Charge 5 is not like its predecessors. It has rounded edges combined with soft corners. The straps feel less aggressive and smoother than previous versions.
However, the most noticeable change is the full-color screen. Earlier models came with a monochrome display. Unfortunately, the leak doesn't shed any light on the tracker's hardware. However, this assumes that the device will have multiple sensors.
What else do we know?
It will have GPS and the company's own EDA to measure stress. For those who don't know, the EKG sensor monitors heart rhythm and notifies users if there is an arrhythmia problem.
Additionally, you can purchase a premium subscription to receive personalized exercise recommendations. You'll also be notified when it's time to rest and recover with sleep tracking and guided meditation.
The Fitbit Charge 5 will retail for $179 in the US and will hit store shelves on October 23. In addition, the fitness tracker will come with an SpO2 sensor that monitors the oxygen content of the blood.
