Do what’s best for your body with an ECG app for your heart & an EDA sensor for your stress on our most advanced fitness & health tracker.
Once reserved for athletes and researchers, wearable devices have become a staple among consumers interested in learning more about their activity patterns, workouts, sleep habits, and more.
While numerous brands offer smartwatches and fitness trackers, Fitbit is one of the most popular and well known.
Since releasing its first fitness tracker in 2009, Fitbit has expanded its product line to include trackers and smartwatches that are more high tech and stylish than ever before.
Among these new offerings is the Fitbit Charge 5, the company’s most advanced fitness and health tracker to date.
We tried the Fitbit Charge 5 for more than 2 months to see if it’s worth the investment.
What is the Fitbit Charge 5?
Worn around your wrist, the Fitbit Charge 5 is a fitness tracker that monitors more than just your steps.
Equipped with GPS, skin temperature tracking, and a heart rate monitor, it provides key insights into your health and activity, including your exercise performance, sleep habits, and changes in heart rate.
It also offers electrical sensors that are compatible with Fitbit’s Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electrodermal Activity (EDA) Scan apps, the latter of which helps monitor your stress level at various times throughout the day.
What’s more, when used with a Fitbit Premium account, the Fitbit Charge 5 offers detailed sleep, stress, and readiness scores to help you make more informed decisions on your health.
