What changes would you make to this product? For a more detailed breakdown of the date, you have to refer to the Fitbit app, where you can find your average heart rate, zone minutes, energy burned and the “impact” it has on your day. When it comes to tracking your actual workouts both watches are equal, you have the option to switch between heart rate, calories burned, heart rate zone (cardio or fat burn), time, and distance/steps depending on your workout. Personally, I was never able to connect my Charge 4 to the music app so it’s not a great loss, but for those who prefer running, the loss of quick access could be a negative. There are plenty of features that have been kept from in the Charge 5 upgrade, however, Fitbit has dropped the option to connect your watch to the Spotify app to control music. The EDA scan detects electrodermal activity – tiny changes in your skin's sweat level which may indicate your body's response to stress. The ECG app is to keep track of your heart health that assesses your heart for atrial fibrillation - a heart rhythm irregularity – and you can share the results with your doctor. The magnet charger clips into place pretty quickly and there’s no need to fiddle or come back and realise your watch wasn’t charging.Ī great addition for those who want to keep track of their personal health, are the electrical sensors on the side of the watch for the ECG (Electrocardiogram) and EDA (Electrodermal Activity) Scan function. I found with a lot of use, the clamp became stiff and the pins didn’t fit in as easily. The charging plug also gets an upgrade from the clamp style on the Charge 4 to a magnetic clip. The Charge 4 has a traditional watch buckle that isn’t awful but compared to the Charge 5, the leftover strap can sometimes come loose and catch on your clothes or weights. The updated design of the silicone strap, as well as a softer material, includes a clever “infinity” closure which is a hole for your strap to be tucked into after you’ve adjusted the size to fit, making it super sleek and snug against your wrist. Waterproof: Both up to 50m depth How did this product make your life easier?
