Morning.  It's been a tough year, so in an effort to ramp up my self care and motivation I ordered myself a FB Charge 5.

 

I charged it and put if on at around 4pm last night and I noticed when I went to the loo in the night that it seemed dead. Just one of a few visits.... gives you an idea of my age 😉    I have all the settings tweaked, as suggested in other battery related posts  on this forum and I am recharging it at this moment.

 

What is the consensus from fellow users?  Do I send it back today or persevere (really don't need any more hassle at the moment).  Is it miraculously going to improve?

Hi Karmajules,

 

as a long time Charge user (owned Charge 2,3,4 and 5), i suggest you return it while the return window is open. i returned mine and use Charge 4 now until they come up with a fix for battery drainage issue. if you still like FB and want to stick with Charge, then get any of the older models Charge 2,3 or 4 as they are pretty stable. and have longer battery. if you are after the ECG, try Withings Hybrid Smartwatch. it has 4 weeks battery and analog/classic look. hope you find this helpful. stay safe
