Charge 5

Im 11 years a fitbit user. Fourth Charge. They wear out, I buy a new one because there is always a deal. I charge it for 10 minutes while in the shower and it never dies. I do miss the web page , but other than that it is a great piece of tech

No, it is owned by Google now. No more fitbit website, it a Google website instead. They keep tweaking the app, but it seems their customer service is lacking?... I have quickly searched and found answers for troubleshooting different things. Lots of people still using their fitbits are are happy wi

I've had my Garmin Instinct 2 for about a year now. It's almost comical how much more data I get from my swims compared to the Fitbit Charge 5 I had. Fitbit basically had like duration and extrapolated number of laps from motion. That was it. It was also wrong on even that one metric more often than

I just replaced my Fitbit Charge 5 with a Charge 6. It's a data thing too for me. Ten years worth of step data and earned badges give me a strange sense of comfort. The product reliability was fine too. I feel like I did everything I could do to stay healthy. 🤞

People like me complaining about Fitbit, and Xiaomi people that were using Bands under 6 complaining about Xiaomi ... A lot of that is because stuff changes. Xia

Im glad you mentioned this as my Fitbit charge 5 is recorded my HRV between 20- 28. I recently purchased the Polo strap which is accurate for HRV and which other devices are bench marked against. On the polar app my HRV is consistently the 50's! My partner is in the 50's on his new Amazfit device an

I learned I had afib from Fitbit Charge 5 after several warnings and diagnostic work up. I bought an Apple 9 Watch which does ECGs to track afib. AN EP/cardiologist diagnosed afib from an ECG on my IPhone taken on Apple Watch 9. You need a device that takes ECGs that can be viewed by physician———sin

When my Charge 5 died the exchange rate was bad. So I bought a Xiaomi Band 9, for 1/5th the price of the Charge 6. I was with Fitbit for 12 years and I'm glad I tried something else. My Fitbit's usually lasted 3 years / 3 typhoon seasons. So for the price difference I figured even if it only lasted
