Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my wife for Christmas to replace the Charge 4 that I got her last year. She never really like the Charge 4 as well as the Charge 2 she had before it succumbed to a bicycle crash. This fits her small wrists slightly better and has more agreeable clock faces. We miss the Charge 2 that allowed a custom clock face with time, date and any two other metrics. The Charge 4 and 5 provide many clock faces, but none can be customized to provide what we want on one screen. Charge 5 price is 30% more than Charge 4.

A great improvement over the charge 4 and packed full of features. GPS isn’t the most accurate, but it does a pretty good job.

I had only had this watch one week when it froze and I had to restart it many times to finally get it to download the information. I had read that this is a problem with the watch. I did buy insurance on it in case it freezes again. Otherwise, I love the display, and all the features about it.

Like the constant in screen. Great visibility at night. Tracks steps well. Doesn’t recognize a workout quite as well as my old Alta.

bought this for a family member and it is easy to use. the app is bit complicated and the options/features for the display are limited unless you go premium with Fitbit

Charge 5 fits weightless on my wrist, display is easy to review and health tracker provides the necessary information I require.

Slim, comfortable, and tracks the items that I'm looking for. My focus is on daily steps, heart exercise, and sleep quality. This Charge 5 covers all 3 with relatively simple iPhone app. Battery life seems good too (about a week).

I had a charge 4 for around 3 years with no complaints. This is one step further in this style of fitness tracker. Much nicer feel and more comfortable if you wear to sleep, It is significantly faster and the color display does not hurt.

Pretty great for the value! My main complaint is sometimes you get trapped in menus with no ways to know how to get out of them, and the terminology used is a bit hard to decipher. What are zone minutes? I also think that the battery charge capacity has started dropping after the most recent update in January of 2024.

Bought for my wife as she requested a New fitness tracker, mostly for steps and activity. She thought she wanted a smart watch, but she tried the Sense 2 and thought it was too big and had too many features. She much prefers the smaller display on the Charge. She uses it for step counting, activity reminders, heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. It does it all flawlessly. She is very happy with the battery life, as well. She only needs to charge it every few days.

I recently upgraded to the Charge 5 after having the Charge 2 for over three years. I really like it! I had to adjust some settings in the beginning so the battery would last longer, Other than that, it was easy to set up and get used to.

Nice upgrade from my charge 3. Full color. Doesn’t always sync but works good enough for me

Great for everything I use for. Would recommand! Small and not bulky.

Other than the fact that I can see the screen in sunlight, I'm underwhelmed. The best thing is that I can see the screen in sunlight. While I appreciate the ability to read texts and some email on it, I need my glasses and once the message is gone, it's gone, so if I need a second look, I need my phone anyway. I don't see that the sleep tracker is any better than my old Charge 2. The only reason for the purchase was that the old one was dying. It has almost too much and the screens go away so fast. I did finally figure out where the settings on it are. I was used to doing settings only on the app. Now I have app settings and settings on the Charge 5. Some of the stuff I will never use, but I knew that when I got it. Battery life seems to be OK, about what is expected without the all the time on screen or anything else that tells you it impacts the battery. Glad I got it on a good sale and didn't pay full price. Looking for a new band. I break out from the original, as I did from the old one. Sure, they're waterproof and sweat-proof, but I'm sure they are the cheapest bands to put on & the Fitbit can soak you for another $35-$60 for a new band when you have to switch arms or stop wearing because your skin breaks out. All in all, not terrible, slight improvement, but there are things I don't like.

I got two Apple Watches series 8 and two of these charge 5 fitbits. The charge 5 battery life is awesome. My kids love them. Apple needs to step up their game on battery life.

I really like. my Charge 5 fitness tracker. It is easy to track miles and steps, time while dancing or exercising, and also sleep time. It was so easy to program too.

Solid watch. I use it everyday and it helps during exercise

Perfect for the guy on the go. i do lawncare and it works great to keep track of my needs.

Overall Excellent. I was using Apple Watch before and always running out of battery every day. Once switched, great experience, so far one charge last s one week!

This unit has a slightly better layout, battery seems to be a little better. Readouts are more accurate. I prefer this better than the fitbit 5.
