It also connects to the Fitbit app as well which offers some useful social features. It’s water-resistant and can receive notifications from your smartphone. You can expect the Charge 5 to track your steps, activities, calories burned, and sleep.

It should go without saying but it also does the basics very well. Inside the box, you’ll find a small and a large band which is especially useful if you’re not sure which size is likely to fit your wrist best. The Charge 5 is 10% thinner than its predecessor, which helps to ensure a comfortable fit for most wrists. This screen is easy to read even in direct sunlight, and Fitbit has even made the AMOLED display a touchscreen. In our Fitbit Charge 5 review, we labeled the device “a brilliant tracker for most users” and found the addition of a color OLED screen, which is two times brighter than the display on the Fitbit Charge 4 one of the most significant additions.

It’s got built-in GPS, a bright always-on color touch display, an electrodermal activity sensor (EDA), an electrocardiogram sensor (ECG) and it tracks a new metric called “Daily Readiness Score.” As noted, it currently ranks as our favorite Fitbit fitness tracker, and it earns that accolade for a variety of reasons. We’re huge fans of the Fitbit Charge 5 here at Tom’s Guide.
