That’ll come down the road once the unit nears shipping (timelines in the next section). While I’ll dive into this in more detail down below, this seems fairly targeted at a more consumer-friendly version of what Whoop is attempting to do with their Recovery Score (or Garmin via FirstBeat, with Body Battery).įinally, note that this is *NOT* a review. This score is a combination of three components, including your daily activity level, accumulated sleep, and heart rate variability data. However, perhaps the most interesting feature is Fitbit’s new Daily Readiness Score. Essentially we’re seeing the Fitbit Sense from a year ago, squished into the body of a wearable band. Alongside that new screen is ECG functionality as well as stress detection. But this time around Fitbit says your Charge 5 will continue to get the roughly 7 days of battery life that the Charge 4 gets. However, most companies have sacrificed battery life for brilliance. Of course, AMOLED or similar screens on wearable bands and activity trackers is hardly new. Gone is the monochrome display, in is a brilliant AMOLED screen instead. And the new Charge 5 is very clearly the most graphically advanced unit to date. The company says that the Charge devices make up 1 in 3 Fitbit users today, some 40 million Charge devices in total. Though, they did (re)-commit to building one sometime in the future. At Fitbit’s annual end of summer announcement event, the company did not announce a Wear OS device (of any type).
