Whether you're a fitness guru or are just starting to work on your fitness goals, the Charge 5 is the best you can find. It certainly was for us, being the absolute best fitness tracker we've ever tested for its comfortable feeling and vast health features that are easily accessible. Our testers specifically noted how easy it starts recording health activities, from step tracking to bike riding all easily readable on its tiny screen that has great brightness. Outdoor activists will appreciate the built-in GPS that connects to most smartphones with ease, while the more forgetful fitness gurus will be pleased to know that the Charge 5 recognizes sustained repetitive movement and monitors any moving activity even if the user forgets to start a session.

In terms of the health tracking features, our testers praised two specific elements: the heart rate alerts and sleep tracker. For the former, you can set the tracker to alert you when you enter a new heart rate zone while working out so you can see just how much you're pushing yourself. As for the latter, it can measure the time spent in your sleep phases (awake, light, deep and REM), your heart rate and estimated oxygen variation (which can be a sign of breathing disturbances while sleeping). It even has a "smart wake" alarm, which signals the Charge 5 to begin to vibrate half an hour before your alarm is set to go off to gently wake you up. Both features provide accurate readings in a quick fashion so you can stay up-to-date on your progress.
