Fitbit Charge 5, analysis and opinion

Posted by Ahsan on November 13th, 2021

It has been more than a year since Google took control of Fitbit, so Fitbit has been developed entirely under this influence. Still, Fitbit maintains its independence with a bracelet true to its DNA.

Fitbit Charge 5 arrives with a redesigned chassis to accommodate the new features and a color OLED screen. It also adds new algorithms to the management of your workouts to determine the appropriate rest times.

However, with a launch price of 179 euros, part of a starting price of 30 euros above that of its predecessor. Do the new features justify this price increase? We analyze the Fitbit Charge 5 and give you our opinion.

Compact, lightweight, and with a color OLED screen

One of the main novelties of the renewed Charge 5 is its change in design, which gives it a more compact and elegant appearance with the incorporation of some details on the sides, but above all, conditioned by the arrival of the new OLED screen to color.

The Charge 5 has a smoother and more rounded appearance at its edges and that has a direct impact on its ergonomics, which has been considerably improved by adapting much better to the wrist.
