5.0 out of 5 stars Works well.
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023
My previous FitBit was the original Charge HR, which had battery issues from the start. It was advertised as having a battery that would last a week, vut it never lasted much more than a single day, which then required more than an 8 hour charge. Unfortunately, that seemed to be everyones experience. I should have paid less attention to the overall satisfaction of users, and more attention to what they had to say about battery life. And when it failed several years ago, it was, unsurprisingly, a battery issue (it was lasting less than a day). And it persisted even after I replaced it. So I just put it in a drawer, several years ago.

So before buying the Charge 5, I checked out all the reviews, and how long the Charge 5 holds a charge did not seem to be an issue at all. And the battery does indeed seem to last for a week! I haven't actually checked how long it actually lasts, but it is at least 5 days, possibly longer!

My only issue is calling up the clock. The original Charge HR only required a quick turn of the wrist, and it turned on the display. The 5 has required tapping on the screen. Right now it requires 2 taps on the screen. It was originally one tap. I assumed that it is capable of responding to a turn of the wrist, so I changed it from 'Automatic' to 'Manual', and now I have to tap it twice. Not a big issue at all.

Quite possibly it CAN turn on the day from a turn of the wrist, and I just haven't done my due diligence researching it.

But so far, I am quite happy with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fraudulent company
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
I noticed my wife had an annual plan on the fitbit. I cancelled it and then noticed there was also a monthly plan. After investigation I found that there was an annual plan purchased on the fitbit site and ALSO on Google Play for the same account. This had been there for years. I called Fitbit several times. They refused to refund for the duplicate account. Originally they told me to contact Google to get the money back. I aksed how Google was supposed to know about the duplicate accounts. They never had an answer for that. I then said how about you refund the annual plan instead since they could see both. Then they got defensive and demanded I prove that both payments were for the same account. They can see that on their side. I will NEVER buy a fitbit again (and my whole family has them). Fraudulent company that would prefer to steal from customer than treat them well. BTW, there is no reason to pay for the premium app anyway as it adds almost no functionality. It is not required.

This is my first fitbit, and it was worth it. I've only had it a couple hours and I already love it. Customizable clock with tons of different apps and goals for the day. The only problem I had was my BPM kept reading numbers that would signal I'm having a heart attack like 124 and 138. Other than that I love it. I'm really looking forward to losing weight!! But the main reason I purchased was to tell the time during school. I also have a track meet coming up soon on Friday so this will be great to track my steps with! I'm looking forward to possibly upgrading to a Versa 4 in the future! I recommend purchasing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Do not get the Charge 6!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023
I had the 5 and "upgraded" to the 6. I returned the 6 and ordered a new 5 (gave my wife the old one and she wasn't giving it back). The 6 didn't broadcast HR the way I thought, if at all. The device had a glitch and I walked 1,000,000 steps in one day. Wasn't even tired. Lastly, the clasp wouldn't hold any band but Fitbit. So a long-winded way to say DON'T BUY THE 6! STAY WITH THE 5!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don’t buy a Fitbit.
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024
This is my third Fitbit and I will never purchase another. My original Charge 2 still works but you couldn’t see the watch face outside. The luxe worked great for about 14 months. Then wouldn’t charge. I made the mistake of buying a refurbished Charge 5. Lasted one week. Returned. Received another that lasted 35 days. Too late to return on Amazon as they have a 30 day return policy. Would never buy again. Not worth it. Guess I’ll wear one of my regular watches where the battery lasts for years, and then you can just replace battery. Poor quality control.

plus I can wear it comfortably, the band is soft, no need to replace it. Also plenty small enough for my wrist (smallest band is what I use). It was just a little tricky to learn how to navigate, but really does the job. I'm 71, eyes aren't the best, but I can see the display fine! The phone app is just ok, but I just take note of what my watch says, I don't need an ongoing, every day record. Hardest thing for me is to remember to "pause" then press "done" (smiling embarrassingly)

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but drama with this thing
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023
First off, it ALWAYS wanted to update by Firmware. I tried so many times to do this and that never changed. Every time I opened the damn app, is said to update the firmware. Damn Firmware was firmly not wanting to update...whatever the hell firmware it wanted to update the FIRST day I open the box. Secondly, the charger that came with it broke within the second week (one of the copper tips fell out). So I bought a new one but it didn't have a reset button. So you know, if the screen of the Fitbit Charge 5 device is "blacked out" then there is no way to reset this stupid thing without having a charger with a reset button (why the hell would the reset button not be on the device !?!?...and if it isn't....who the hell would allow someone to sell a charger without a reset button. so frustrating. like charging to take a poop and you just assume there will be toilet paper, but there isn't!).

So I went and bought another charger with a reset button. Got the thing turned back on, but would only stay on for about 15 minutes. now it won't come on at all! Had it 6 months and it seems like it's toast. Piece of junk! Only reason I give it 2 stars is that I kind of liked it when it worked. Like flying on an airline that only has delays 50% of the time
