Add relax app to Charge 5

[SedentaryRunner]

Is there any plan to add the relax app to the Charge 5? I preferred being able to not have to use my phone for breathing exercises.

When is the relax app going to be made available on the Charge 5??? 
Why would they remove this feature it’s the stupidest thing fitbit has done.

Hi, today I changed my Fitbit Charge 3 after more than 3 years. I got Fitbit Charge 5 as a gift. I am really disappointed that relax app is not available 😞 I liked it a lot and used it in different situations like after my workout or to calm down after a stressful situation or during it (e.g. plane turbulences). Easy and simple. Eda doesn't suit me, it actually makes me nervous. I'm considering not using this newer version of the Fitbit Charge, which is sad: newer versions of devices usually mean upgrade, I see it as a not successful one. I trully hope this feature will be available soon. The first posts about this topic are quite old. Are there any news, updates?

@Niklux No update, my humble opinion is that Charge 5 won't receive any update any longer.

It is a shame they haven't implemented this app. Ifi knew I wouldn't buy it

Any updates regarding this? Really hoping for the relax app to become available on Charge 5. I really miss that feature and am considering returning my fitbit cause I‘m disappointed that this newer fitbit is lacking a feature that was available on older models.

Why was relax on my last charge 5 before it broke but my new charge 5 does not have it available anymore?? I was using it last year same exact device??! Also I purchased a 2 year warranty and was emailed a out this saying it worked then was billed less and sent a second email??

I didn’t know this wasn’t on the Charge 5, I literally bought it with this being one of the features I was most excited about. All other much less expensive devices can do the rest.

I like many features of the Charge 5 but why did we lose the music control (such as Spotify) and the Relax app.  It seems that upgrading ones tracker model results in a loss of features.

And when you do the EDA scan you get a message that to get better results you should do breathing exercises... wasn't that the point of the Relax app?

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share all your feedback and comments about these features on the Charge 5. 

As you all mentioned earlier, this device does not include the Relax app. The Charge 5 includes many of the features available with Fitbit smartwatches at a more accessible price, but some features were not included. 

Thanks again for all the input, the team continues to work to improve the quality and your feedback is an important part of that process.

Maybe you should have called the Tracker a different name: typically, if
you go from one model number to another higher one, you have the same
feature PLUS improvements. Fitbit removed a very valuable tool for stress
management and replaced it by a poor one: with Relax, you can continue
doing what you’re doing while regaining control of your breathing - no one
has to know but with the EDA scan, you have to sit there for 3 minutes,
with both hands occupied. Not useful in most situation.
