Inside, the Charge 5 main unit, a replacement watch band, a charging cable, instructions, etc. were included.

◆ I actually used it
So, let's actually use Charge 5. Tap the screen twice or turn your wrist to wake it and display the following home screen. On the home screen, the meter that displays heart rate, steps, distance traveled, calories burned, etc. is displayed on the left side, and the date and time are displayed on the right side.
Swipe up / down / left / right from the home screen to display various tracker apps. By default, the functions that can be checked by swiping horizontally are 'Notification' that displays the notification that arrived on the smartphone, 'Exercise' that starts recording aerobic exercise, 'Alarm', 'Timer', and Stress value. Five types of 'skin potential activity scan' that measures changes in skin potential used for calculation.
You can swipe up to check the core statistics screen for date / time, steps / distance traveled /
The functions that can be checked by swiping downward are 'Payment', 'Silent mode' on / off, 'Good night mode' on / off, and shower for payment with credit card, debit card, mobile Suica, etc. registered on the application side. There are 6 types of 'Waterproof lock' on / off and 'Settings' to prevent the screen from becoming active when you are in the water such as inside or swimming.
You can also operate it on the Charge 5, but you can see the details of various information on the Fitbit app side of the smartphone you set earlier. The home screen on the application side looks like this.
If you scroll vertically, various functions will be displayed in a row, so from here we will actually look at various functions.
'Stress management' is 'responsiveness' calculated from heart rate fluctuations during sleep, increase in resting heart rate the day before, results of skin potential activity scan, etc., daily steps, weekly activity level, fitness level for exercise fatigue. Record the score determined from the 'activity' calculated from the above, the total sleep of the past week, the restlessness during sleep, the 'sleep pattern' calculated from the REM sleep time and non-rem time of the previous day, etc.
'Sleep score' displays various sleep data measured from Fitbit Charger 5, such as sleep time, sleep stage (REM sleep, light sleep, deep sleep time), sleep score (sleep quality), etc. Screen that gives me. It seems that not only the sleep when sleeping in the bed but also the sleep when falling asleep at the desk is recorded perfectly.
If you're enrolled in Fitbit Premium, tap each score to see details such as sleep time, non-REM / REM sleep ratio, and resting time.
'Mindfulness' is a function that supports skin potential activity scans. When performing a skin potential activity scan, you are asked to relax, and it is a function that allows you to choose a fairy tale about the mindfulness to be played at that time.
There are about 30 types of tales available, and only one type for non-Premium. However, all types were English voice.
'Exercise' is a screen that aggregates the results of various exercises such as running and cycling. The Charge 5 is equipped with GPS, which automatically determines the exercise based on the owner's movement status and starts recording.
Looking at the recorded results, the heart rate during exercise and ...
Calories burned
It tells you how much you are committed to the goals you set.
The 'health index' is similar to a kind of 'sleep score', and is a function that allows you to view changes in respiratory rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, blood oxygen wellness, and resting heart rate during sleep. It's not something like 'Be careful about your health because your breathing rate is only XX times per minute', but when you look at it over a long span of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 'The respiratory rate for 1 minute is gradually decreasing. It is a function to grasp the health condition from the viewpoint of 'na'.
'Activity by hour' is a function that displays the number of times you have cleared a preset activity goal.
By default, when you're wearing the Charge 5, you'll occasionally see a 'walk 250 steps every hour' exercise goal with vibration, as shown below. If you walk 250 steps in an hour, you will reach your goal and the number of times will be recorded in 'Activity by hour'.
'Weight' is a function to manage weight as its name suggests. Since the Charge 5 is a smartwatch, you can't weigh it, and if you don't use a Fitbit-enabled smart scale like the
'Moisture' is a screen that records daily water intake, and of course it is necessary to manually record the amount of water intake. You can easily record by tapping the '1 glass (250 ml)', '1 bottle (500 ml)', and '1 large bottle (750 ml)' icons.
'Meal' is a screen that records daily meals. You can enter calories manually, but you can also register detailed nutritional information from the name of the dish. Tap the + icon on the top of the dish ...
When you enter the meal content in the search field, the corresponding menus are displayed in a list, so tap the option that is close to the dish you actually ate.
You can set the amount, time, date, etc. you ate, so select 'Log this'.
Then, as shown below, calories and nutrition information corresponding to what you ate are recorded.
It was convenient for dietary management because you can check the nutrition information calculated from the registered information.
In addition, Charge 5 can also register credit cards and mobile Suica, so I will try it. First, tap the icon at the top left of the home screen.
Select 'Charge 5'.
Tap 'Wallet'.
A screen saying 'Payment is easy' will be displayed, so tap 'Start'.
You will be asked to set a PIN, so tap 'Set PIN'.
If you enter your own 4-digit PIN code ...
Transition to the following card addition screen. This time I will add Mobile Suica, so select 'Suica'.
Tap 'Issue Suica'.
Enter your name, date of birth, gender, and mobile phone number, and tap 'Next'.
Then, the deposit screen will be displayed as shown below, so when you enter the amount, Mobile Suica will be deposited to Charge 5 via Google Pay. All you have to do is hold Charge 5 over a Suica-compatible payment terminal to easily make payments.
When you actually use it, stress measurement and sleep recording are quite impressive among various various functions. It is attractive that the stress measurement detects the level of stress that you do not even know, and the sleep record not only detects and measures the nap while lying down on the desk, but also calculates the sleep score from the analysis result. I also found it convenient to automatically determine the type of activity such as marathon and cycling and measure it during exercise. Since the display turns on just by turning your hand lightly, the display is displayed only when you are in the 'position to look at the wristwatch', and the fact that the battery has about 4 days without charging also contributes to ease of use. rice field.
The Fitbit 'Charge 5' can be purchased on Amazon.co.jp for Luna White / Soft Gold for 25,410 yen.
