ECG won’t be available at launch, but when it is, there won’t be much separating the Charge 5 from Fitbit’s most feature-rich device, the Sense smartwatch. Within the Charge 5’s stainless steel frame are new sensors for EDM stress tracking and ECG monitoring. While the new design appears to have made it a more substantial device than its predecessor, Fitbit says it’s actually 10 percent thinner than the Charge 4. Sleek new stainless steel body, AMOLED display, more sensors, and-how is this not a smartwatch?Ī punchy new AMOLED display also helps it achieve a more upscale look, as far as wearables go. Perhaps this will be the primary distinction between the company’s increasingly capable Charge series and its smartwatch line going forward. In a closed briefing, Fitbit also disclosed its intention to make smartwatches with Google’s Wear OS built-in.
Inching ever closer to smartwatch territory, the new Charge will have most of the capabilities found on Fitbit’s current Versa and Sense smartwatches. Up for preorder now, the Charge 5 adds ECG (electrocardiogram), EDA (electrodermal activity) stress sensors, an AMOLED display, and a stainless steel facelift for $50 more than its predecessor, the Charge 4.įitbit says it will continue to sell the $130 Charge 4 until the end of the year, which positions it between the $100 Fitbit Inspire 2 and the new $180 Fitbit Charge 5. The Fitbit Charge fitness tracker is the company’s best-selling product line, and the latest model, the Charge 5, was just announced.
