 I think maybe the technology just isn't quite there yet for heart rates below 40 or 50. But I will say that it does show me my average heart rate of about 157 bpm when I finish a run, and I believe that number is legitimate.

 Granted, my resting heart rate is in the 30s, so when it gets UP to 40, it alerts me that my heart rate is too low. I don't necessarily fault the device for that, though. I think maybe the technology just isn't quite there yet for heart rates below 40 or 50. But I will say that it does show me my average heart rate of about 157 bpm when I finish a run, and I believe that number is legitimate

 Today was not overcast at all, and I started running. GPS was working fine but I had to hit Pause to correct a wardrobe malfunction. Took about 20 seconds, and in that time, I lost GPS connection. Not sure if it thought I was finished, or if it just likes to stay in motion, but when I looked back at my screen, it said GPS connection was lost

Edit: I ended up sending the device back because the GPS is so unreliable. Maybe there's another FItBit model with better GPS connectivity, but this particular one isn't going to work for me.

Good for most common uses but GPS connection is lacking.

 Both those things help me keep making more videos that I hope everyone out there gets to watch, enjoy and learn from. If you're looking at Fitbits, you likely already know the basics they can do. They can count steps and track your activity, monitor your sleep, check your heart rate and a lot more. I find Fitbits to be super accurate, particularly when you calibrate them

 Fitbit has basically become a household name in the tracker health monitor field, but the company hasn't been resting on its laurels. They continue to release newer and more varied offerings, and the Fitbit Charge 5 here is no exception. I'm Erin from TechGadgetsCanada.com and Fitbit says the Charge 5 is their most advanced fitness and health tracker to date

 It'll track your real-time pace and distance as well as track your route for a workout intensity map you can view in the Fitbit app. You can also see your heart rate zones and pace throughout your run if you want. Fitbit also offers guided audio workouts with a Fitbit Premium membership which by the way an introductory six-month membership of Fitbit Premium is included when you purchase your Charge 5. The Fitbit Charge 5 is pretty rich in features and just like each of us as individual, which of these you need, want and will actually use will depend a lot on you

Fitbit Charge 5 review: Why you're MISSING OUT if you're not wearing this smart fitness tracker

 There's an argument to be made that the Fitbit Charge 5 is one of the best value fitness trackers ever made, and after using it over the past month, I would have to say that's a pretty fair assessment. With an assortment of impressive features like an ECG, sleep tracking, a daily readiness score, an HRV or heart rate variability tracker, a built-in GPS, an EDA or electrodermal activity scan, a blood oxygen monitor, water resistance up to 50 meters, a nice bright AMO LED screen, fitness tracking, compatibility with both iOS and Android, a fairly robust 5-day battery life, and all for a price tag under $500. The value is very impressive, but what I like the most here is the user interface. I don't think I've ever used a fitness tracker or a smartwatch that was able to do this much, but was this simple and straightforward to use

 After a certain time at night, which you can adjust, it'll turn off the screen and the display motion detection completely. So if you want to turn the screen on, you'll need to tap it twice, which means no more accidentally waking yourself or your partner up, which happens very frequently with many of the other watches that I've tested. But more importantly than its bright look, the Fitbit Charge 5 has one of the best user interfaces I've ever used. The swipe up, down, left and right navigation here works extremely well

 The while for its price, the Fitbit Charge 5 offers a lot. It won't be the perfect fit for everyone. With limited workout tracking features and a less than ideal heart rate and GPS accuracy during workouts, the savings and price does have a hidden cost. This is Colin with Connect the Watts, and welcome to my review of the Fitbit Charge 5

Fitbit Charge 5 Review - still worth it in 2022?

I can comment on the Charge 5 comfort - it's amazing, I have it on 24/7 and don't even know it's there.

Hello there,

First time user of any sort of fitness tracker or smartwatch. That seems to point me more towards fitbit, correct? I am an android user fwiw (lg v60)

Sometime in July I had a sort of come to jesus moment about my health and I'm proud to say I've been gradually improving everything a bit at a time from amount of food to the quality of food to working out 5x a week and walking dogs 2x a day. Lost 20+ lbs and have always loved data and tech and gamifying stuff. I have terrible sleep habits, adhd, anxiety and depression and am on meds, so being able to see things like my heartrate shoot up to remind myself I cant have 3 coke zeros and 70mg of vyvanse in the morning sounds like a great next gradual step to work on. The stress scan thing and daily readiness data of the fitbit 5 sound good. I also read that the fitbit 5 is more comfortable, and I am wondering how I'll do wearing something like this 24/7. 


