Had a good run!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was one of my best fit bits I've had! It was comfortable, lasted about 3 days, and gave me all the information that I needed! Well, almost. It gave me my sleep and heart status. My oxygen levels. Gave me messages. It did die on me several weeks ago, after having it for about half a year. I don't know if it over heated or what, but it no longer turns on. So I purchased the Samsung Watch5.

Good enough, not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to say that no altimeter was a big disappointment at first. But after a few months I started to accept it and use the active zone minutes to challenge myself. Display and colors are bright and it gives me all the stats I currently need. Still, a bummer that I won't know how many stories I had climbed after hiking.

Great value, great price . . .
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, great price. Fitbit links to my work HR Health website to chart my daily activities. Easy to read display. So lightweight, you forget you're wearing it. Quick delivery service from Best Buy.

Upgrade From Fitbit 3
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Fitbit 3 and upgraded to the 5 and so glad I did! The color makes so much of a difference. The battery life is also a lot better. I wish that when they come out with new versions they would leave existing features and just enhance. I don't particularly like any of the clock faces. Why not leave the ones we have come to love and add some new ones? Though I like this watch compared to the 3 I think Fitbit could have done better. I hope they will consider what already works in future offerings.

Fitbit 5 charger
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my new Fitbit charge 5 tracker. I have found the battery life of 7 days to be accurate. I like the design and screen on the tracker. I do like the previous wrist band better then the current one.Fitbit charge 5

Great Tracker Lacking Reliability
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the features of the Fitbit Charge trackers, this is the premiere health tracker in my opinion, but the reliability is majorly lacking. The good: Great battery life, charge it once/week, great analytics (resting HR), sleep, stress, link calorie tracking with MyFitnessPal, lightweight and low profile The bad: RELIABILITY. This seems to be a constant theme of Fitbit Charges. I have owned every single model. There was one or two of them that were decent, but the Fitbit Charge HR 5 falls firmly in the unreliable category. Within my first few months of owning it I had to get a replacement due to it not holding a charge. Now maybe a year later at best I’m in the same boat, my tracker won’t hold a charge. Fitbit really needs to address reliability.

I wanted to love it. Then I just wanted to like it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love it. Then I just wanted to like it. I can't do either. The charger sucks. The first time I charged it, it appeared to be charging. It was not. It's not complicated. It should have been charging. It wasn't. I took it off and put it back 3 more times before it charged. This has happened a few times since I've owned it. The display is not as easy to turn on as the Charge 3 I had. The alerts don't seem to make any sense. Why is it constantly buzzing to tell me I'm on a call? Or if there's a calendar alert it's constantly buzzing to remind me of the alert. Even if I clear the message from the Fitbit. The rest of the menus on it don't navigate as easily as the Charge 3 I had. I've been using this everyday for almost 2 months. It sucks and I hate it. The battery life seems good. So bonus star there. The watch faces are all pretty lame. I could only find one that I could tolerate. Overall, it's not a good product. I feel like the (cheap) band will break like the 4 I went through on the Charge 3. It's only a matter of time. (The 4 I went through on the Charge 3 were all in a two year span.)

Best Tracker for a guy like me.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After three weeks I have found that this is the best fitness tracker for me. I am happy how well it tracks workouts through the app and even senses me doing yard work(it classifies it as a bike ride). It’s simple UI is easy to learn and shows just enough information on the small screen to get by. The battery life is very nice as I only need to charge it once every few days. As a guy with some wrist problems the small size it a better experience than larger smart watches. The sleep tracking has been very insightful and I have found I am getting to bed on time more often.

Perfect Tracker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect Tracker. I needed something that is small inexpensive and easy to use to track health. This is perfect. I highly suggest it. I tried Apple Watch for 2 days and returned it to buy this.

Charge 5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded to this from Charge 4. Although I’m not a fan of the clock gallery choices, I do believe that it tracks steps, heart rate, etc. better. Screen seems much more scratch resistant as well.

Best for a reasonable price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried a Halo, it was awful. Tried Amazfit 7, still no good. I finally bought a Fitbit-Charge 5 and I'm beyond happy. Easy to set up and use, great tech support from Fitbit. Tech support is available 24/7 and it's in the USA. (No waiting for emails to be returned from China like Halo & Amazfit). I got it for a super deal at Best Buy. It has all the activities I need and it has a water lock so you can use it in the pool too. It is good to a depth of 5 meters (16.4 feet). I wash dishes, shower and swim with it. Battery lasts a full week. Couldn't be happier!

My wife is still Charged up about her Charge 5 !!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was for my wife, who'd had two (yes, 2!!) Fitbit Versa 3 devices die (sadly, both were out of warranty!), so she wanted to return to the smaller form and hoped for a longer-lived device. So far, so good. She's had to adapt to the different screen and how the device works, compared to her Versa 3 devices, but she's still liking her Charge 5. (We've each had Charge devices in the past, before we moved to Versa devices, and liked them, so in many ways, this was a step back into a comfort zone for her.)

Great activity tracker, helpful health insights
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for tracking activity, it's usually very accurate at identifying different exercises. It was a little uncomfortable to wear at the beginning, you have to wear it a little loose and the rubber band doesn't look good that way. Battery life without the notifications enabled is pretty good, about 4+ days, once you enable notification it drains faster, I'm getting about 1.5 - 2+ days tops, it depends on how many notifications you're getting. The Android app is great at providing insights about your health based on the data collected, I did activate the 6 months of Fitbit premium that came with the device so I'm using some of the insights available in the premium tier. Overall, this is a great tracker and would easily recommend to friends.

Fitbit Charge 5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this watch! This is my fourth Fitbit Charge watch. I previously owned the Charge HR, Charge 2 & most recently the Charge 3. The screen although slightly smaller than the Charge 3. Still has a great shape in addition to the added touch of gold giving it a sleek look. I also love the vivid, color display, which stays visible even in bright sunlight! Some new features I like are the zone minutes, EDA(tracks electric charges on skin for stress etc.) & ECG scans. I highly recommend buying this watch!

Great Watch!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this watch. Went from a Charge 3 to a Charge 5, and the difference is dramatic. Many different new things to monitor, and it seems more accurate.
