The Fitbit Charge 5 is admittedly the best fitness tracker from Fitbit. When I reviewed it a month ago, my biggest issues were A) not all features were available from the start (they are now) and B) it was too expensive for what it has to offer. But thanks to these awesome Black Friday deals, I can finally wholeheartedly recommend the Charge 5! Hallelujah!

At this price point, the Charge 5 truly is one of the best Fitbits. Said discounted price not only includes a decent fitness tracker with an AMOLED screen and 7-day battery life but also a 6-month trial subscription to Fitbit Premium for free. Well, you're paying for the fitness band but the membership cost is included. You catch my drift.

Why should you buy the Fitbit Charge 5 this Black Friday
The Fitbit Charge 5 is a capable fitness tracker. It has a built-in GPS, optical heart rate sensor, an AMOLED touchscreen and a comfortable band that doesn't make you all itchy after an hour or so.
As well as tracking heart rate 24/7, the Charge 5 can monitor sleep, blood oxygen levels (SpO2), skin temperature, breathing rate and Active Zone Minutes. It can also score your body's ability to recover/train through its Daily Readiness Score. This feature is similar to the Strain Score in the Whoop 4.0 and is based on heart rate variability.
The Charge 5 is swim-proof although don't expect it to measure anything accurately when you're underwater. At least you don't have to be afraid to wear it when you're doing the washing up.
The now discounted price includes six months of Fitbit Premium subscription, which is excellent because the Daily Readiness Score and advanced sleep metrics are only available to Premium users. You can find a ton of workouts and mindfulness exercises in Premium from Deepak Chopra and Will Smith too.
Battery life up to seven days!
