I'm not a huge fan of bulky smartwatches, trying to triage notifications on my wrist, etc. Not to mention recharging them daily. But I'm much more open to simple band 'trackers', here with a small colour display but designed to report to the companion app on your smartphone. The Charge 5 is new and with more health and fitness features than ever. See below for the full feature set. It should work with any iOS or Android smartphone. 

For quick reference, here's the bullet/spec list of features:

HEALTH:

• Fitbit ECG (Electrocardiogram) App 
• EDA (Electrodermal Activity) Scan App 
• Stress Management Score 
• Reflections 
• Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) Monitoring 
• Heart Rate Variability 
• Breathing Rate 
• Skin Temperature Tracking 
• Sleep Score & Sleep Stages 
• Menstrual Cycle Tracking 
• Health & Wellness Reminders 
• Activate optional personalised reminders for beneficial tasks that can be tough to remember, like staying hydrated, sticking to a sleep schedule, finding time to exercise and more.

FITNESS:

• Daily Readiness Score 
• Active Zone Minutes 
• 24/7 Heart Rate Tracking with PurePulse 
• Built-In GPS 
• SmartTrack® 
• Workout Intensity Map 
• 20 Exercise Modes 
• Cardio Fitness Level 
• Water-resistant 

SMART

• Notifications 
• Google Fast Pair 
• Sleep Mode 
• Smart Wake 
• Do Not Disturb Mode 
• Up to 7-Day Battery Life

Although there's loads here for fitness freaks, it's the general health (EDA, SpO2, ECG) functions that will be of huge interest to many. It's an all-in-one companion gadget that keeps you healthy and encourages you to get healthier, etc.

As ever, there's a promo video:

Good stuff, it's £170 on Fitbit's site. Which sounds excellent value and I'll try to get this in for review.