The main selling points of the garmin seem to be that its cheaper and I've read that garmin is generally more accurate for exercise tracking while being slightly worse for smartwatch features, and idgaf abt smartwatch features really so that just seems like a plus. I also read that the garmin might have better features for women re: menstrual tracking etc? 

I have tried to read about all the smartwatches but there are so many different lines for each brand and often they aren't directly comparable, especially considering the different app ecosystems behind them etc. The fitbit 5 seems like the more future proof choice, I like the idea of the ecg and stress scan and daily points and other new features to come, however I worry about accuracy and want the best features tailored to women's health and dont want to spend extra money for a watch that has more features but does them less accurately. Thoughts?

Thanks for any help!

Fitbit charge 5 or garmin vivo 4 or other (Polar)? Focus on general wellness (F26)

The Fitbit Charge 5 is better in every way except form/fit. As long as you can stand something on your wrist, I highly advise against the Oura ring.

I’ve always been a data nerd… tracking health-related metrics like weight, calories, and exercise on paper, then excel, then apps, and now a full-blown database my whole life.  When wearable trackers became a thing, I was all in, getting the Samsung Gear Fit early on.  I never liked the Gear Fit…. It seemed *way* off on everything.  I eventually moved to Fitbit in 2017, and fell in love.  My little Charge2 seemed like a little miracle, and gave me loads of info to play with.  But I liked the look of the Apple Watch, and had serious wearable-envy.  I tried to scratch that itch with an Ionic the following year, but I always thought it was ugly (too masculine), so as soon as the Versa came out, I bought that and gave the Ionic to my brother.   My old Charge2 went to my husband, who roundly abused it by dropping it, scratching it, then after about a week, tossing it into a drawer to be forgotten forever (he’s not the tracking type).

In 2019, I couldn’t hold back the temptation any longer, and I bought an Apple Watch series 3.  To say I fell hard and deep in love would be an understatement.   I promptly gave my daughter my Versa, so that I could bask in my abiding love for my new AW.   I never looked back.  I went on to purchase the AW5, the AWSE, and the AW7.   It’s a weird addiction… always wanting the latest and greatest. But the AW3 soon became virtually obsolete, unable to upgrade without a herculean effort (they still sell it, which is beyond ridiculous).   So I traded it in for credit with Apple.  When I bought the AW7, I gave the AW5 to my daughter, who then gave the Versa to her husband.  So nothing goes to waste!   I always share the love!!    And while the AW7 is great, it didn’t come in rose gold, so I bought the silver color (“Starshine?”), which I didn’t love.  The SE was my favorite, and I loved it.

My brother (still rocking my old Ionic) told me about the Ionic recall situation.  I thought, “I haven’t thought about Fitbit in years.  I’m gonna check out the website and see what’s new.”    Immediately I was met with Will Smith and his Charge5.  I love Will Smith!   Good call, Fitbit, getting Will.   I’m intrigued.

Then, my eyes landed on the Luxe, with the pretty designer link bracelet.  WHAT??  Soft Gold?  Pretty to look at?  Now again, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my rose gold AWSE, but it’s a big old thing sitting on my wrist.  Not delicate and pretty like the LUXE.    Then I see all the new features Fitbit Premium has to offer, like the sleep score, readiness score, lots of new ways to challenge yourself, stress monitoring, etc.   I want a sleep score and a readiness score!  My data-loving self loves to assign numerical values to everyday situations!!  And while Apple Fitness badges (monthly challenges) can be motivating, those monthly challenges get progressively harder until you basically have to do a half-marathon every day to get one (best to take several months off every so often so that it thinks you’re lame again and resets to easy stuff).  My itch to buy something new flared up with a vengeance.  I asked my brother about the rebate/ discount.  I offered him my 4 month-old Apple Watch 7 (45mm) with 2 years of Applecare (an almost $700 value!)  in exchange for the Ionic offer.    He said he would get back to me.   

Not being able to wait, I searched through the junk drawer and found the old abandoned Charge 2.  I charged it up, and it sprung to life, so eager to please me with a “Ready to Roll!” message shining through it’s cracked screen like a playful puppy. All it was missing was a wagging tail. I paired it to my old Fitbit account, and hit the road with the Charge2 on one wrist, and my AW on the other.  “Impress me,” I told the Charge2.   It did!

The steps, calories, and distance (GPS Connected) from the Charge2 were comparable to my AW.  The sleep score delighted me.  “I’m sold!!” I thought.  I’m just gonna be one of those people who wears TWO devices… to hell with it.  I’m too old to care what anyone thinks, anyway.  But the Charge2 is old, and pretty ugly, so I just took the plunge and bought the LUXE at Best Buy.  I still hadn’t heard back from my brother about my offer, but it didn’t matter.

