While calendar updates from your phone can still technically make their way to your wrist – as the Charge 5 supports smartphone notifications – the loss of some fundamental experiences already established by the Charge line is odd but sadly While you’ll find familiar apps available on other current wearables from the company, icons take up the whole screen here with a series of five panels available when swiping left or right of the main watch face (settings can be found by swiping down, while fitness and wellbeing stats are located underneath your watch face, by swiping up).Ĭoming from a Charge 4, you might notice some odd omissions from the software on Fitbit’s latest tracker, though with the Agenda, Weather and Spotify apps of its predecessor seemingly unavailable to the Charge 5 (at launch, at least – Fitbit hasn’t stated whether the functionality will come later). Select Charge 4 apps absent on the Charge 5Ī new display means a new look and feel for the user experience running on the Charge 5. The inability to change watch faces on-wrist (having to do so from the app, instead) is frustrating too, particularly as the Charge 5 takes steps to be more like a smartwatch in other areas.
