Read our full Fitbit Charge 5 review and you can read our interview with Fitbit co-founder Eric Friedman here. The Fitbit Charge 5 also won the title of the best fitness tracker in our Tom's Guide Fitness award Best fitness tracker for those on a budget s, as it looks cool enough on the wrist that you don’t mind wearing it all day long, and has a bunch of brilliant tracking capabilities.

Also, if you're using a Fitbit Charge 3 or older, the upgrade is worth it for the color screen alone. If you want to save money, the Fitbit Charge 4 was the best fitness tracker before the Charge 5 was released, and is likely to be on sale. If you're looking for a tracker that looks beautiful against your wrist, is easy to read in the bright sunlight and has some impressive features for the price tag, this is a good buy. The Fitbit Charge 5 also has Fitbit's 'Daily Readiness Score' feature, which gives you an idea of how ready you are for a big workout, based on three different metrics - fitness fatigue (activity), heart rate variability (HRV), and recent sleep.

During testing, we found that the bright, always-on color touch screen is a massive improvement to that of the Fitbit Charge 4 - it is easy to read in bright sunlight and is great to use during a HIIT workout or on a hike, although we found the lack of physical buttons made it a little fiddly to navigate around when running. The Fitbit Charge 5 is Fitbit's latest tracker and it has a number of exciting features usually reserved for more expensive devices, such as an ECG heart rate monitor.
