In the past, Fitbit’s Charge devices have been released on a bi-annual basis, starting in 2014 with the original.

Release date – when will the Fitbit Charge 5 launch? Read on to discover everything there is to know so far about the Fitbit Charge 5, including when we might see it, what it could look like, and what specs we expect it to pack.

However, July and August 2021 have brought along our first glimpses at the rumoured device, suggesting the Charge 5 could come along sooner than expected. Usually, we only see a new Charge launch every two years, which might explain why leaks and speculation about the Charge 5 had been a little light on the ground. One thing the Charge 4 did lack was local music playback, so we’d love to see this feature available on the Charge 5 so runners can head out the door without having to take their smartphones with them. The fitness tracker earned four and a half stars in our review and sits proudly on our list of the best fitness trackers, meaning Fitbit will have a lot to live up to with the Charge 5. The Charge 4 was a great all-round entry level fitness tracker, offering a long battery life, an SpO2 sensor and built-in GPS tracking. Now, we’re seeing early signs of what Fitbit might have in store for the Fitbit Charge 5.

Last year, Fitbit released the Charge 4, a fitness tracker that proved itself a great option for casual joggers and gym-goers alike.
