It’s just OK. The software is pretty good, but the device has failed after 5 months. Ive tried to use their reset procedure but it doesn’t work at all. The device simply shakes, so it’s getting power. Hopefully, you don’t buy it and face the diappoinment I currently have. Hopefully fitbit customer service can rectify this situation.The 20 min later… Customer service has set a UPS label and a new device will be sent… I’ve seen on some forums to delete the device from Bluetooth… NEVER DO THIS.Fitbits recovery procedure from the black screen of death / no functionality is below.Please do the following on the appTo sync your Fitbit device: 1. Open the Fitbit app2. Within the Today tab, press and hold the screen while pulling down.If nothing is happening please make sure you tapped below the Today screen text and then pull down.After that ,please do thisWith your device nearby, in the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab thenDevices then your device.Tap GallerythenClocks tab.Browse the available clock faces.

For stuff like this, I sort by “most recent reviews”. I did that and saw all the negatives, but I still went with it, and I will tell you why. I simply like the brand overall despite some frustrations and wasting of money, haha.I think buying a Fitbit product is taking a risk. I am still reticent to move to another brand because I havent found one I really like, and I almost never like the apps. I simply havent been impressed enough to want to make a change. I have been gifted or borrowed other brands, and I still come back to fitbit. So I just view Fitbit as a throw away item that is sure to crapp out within 2 years. Not sure if it is the product or my body chemistry as my husband STILL uses his Fitbit Blaze from late 2015 to this day. ME? I went through 2 Blazes, and several others in the same time period.I have been using Fitbit nearly exclusively for 9 years straight. I have had the early model “fitbit” (whatever it was before HR came on the scene. circa 2014), then the first Fitbit Charge, Blaze (2 of them!), Versa 2, Sense, and then very recently I went backwards to the Inspire 3 and this Charge 5, simultaneously. I bought them both as the combined price was less than one smartwatch.I decided that I really didnt take advantage of all the features of the smartwatch, and so when my Sense crappped out exactly 2 years, I decided to go with a more basic model. I hemmed and hawed between the Inspire 3 and Charge 5.For my detailed review of the Inspire 3,

A useful aid to seeing my health metricsAfter much deliberation, I decided upon getting this for my first smartwatch. As expected, it arrived promptly and in good condition. The watch came pre-fitted with a regular size strap, though a longer one – which I didn’t need – was also included in the box.It was easy to follow the quick-start guide to link the watch to my (Android) Pixel 4a phone. And it’s the Fitbit app downloaded to the phone where some of the watch’s parameters can be changed, and where summary health and fitness data can best be viewed. Charging the phone was easy too. I decided not to unlock the premium trial, because I had no intention of paying for the service once the free period was over. As with any new strap, it took me a short while to decide how tight the strap should be on my wrist – and it now fits comfortably, which is quite important given that the watch is kept on my wrist overnight. I easily changed the watch display to one that included my heart rate.Accessing the various functions that come with the watch involves swiping up-or-down, or left-or-right, on the watch face. It will probably take me a while to work out and remember what function is where. I’ve used online searches to discover how to do some initial setups – having distances measured in miles rather than kilometres, and temperature in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit, for example – but it wasn’t always obvious what to do.I’ve also started to get weekly Fitbit statistics emailed to me, which I find interesting. All in all, I’m pleased with the watch. I evaluate it as a 4-star rating because I would have liked a short quick-reference guide to be included in the box: I don’t like constantly having to look things up online.

Steps awarded for cycling??!!I’m quite happy with this Fitbit apart from one gripe.It does what it claims as far as I can tell, and the heart rate it records is not too far off that I get from a chest strap HRM. Sleep recording seems about right, although it’s not good at detecting that I’m awake in the morning sat reading in bed.The app gives a good set of reports that provide a wealth of information for the user to spend hours looking at. Of course, it’s only useful if you choose to take steps to enhance your scores.My gripe is that, as a cyclist, it insists on recording “steps” while I’m out on the bike. It does this even when I select “cycling” as an activity! That’s why I awarded 3 for accuracy. I get 1,250 – 1,500 steps for each 15 minutes on the bike! Bonkers. Checking chats on the web this “feature” has been highlighted by users since 2018 and Fitbit have obfuscated the whole issue. Now apparently they claim it’s a “feature to award steps for all types of activity”. So, the Charge 5 is hopeless if you want to record bike activity as distance and separately record Steps taken during the day. Apparently it does the same thing for swimming and other “non-step” activities. All it needs is an option to “not count steps when on this activity” – surely a simple software update that shouldn’t take 5 years to sort out.Also using the GPS when on a bike ride eats the battery – don’t expect it to survive much more than an hour from fully charged. So, as a bike activity recording device – hopeless.Battery life (without GPS use) is good – I’m getting a full week on a charge.To conclude, neat, works well, good app but stupid recording of “steps” for non-walking activities.
