It seems that Google's wearables brand, Fitbit, is about to launch a new product. Everything indicates that it is new Fitbit Charge 5 , an activity bracelet that was partially seen at the beginning of the month. Now, after a new leak, more features and their price have been released.
The information comes from the hand of the leaker SnoopyTech, who through a tweet revealed a promotional video for the Fitbit Charge 5, whose data coincide with those previously filtered and support Fitbit's idea of keep betting on your “holistic approach to health”.
Precisely, according to the filtration, the Fitbit Charge 5 will incorporate ECG . It is the ability to measure the electrical activity of the heart, that is, an electrocardiogram. The function allows you to view the results on the bracelet or on the mobile or tablet.

Also, the new Fitbit bracelet will arrive with the Electrodermal Activity Sensor (EDA) for stress management. The two mentioned features are already available in the Fitbit Sense.
But this is not all. The Fitbit Charge 5 will launch a new function that, based on the data collected by the sensors, will grant a daily score . According to this value, the bracelet would recommend the most suitable workouts for the user.
In some cases, the scoring function might recommend exercises like yoga or medication, while in other more intensive workouts. Of course, the feature will only be available to Fitbit Premium subscribers .

And now, the most important thing. According to Snoopy's tweet, the Fitbit Charge 5 will be offered at $ 179 dollars . Should this become a reality, it will come priced somewhat higher than the current version, which was initially offered at $ 149. That extra $ 30 could be the cost to pay for the new design, features, and most of all, the color screen.
