The Fitbit Charge 5 shares its band connector with the newer Fitbit Charge 6, so this collection serves both models from a single, wide range of styles. The Silicone band is the most popular choice, backed by the sweat-ready Sports band, breathable Sport Loop and Woven options, dress-up picks in Leather and Swift Leather, and premium metal finishes across the Milanese Loop, Classic, Infinity and Ceramic Stainless Steel bands. Everything ships fast from Australian stock with a 12-month local warranty and a satisfaction guarantee.
Which Bands Fit the Fitbit Charge 5?
The Charge 5 uses the same band connector as the Fitbit Charge 6, so every band in this collection fits both models. This means if you upgrade from a Charge 5 to a Charge 6 later, your existing bands carry straight across, and vice versa. Bands press into place with a simple click, no tools required. For the rest of the Fitbit range, the Fitbit Band Compatibility Guide confirms which models share which connector.
Band Styles for the Charge 5
Silicone
The Silicone band uses a traditional buckle and hole design with a sweat and water resistant, allergy-friendly build, available in black, lavender, lunar white, midnight blue and more.
Sports
The Sports band has a multi-hole design for quick, precise tightening and a breathable, sweat and waterproof construction, purpose-built for training, in black, dark blue, dull red, lunar white and more.
Sport Loop
The Sport Loop is a breathable, adjustable-buckle band with a sporty everyday look, in black, dark green, red and seashell.
Woven
The Woven band is a breathable canvas nylon strap with a traditional pin-and-buckle design for multi-point adjustment, in relaxed shades including apricot, black, blue and green.
Leather
The Leather band and slimmer Swift Leather band dress the Charge 5 up for the office in shades spanning apricot, black, brown, grey and pale pink.
Stainless Steel and Milanese
The Milanese Loop is a 316L stainless steel mesh with a magnetic clasp for stepless adjustment. The Classic and Infinity Stainless Steel bands are solid link bracelets with a secure clasp, and the Ceramic Stainless Steel band tops the range with glossy ceramic links, all across black, gold, rose gold and silver finishes.
Which Band Should You Choose?
- Workouts and training: the Sports band is purpose-built for it, sweat resistant and quick to rinse clean.
- Sleep tracking and all-day comfort: the standard Silicone or Sport Loop are the softest, most flexible options.
- Casual, everyday variety: the Woven band adds texture and colour without sacrificing comfort.
- Office or dressier occasions: Leather, Swift Leather, Milanese Loop or either Stainless Steel band lift the Charge 5 well beyond its stock sport band.
- Planning to upgrade to a Charge 6: anything bought here carries over, so it's a safe investment either way.
Caring for Your Charge 5 Band
- Silicone, Sports and Sport Loop: wash with mild soap and water, rinse after sweaty sessions, and air dry fully before refitting. Avoid harsh alcohol-based cleaners.
- Woven: hand wash and air dry flat; keep it out of the pool.
- Leather and Swift Leather: keep dry, wipe promptly after any moisture contact, and condition occasionally; avoid wearing during exercise.
- Milanese Loop and stainless steel: a soft damp cloth keeps the finish sharp, with a soft brush and soapy water for the mesh weave when needed.
