What is the best replacement for Fitbit Charge 5?
With Fitbit Charge 5 being retired in 2023, what are the best replacement options? Will Fitbit 6 be available soon, and will it provide equivalent functionality? Are Pixel watches a more logical transition?
Answer (1)
The Fitbit Charge 6 is the best alternative to the Charge 5 and is currently available for purchase. It is also available through certain vendors that support Fitbit drop shipping, such as MyDataHelps/CareEvolution. There is no major difference between the Charge 5 and Charge 6 in terms of the features it provides and the type of sensor data it collects; however, studies/further investigation may need to be done to ascertain if there is a meaningful difference.
If there are any studies that have been using a Fitbit device and need an alternative, I'd suggest to use another Fitbit model rather than switching to a Pixel watch, as your data may look very different depending on the device manufacturer.
