The Charge 5 boasts an ambitious list of wellness specs. When I launched walking workouts from the tracker, GPS capture lagged slightly but never took more than a minute or two to catch up. It automatically captured several of my 30-minute to 1.5-hour treks and hikes without issue. The Charge 5 turned out to be a great motivator to schedule daily walks as my form of exercise while I’ve been sidelined from my near-daily running routine due to injury. Overall, the Charge 5 supports 20 exercise modes, seven of which feature GPS tracking.
The Charge 5 is a dedicated fitness tracker, so you’d expect to see support for some automatic workouts like running, walking, and cycling, which it does offer. I only experienced very minimal sluggishness with left-right swiping motions. It was easy to interact with and lacked major issues with responsiveness. Though the screen is small, with a 1.04-inch viewing area, it somehow feels spacious. I barely noticed I had the tracker on because it was so lightweight and fit so well.ĭespite the glare issue, the display is impressive. You’ll find a sturdier and better-looking tracker made of aluminum, glass, and resin with a silicone band - and an aluminum buckle in the sport band variation. The Charge 5 also ups the quality with more premium materials than the plastic resin and rubber of the prior model. These softer lines make the Charge 5 more current and desirable to wear day in and day out. In a departure from the boxy models before it, the Charge 5 takes a page from the rounded angles of the Fitbit Versa 3 or the Apple Watch Series 7. It’s fair to say the Charge 5 received a makeover. For loyal Fitbit fans or first-time fitness tracker users, the revamped Charge 5 has a lot to offer in a super-wearable and user-friendly format. Most notably, the Charge 5 is the very first Fitbit fitness tracker to work with the Fitbit ECG app, joining the ranks of the Fitbit Sense smartwatch. The new design makes this tracker more comfortable and appealing, but it also comes with a hefty feature list that matches the brand’s most decked-out smartwatches.
