The Daily Readiness Score on the Fitbit Charge 5 advises whether the user should focus on rest or workout each day.
Fitbit Charge 5 is a new fitness tracker with a more streamlined appearance and brighter display than its predecessor. The Fitbit Charge 5 is 10% slimmer than the Fitbit Charge 4, but it still has a battery life of up to 7 days, according to Fitbit. The fitness band has a new health measure called the Daily Readiness Score, which evaluates your workout “readiness” and recommends what you should do on any given day based on your heart rate, sleep, and activity. Depending on the score, it may recommend mild yoga, high-intensity workouts, or even relaxation. The Fitbit Charge 5 also has an ECG app on the wrist and an EDA sensor for detecting stress levels.

Specifications and features of the Fitbit Charge 5
The Fitbit Charge 5 comes with a silicone band and is made of a combination of aluminum, glass, and resin.

A 1.04-inch color AMOLED touchscreen display with 450 nits of peak brightness, and Always-On mode, and no buttons are included with the wearable. Fitbit claims that the Charge 5 is 10% slimmer than the Charge 4 and has a 2x brighter display.
The fitness tracker comes with 20 different watch faces, GPS + GLONASS, a SpO2 sensor, a skin temperature sensor, an optical heart rate monitor, and NFC. The Fitbit Charge 5 is swim-proof, with a 50-meter water resistance rating. It works with both Apple and Android devices running iOS 12.2 or higher, as well as Android 8.0 or higher. Fitbit claims that the Charge 5’s battery can last up to 7 days and that charging takes roughly two hours.
The Fitbit Charge 5 can receive email and call notifications and includes rapid replies (only for Android), a Do Not Disturb option, a Smart Wake alarm that goes off 30 minutes before its scheduled time during your best period of sleep, and Fitbit Pay contactless payments (in select markets).

The Fitbit Charge 5 includes a Daily Readiness Score, which is only available to Fitbit Premium members.

The score is calculated based on activity level, sleep quality over the previous three days, and heart rate variability. 20 goal-setting workout modes, real-time activity zone minutes tracking, automatic exercise identification, and sleep monitoring are among the other health features of the new Fitbit tracker. The Daily Readiness Score function will be accessible via an update to the Charge 5, as well as the Sense, Versa 3, Versa 2, Luxe, and Inspire 2 devices, according to Fitbit.

AFTER EACH EVALUATION, the ECG software will generate a PDF report that users can share with their doctors to check for atrial fibrillation. In addition, when the heart rate is over or below the recommended range, Charge 5 will provide on-wrist notifications. Breathing rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, menstrual cycle, and blood oxygen saturation are all included (SpO2).
