The 3 Best Fitness Trackers (That Aren’t Smartwatches) For 2023 – SlashGear

The Fitbit Charge 5 is the top-line fitness tracker Fitbit offers, featuring a wide range of advanced tracking features and sensors. Unlike other cheaper trackers, the Fitbit Charge 5 includes its own GPS sensor, and it doesn’t rely on your phone’s sensors, unlike some lower-cost fitness trackers. It also includes NFC connectivity, which allows you to use Fitbit Pay, unlike the Luxe and Inspire 3.

With its more comprehensive tracking capabilities and inclusion of features such as screening for atrial fibrillation, the Fitbit Charge 5 is geared towards users who are both familiar with fitness trackers and looking to track and optimize their health. Aside from these extra features, the Charge 5 also includes the usual fitness tracking capabilities, such as accurate step counts, heart rate, blood oxygenation, and menstrual cycle tracking.

Where the Fitbit Charge 5 really shines is the quality of the device itself. Compared to the plastic many other fitness trackers use, its case is made of aluminum and comes standard with a peg-and-loop fastener instead of a standard buckle. If you prefer the look and feel of a different strap, plenty of options are available from both Fitbit and 3rd party manufacturers. The display is also high-quality, with clear graphics and enough brightness to be clear even in bright sunlight. Fitbit claims the battery will last seven days, though you should probably expect a little less.
