2 months in & a waste of $$  After having Charge 2-4's over the past few years,  the Charge 5 is a big letdown. I was tempted to just buy a new Charge 4 and forgo the 5, but the addition of the ECG feature changed my mind.  I've dealt with the 2+ day battery life (yes, GPS is off) the alternating clock/charging screen while wearing it, having to clean charging contacts every time to Charge, but today it's stuck on ECG screen and won't reset. I'll contact for warranty exchange and start shopping. Fitbit (Google) needs to do better.

I am similarly disappointed at the complete pile of steaming.... well, you know...  that the Charge 5 is.  I bought mine a few months ago and everything was great for about 2 weeks.  Ever since then, it loses its connection to my Android at least 2 or 3 times per week.  What a complete waste of money on a worthless piece of garbage.  It sounds like this has been a problem for quite a while and Fitbit seems to not give a **ahem**, since they already have my money.  Never again!!!
