I “upgraded” from Charge 4 to Charge 5. I regret it. Are you finding the battery charge of the five lasting far less, perhaps 2-3 times less than the Charge 4?

My original Charge 5's battery lasted 6-7 days. Then, I experienced sudden drop in battery power shortly after updating to the current firmware. My Charge 5 was replaced after the screen became non-responsive. So far, the replacement is working fine even after updating to the current firmware and the battery is back to lasting 6-7 days.

I have not received a replacement. I need a replacement. My fitbit 5 is a crock. But I have not yet requested a request. Gotta find some time.
