Fitbit Charge 5 leaked
The Fitbit Charge 4, which is the latest tracker of the brand was only released in April 2020. The tracker tracks activity, calories burned, distance, heart rate, sleep, steps, and time. It came in blue, grey, and black.
One of the coolest features includes water resistance. This means that it can track you even while you swimming.
The upcoming Fitbit smartwatch promises new features and specs. However, it seems like the colours haven’t changed and there is no addition either according to the following video:

The Google acquisition recently announced new design collaborations and creative accessory collections that will soon grace the smartwatch Fitbit Sense and Versa 3. Although the merger is trying as much as it can to make improvements to the brand, it seems like the addition of some features might be tempering with others.
When the news about the rumoured Fitbit Charge 5, the main concern from many people is if the addition of features like sensors won’t mess with the heartbeat monitor. With the Fitbit Sense and Versa 3, people are complaining about an inaccurate heartbeat monitor.
