Fitbit is planning to launch a brand new smart bracelet. And what a surprise: the Fitbit Charge 5 ! The announcement hasn't been officially made yet. However, we already know a lot thanks to the famous blogger Evan Blass, who posted renders on his Twitter account!
What will the future Fitbit Charge 5 look like?
The first important point to highlight is the Fitbit Charge 5's screen. Referring to the photos published by Evan Blass, we can see that the fitness tracker's screen will now be in color. Yes, it will no longer be limited to black and white like previous models.
Like a regular fitness tracker, the Fitbit Charge 5 displays the time and date on its screen. It also shows the wearer's heart rate, a common feature among smart bracelets. Another element on the Fitbit Charge 5's display resembles a gauge. Currently, we have no information about this element, but it could represent the number of steps taken in a day.
Thanks to leaks, we now all know that the bracelet will be offered in three different colors. One model will be black, another blue with a silver case, and finally, a third model pink with a gold case. It's also worth noting that the smart bracelet's design is more inspired by the Fitbit Luxe than the Fitbit 4.
Here are the best Fitbit Charge 4 models:
Renderings of the Fitbit Charge 5 reveal that the new shape of the band closely resembles that of Google's Pixel Watch. Indeed, Google acquired Fitbit last January for nearly $2.1 billion. We therefore believe that the design of the Fitbit Charge 5 was not chosen at random!
Has the release date of the Fitbit Charge 5 also leaked?
Since the information comes directly from blogger Evan Blass, there's nothing official on the subject yet. However, a detail on the dial might give us an idea of the bracelet's release date.
Indeed, upon closer inspection of the photo above, you can see a date inscribed on the bracelet: October 23rd ! Let's not kid ourselves: this is a fairly common practice, observed among manufacturers in recent years!
As a reminder, the Fitbit Charge 3 was launched in October 2018. The following model, the Fitbit Charge 4, was launched in March 2020. Therefore, anOctober 2021 release date for the Fitbit Charge 5 would be entirely possible.
October 23rd : a clue or a random date? We'll surely know more in the coming weeks!
