Craig Wilson / Inputįitbit’s also introduced an always-on option for the Charge 5, but it’s flawed. The brand themselves say, "While certain of our products may be water resistant or splash proof, it is always important to take it off after it gets wet and dry it well before putting it back on.The display doesn’t stretch to the edges. Unlike one of the other best fitness trackers, the Charge models aren't designed for complex water activities like diving or even over-exposure to water.

This isn't the case with the Charge 5, you have to leave it alone to charge for the full two hours before you can use it. Other models insist on a similar charging time - apart from the Fitbit Versa 3 which boasts an impressive 12 minute charging time - but you can use them before this two hour mark for a lower battery level. The Charge 5 needs to be plugged in and charged, using the simple USB cable system, for two whole hours.
