The Fitbit Charge 5 is a really comprehensive fitness tracker, and perhaps the best “true” fitness tracker we’ved tried so far. It pulls together the best features of Fitbit's current lineup in one neat device. You get on-board GPS for tracking runs without a watch, an EDA (electrodermal activity) sensor for measuring stress responses, contactless payments, sleep tracking, excellent heart rate monitoring, and sleep monitoring. And it’s all presented in a neat interface that's intuitive and simple to use, even if you've never owned a Fitbit device before.
With the Charge 5, Fitbit has dropped the Spotify support that allowed you to control playlists through the Charge 4. The lack of music is a shame since the Charge 5 is designed with workouts in mind, but if that's not a dealbreaker then it could be an ideal gym buddy.

The Fitbit Charge 5 makes an important upgrade by adding a colour screen – something Fitbit should have brought to the Charge a long time ago. With an ECG sensor and more stress insights available, too, the Charge 5 is a much better mix of fitness and health tracker. While it’s lacking in some areas, notably when it comes to tracking exercise, it’s a solid wearable.
