Over the last several months, my Charge 5 has been dying during the first few minutes of exercise with increasing frequency. Today I was doing some light cardio before a yoga class and it died within a few minutes. It used to mostly happen once the charge was below about 30%, but today when I "rebooted" my Charge by plugging it in, it was at 74%.
I usually don't notice it until later when I go to track if I've hit my goals. This is my fifth Fitbit Charge and though I've had this one longer than some (the first two didn't even make it a year each), I'm feeling like it's time to switch brands.
Is there any legitimate fix for this, or is this one destined to join its predecessors in the landfill, too?