I loved the LUXE from the moment I put it on.  It’s so tiny!  So delicate!  Not very easy to navigate around, but the prettiness factor outweighed that.  But it was time to put it to the test…. Time to take a very long walk, with hills, short jogs, etc.   Let’s open her up and see what she’s capable of!!

My verdict:  The Luxe was disappointing.  My old, decrepit Charge2 was way more accurate than the LUXE.  The distance was way off.  There was no map, even though I had the app open on my phone.  Apparently there is a learning curve with this one.  A couple more attempts, and while the steps seem close to my AW, the distance is off.  HMM..  But it’s still so pretty.  And the sleep score!!

My brother finally responded, and I turned over my AW7 to him in exchange for a beat-up old Ionic and an email.   I paired the Ionic to my account, registered it for a refund, and got the one-time code for the Fitbit discount “store.”   Once in the store, I’m glad I didn’t wait to get my LUXE – it wasn’t on offer there.  
They had a Sense (I don’t like the shape), the Charge5 (for $103!), and something else, along with some bands.  I was thinking that the 40% would be on ANYTHING Fitbit sells.  It’s not.  It’s only for a select few items.  Oh well.  So I bought the Charge5 in Soft Gold – I figure I can wear it for workouts because it can’t perform WORSE than the LUXE- it has built-in GPS, and Will Smith wears one!!  I also got a black band, just in case I give it to someone in the future who doesn’t want a white one.   Then, I went to Fitbit’s regular store and ordered the pretty gold designer bracelet for my LUXE.     My plan now is to (always) wear my AW on my right wrist, my LUXE with pretty bracelet on my left when not exercising, my Charge5 for workouts, and my poor old Charge2 for sleeping.  I know you can’t have the LUXE and the Charge5 on the account at the same time, but it’s easy enough to pair and unpair as needed.

That’s my little story about Fitbit and AW.   And damn that Oura Ring for shamelessly flirting with me everywhere I look.  My finger itches…..

Back to Fitbit… Kind of….

One more gripe is that Fitbit took away the altitude sensor (altimeter?). I never cares so much what my altitude was (sea level, 5K feet above, etc.) but I LOVED knowing that I did 30 flights of stairs running back and forth from my home office downstairs to the kitchen! ;-) Seriously, I do like to know that. 

Fitbit removed that and forces you to fumble around with swipe gestures to navigate. This is particularly frustrating because I often end up deep in the menus and just want to punt and get back to the 'home screen' and start over.

 So, when I walked the neighborhood loop to my house, it really is nice when my Charge 4 let me know that I also did the equivalent of about 10 flights of stairs with each loop. Without the altimeter, that information cannot be shown.

Also, we live on the top of the steepest hill in the area. All the high school track team run through and sometimes then football team will do sprints here. So, when I walked the neighborhood loop to my house, it really is nice when my Charge 4 let me know that I also did the equivalent of about 10 flights of stairs with each loop. Without the altimeter, that information cannot be shown

Brighter screen, but for me an overall downgrade.

 There is my hour of activity for this current hour. And then my current heart rate. My sleep last night was not so hot, not so strong. My sleep score right below it, 68 fair

 That seems optimistic. It was a pretty miserable night, but all sure, Fitbit. There's my SPO2 reading for the night. My exercise of the days, the number of the week, so two out of five days this week

 And today we've got a complete review of the new FitBit Charge 5, as well as nine new things to know about this unit. Now, I've been using it for a while, so I've got a pretty good idea of where it works well and where there's some significant tradeoffs being made, some tradeoffs I have not seen in a decade plus of reviewing watches and devices. So definitely stick to this entire video where I dive into all those nuances. Now, before we talk about those nine new things, let's talk about the price

 Those are my active zone minutes right there. 90 steps, again, heart rate, and I can swipe up to get into kind of my dashboard of the day. So you can see 10,000 steps, 6.46 miles, 90 active zone minutes

Fitbit Charge 5 In-Depth Review: 9 New Things to Know

 Then there's the disgusting battery life which seems to be caused by bad software. 7+ days battery life advertised on the box but it barely gets 24 hours with even with features turned off.

I've just bought the Charge 5 (first ever smartwatch) and my experience hasn't been great. Initially, I thought the premium would be a nice extra with mindfulness sessions etc but didn't realise that if you choose to opt-out, the company will block device features such as giving you your sleep score. Then there's the disgusting battery life which seems to be caused by bad software. 7+ days battery life advertised on the box but it barely gets 24 hours with even with features turned off
