If you're looking to listen to tracks without a phone while working out, you'll need to sign up for Deezer or Pandora Radio - neither of which are particularly tempting in 2021. Despite sharing a parent company, YouTube Music isn't supported for offline playback here, and neither is Spotify or Apple Music. Outside of the tracking, I found the Charge 5 notably lacking in features compared to smartwatches. It wasn't ready for primetime at launch, but you can check out all of my thoughts on it in the update at the bottom of this review.

It sounds pretty cool, combining your activities from the previous day with sleep data to predict the results of your next workout. Fitbit's newest addition for the Charge 5 is a "Daily Readiness" score, designed to keep you focused on mixing workouts with rest days.
