The former is “coming soon,” so I wasn’t able to test it, but the latter is similar to the EDA tool on Fitbit’s smartwatch.
New (and old) featuresįitbit trickled down a few advanced features from its Sense smartwatch to the Charge 5, namely ECG measurements and EDA monitoring. While I didn’t have any problems using the touchscreen, it was a bit weird to not have a button to fall back on because I was used to the inductive side button on the Charge 4. You may think the shiny slivers on the long edges of the module are capacitive-touch buttons but they’re not - they’re actually the electrodermal activity (EDA) sensors that enable stress monitoring. This obviously affects battery life and Fitbit makes that clear.īut with the addition of a touchscreen, Fitbit took all physical buttons off of the Charge 5.
It will automatically turn off at night if you have sleep mode turned on, but otherwise, it keeps the clock and watch face on, if slightly dimmed, all day long. It also has a new always-on feature, which you can activate in the settings. It’s leaps and bounds better than the grayscale OLED screen on the Charge 4 and it puts the Charge 5 more in line with Fitbit’s smartwatches.
The display has been updated as well: it’s a 1.04-inch color AMOLED touchscreen that wakes up when you lift your wrist.
