Fitbit has unveiled the Fitbit Charge 5 in the UAE. Fitbit Charge 5 is the company’s most advanced health and fitness tracker, which is designed to help you keep track of your fitness, stress, heart health, sleep, and general wellbeing in a slimmer, sleeker form factor. Charge 5 provides the convenience features you need to focus on what’s most important, with a brighter, colour touchscreen and up to seven days of battery life (varies with use).
Charge 5 users also get six months of Fitbit Premium, which includes deeper insights, actionable recommendations, and over 500 exercises, as well as mindfulness and nutritional content, to enable you to do what’s best for your body every day.
Fitbit Premium’s new Daily Readiness experience, which will be available soon on Charge 5, Sense, Versa 3, Versa 2, Luxe, and Inspire 2 devices, will help you determine if your body is ready for a workout or whether you should focus on recuperation instead. Your fitness weariness (activity), heart rate variability (HRV), and recent sleep will all be factored into your score each morning. You’ll also get a breakdown of what factors influenced your score, as well as recommendations like a suggested Active Zone Minutes goal and Premium material to help you make the best decisions for your body. Built-in GPS, 20 exercise modes, automated exercise identification, and an estimation of your V02 max are all included in the Charge 5. Plus, with Premium, you’ll get access to over 200 programmes from professional trainers and well-known brands like Daily Burn, barre3, obé, and LES MILLS’ new high-intensity routines.
In 2020, a record-breaking 40% of adults reported they were under a lot of stress. Charge 5 is Fitbit’s first tracker to integrate an EDA sensor, which assesses your body’s response to stress by measuring microscopic changes in the sweat glands on your fingertips. Fitbit originally introduced EDA with Fitbit Sense last fall, and researchers discovered that 70% of users decreased their heart rate after a two-minute EDA Scan session, indicating that these tools can aid with stress reduction.
You’ll also get a Stress Management Score in the Fitbit app with Charge 5, so you can see whether you’re mentally ready to take on new tasks or whether you need to recharge each morning. To help you manage your stress, Premium gives you access to over 300 meditation and mindfulness sessions from businesses and experts, including Ten Percent Happier and Deepak Chopra’s Mindful Method. Fitbit also announced a collaboration with Calm, the #1 App for Sleep, Meditation, and Relaxation, in which Premium members will soon have access to Calm content.
While many variables can affect your heart rate, a high or low heart rate may be a symptom of a heart issue that requires medical treatment. Charge 5 tracks your heart rate 24/7 and sends you notifications when you are above or below your personal settings. Charge 5 delivers a holistic view of other essential wellness measures, such as breathing rate, skin temperature change, and SpO2, via the Health Metrics dashboard in the Fitbit app, in addition to controlling your heart health. You may also track long-term trends and personal ranges with Premium. Because sleep is so important to your health, you’ll continue to get industry-leading sleep resources like daily reminders like
Sleep Score, Sleep Stages and SmartWake alarms. Premium members also receive a deeper analysis and guidance to improve sleep quality.
Charge 5 provides the convenience features you require in addition to health and wellness support. View your stats, make contactless purchases, receive/send notifications from/to your smartphone (fast answers with Android only), and adjust what information you want to see the most with a swipe of your finger.
Charge 5 boasts an aerodynamic design that is tuned for performance and engineered for a seamless fit, making it 10% thinner than its predecessor. Charge 5 is our first tracker with an always-on display option to monitor your data or while training, thanks to a new AMOLED colour display. On sunny days, the display is two times brighter than its predecessor, making it easy to see your numbers. You may change up your style at any time by switching between lightweight silicone infinity bands, breathable athletic bands, plush nylon hook and loop bands, and handcrafted quality Horween leather bands.
Fitbit also announced a partnership with Will Smith to become Fitbit’s newest ambassador while curating additional innovative tools and features in Fitbit Premium for its customers. Fitbit and Will have collaborated to create exclusive content for Fitbit Premium, which will include a variety of health and wellness programmes that focus on both the physical and mental components of strength that characterise greater health today. Premium members may join along on this trip through workouts, mindfulness sessions, and more with everything from HIIT and strength training to yoga and meditation, thanks to video sessions featuring Will and his training team. The first session, which will begin on September 27, is aimed to help you start your day off right with an inspiring and approachable workout with Will and his coaches. This content will not only provide you with a glimpse into Will’s adventure, but it will also fit into your everyday routine — anytime and everywhere. The programme will grow in the coming months, adding to the over 500 workouts and mindfulness sessions already available to Premium
