Many devices pass through the hands of the experts at ComputerHoy.com every year, including dozens of smart watches of all kinds, also smartbands, and not all of them get as high a grade in our tests as the Fitbit Charge 5.
This smart bracelet is undoubtedly at the level of even the best smart watches, and it is that although it looks like a bracelet, it is not without some characteristics that go beyond what is usual in this sector, especially the NFC for mobile payments and electrocardiogramssomething only within the reach of some watches that do ECG, usually much more expensive than the Charge 5.
The good news is that it is not only very complete, but it is also now cheaper than ever before. Amazon has lowered it to 115 euros from the 179 euros it cost at launch, a substantial discount.
Fitbit Charge 5
Charge 5 is the new Fitbit activity bracelet that takes a step forward, getting closer to the advanced functions of the brand’s smartwatches with integrated GPS and new management algorithms…
In its analysis there are many things that we liked, starting with the two characteristics mentioned, but also with the precision of all its sensors when it comes to measuring sports activities, steps, heart rate or sleep quality.
Although it is something that practically all smartbands already do, not all of them do it the same way or as reliably. In this case, the experience and solidity of a brand like Fitbit, which focuses all its smart devices above all on measuring health parameters, helps a lot.
It has GPS, and that is important when measuring activities such as running or cycling, which it also automatically detects. You don’t have to tell it that you’ve started running, it can detect the start of training automatically.
