  1. at the beginning when I say "a price tag under $500… I actually mean under $150"… ???

  3. Is the hrv measured using the optical sensor or electrical sensor and if any idea about the sampling rate?

  4. On the run function it tracks distance differently than the Samsung fitness app

  5. Nonsene! This watch loses GPS constantly. Dynamic mode also. Trash!!!! My garmin HR after two years…still going strong…granted not GPS , but I usually carry my phone with me for Music.

  8. Fitbit could be so much more if it took the seriousness of a company like apple. They are great value for money until something goes wrong. I really love the brand, I hope it raises the bar.

  9. Any athlete serious about HR would buy a chest strap, not an overpriced iPhone

  11. Charge 5 is the most unreliable product since its founding. My brand new unit lasted only 4 months and was replaced with a new unit that lasted only 10 months. The latest refurbished charge 5 received only last 4 months without any update since the returned 2 weeks ago. Bad product and poor after sales service as online support simply waste of time not helpful at all.

  12. I just bought this watch and returned it. The pedometer is crazy off and if you review their website you will see that many others have reported this problem since beginning. To me, they should call for all of this product as it is faulty from manufacturing .

  13. I’ve had both a Fitbit and an Apple Watch (both times I’ve had an iPhone) and the Fitbit is just better. The Fitbit has so many more features and is way cheaper than the Apple Watch. Fitbit for the win fs

  14. I wouldn’t buy one again. The data on the Fitbit is different to the app data on my phone. I am particularly disappointed with achieving my 250 hourly steps on my Fitbit charge 5 then seeing it marked as not achieved on my phone. Occasionally, what the Fitbit on my phone records as achieved, later shows unachieved!

  16. My charge 5 stopped swiping left or right only scrolls up and down

    Ive tried restarting under settings and with charger but no luck

    Ive also tried changing the clock face several times

    Any ideas on how to try and correct this fault??

  17. I bought it today from Amazon for 107€ plus a 10€ 3 year insurance because my charge 2 broke just after 2 years and this one seems too. I tried amazfit and samsung watch but I never felt so motivated as with fitbit…

  20. The sad thing is I had/have the Charge 5. I preordered and was one to receive the first batch released. Within six months I found out it isn't water resistant "waterproof" at all. I typically would take my watch off to do dishes but one night I decided to keep it on since it is supposed to be water proof up to whatever depth. No, it died and was completely useless. They sent a replacement that just died. I ran the update as normal and the device completely shut down. They do not carry a waranty on the replacement, therefore, you will receive a 35{63ea5be50f54569954d442015639ec5a17aa3072669d5c9419118ee976a460f8} discount code to buy a new one. Save your money and get soemthing better.
