Fitbit Charge 5 Advanced Fitness & Health Tracker (Black) with Built-in GPS, Stress Management Tools, Bundle with 2 Watch Bands, 3.3foot Charge Cable, Wall Adapter, Screen Shield & PremGear

Worked great! Until it likely saved my lower arm and hand when I got it crushed by a tree planter while plant planting 15,000 trees last weekend. Was a cheap silicone band on it since I tend to get rashes from non metallic bands. Still waiting on an MRI to see what internalnsoft tissue damage i sustained, but it gave me enough warning to yell "stop, put it down put down!" I can't stand flashy or gawdy items and this fitbit was perfect. Have to see if I can still get it.

I've owned every Charge HR series since the 2nd. My Charge 4 broke when the screen shattered after slipping, so I decided to take advantage of a Black Friday deal and get the Charge 6. Unfortunately, the Charge 6 was a disappointment right from the start, with inaccurate running results and firmware update issues. After talking to friends who had similar problems, I returned it and decided to try the Charge 5. The onboard GPS on my Charge 4 was glitchy and unreliable. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the Charge 5, especially because the built-in GPS is more accurate than my iPhone and Samsung phone GPS. However, the built-in GPS sometimes takes a while to connect and drains the battery faster. While it worked fine during a 12-mile run, the signal couldn't be found when I tried to use it 200 miles away, so I had to rely on my phone for GPS.

I had a Charge 2 that actually lasted for several years, although both my wife and son had charge 2 that didn't last long and were basically pieces of junk. Since mine lasted for several years when it finally gave up the ghost I decided to go with a Charge 5 since I was familiar with the app.For the most part I liked it when I received it, but I soon noticed after 2 of 3 weeks that occasionally it wouldn't respond when I'd try to tap it to wake it up. It would eventually come up but it wasn't counting steps while it was in that mode. It seemed to be in some kind of restart cycle. This kept happening more and more frequently until this weekend when it stopped responding for almost an hour and also stopped syncing with the app.I contacted Fitbit support. After troubleshooting they agreed it was toast and forwarded my case to the warranty team since it was only a little more than 2 months old. After a couple hours I was contacted by the warranty team who said since I purchased it on Amazon through Safe N Quick and they are not registered with Fitbit, they would not honor the warranty. Thanks for nothing Fitbit. Suggested I contact Safe N Quick. Did so and was informed by them that they only accept returns for the first 30 days so since it's been 2 months you're out of luck. More sterling customer service.I suspect with the way it is behaving and based on some comments on the Fitbit community page that Fitbit may have pushed out a software update that bricked it but can't prove it.In any case given that my family has now had 5 Fitbit Charges and only 1 actually lasted more than a few months, I will NEVER buy a Fitbit device again. Also, recommend if you do purchase a Fitbit that you think twice about buying through a third party seller because when it breaks, and it will, you'll probably be out of luck.

Battery life and charging units(2) no longer charging after 13 months to expensive to have fixed

This is a great product for you if you want to track your activity, sleep, heart rate or other things like that. It is slip and comfortable to wear. It also is wonderful because it has alarms you can set on the watch itself, (not having to use your phone) and also timers the same way. It also, if is connected to a phone, has the ability to find your phone. This is great especially when your phone is on silent, because this will still make it ring. The battery life is long and it is a quick charge. The only thing I hated about this watch is that it has no physical button. I hated trying to get the screen to light up when I wanted it to, and there was nothing I could physically push to get it to turn on. You know yourself though, so if that doesn't bug you, this is the tracking watch for you. My husband loved it!

ordered this as the fitbit 4 was not working after I swam with it. I waited to swim with the fitbit 5 and just did for the first time July 4 and it never worked again and I have so many bands for it and for the charge 4 that is no longer charging or working and also the versa 3, not working. I would like the charge 4. I wAS HAPPY with it but not am thinking of switching away from fitbit if they do not help and I cannot locate a phone number for them

Ordered this watch in late august, it’s now early may and the watch is no longer working.The warranty is supposedly void because I bought it on Amazon and not directly from Fitbit.Watch wasn’t the greatest but it worked for what i needed. Now that i see how customer service/ warranty is… I’ll spend my $200 elsewhere and Will never another Fitbit again.
