hit the snooze button.įitbit confirmed to me that the problem is a touch sensitivity bug and that the company is working to fix it. The worst bug I found was a problem with the alarm. I experienced a few issues with some of my review unit’s features, but nothing that I consider to be a deal breaker for most people. However, while the Charge 5 is good, it’s not perfect. While some of the “smarter” features of the smartwatch were missing, the Charge 5 achieved parity on most of the tracking features of the smartwatch. In fact, as an intermittent Fitbit Sense user, I felt right at home with the Charge 5. “… I will say that I prefer the Luxe to the Charge 5, but the new Charge is still a significant improvement over the Charge 3/4.” Inside, the Charge 5 now offers electrodermal activity (EDA) and electrocardiogram (ECG) apps, just like the Fitbit Sense smartwatch. On the surface is a whole new design that borrows a lot from Fitbit’s recently launched Luxe tracker. The Charge 5 has several significant changes both external and internal. Since then, I’ve had the chance to test the redesigned tracker for a couple of weeks, and so far it’s one of my favorites the company has released. At the end of August, Fitbit unveiled its revamped Charge 5 fitness tracker.
