Other important specs to be aware of are the device’s 50-meter waterproof rating and operating temperature range of 14–113☏ (-10–45☌).


Recharging the tracker takes just 2 hours using the included charging cable. The Fitbit Charge 5 offers up to 7 days of battery life and notifies you when the battery is running low.
