The one thing I dislike about the watch is that I have to charge it Everyday!
Disappointed
Great battery life and sleep tracker. However, I am very disappointed in the accuracy of pace and distance estimates for walks and runs. This cannot be used for serious running.

A little confusing to set up, had 2 updates in 3 days. Last update allowed the ECG to work. Can’t set it up with Bluetooth across multiple devices which i could do with my Charge 2. Does have some nice advanced features.

Got my Fitbit in April of 2023 and it has already died on me. I took good care of it too and never wore it in the shower or pools even though it says it’s water resistant. Yet, 14 months later it has already died on me. I wouldn’t recommend as everyone I know who also owns a Fitbit, has had the same problem with theirs dying within 1-1.5 years of having it. I enjoyed using it during my little time that I had it but I do recommend putting the money towards a higher quality product.

It worked great for the first year or so, but it's been bugging out for the past month. There no good way to reset it with the charger like the older models. No matter what i do lately I can't get it to consistently display the time even after adjusting the screen wake settings on the watch. No success in tweaking it through the app. I have bought multiple charger cables for it thinking they had something to do with my problems; but I've been through like 5 cables and frankly i'm done. I've been a fitbit user for almost 10 years, and I'm throwing in the towel after this. Gonna get a Garmin.

This product only lasted me 4 months. This is the second time I have brought this product, and it won't change. I do not believe it is waterproof for cardio. I like the tracking part of the app, but not the watch. I wouldn't recommend this product. It is a waste of money.

“Find my phone” is useless! Sensitivity of screens is unpredictable. Sometimes you have to tap hard, sometimes soft., sometimes doesn’t respond at all. I understand it’s a stripped down tracker but the little it offers is not reliable at all.

Bought Nov of 2022 and in May of 2023 the battery went. Very disappointing. I should have heeded the reviews.

Bought this Charge 5 when it came out, but after just a little over 1 year, it stopped working!! I contacted Fitbit, but they won’t stand behind the product beyond that 1 year warranty, so I’m left with paying to buy another Charge 5, or buy something else. I would have expected it to last at least until the next model (Charge 6?) came out, but it didn’t make it. Buyer beware - the Fitbit may “appear” less expensive, but factor in the fact that it does not last and you may be shelling out to replace it shortly after a year!
