Charge 5 display size feedback

[Nodat]

I think it was a bad choice not to have a full display on this small screen. The bezels are huge and a lot of information on the watch is hard to see, I e battery charge indicator. I wish Fitbit could increase the display size since 35% of it is black bezel, thinking of returning it because of this decision

Hi, I appreciate all the details that you've shared about your experience with the new Charge 5m, @Nodat.  

I noticed a few ideas about adding some features and improvements to the Charge 5. If you haven't done so already, please consider voting for this idea posted in the forums: Make a larger font size available for all stats on Charge 5.

However, if you have a more specific idea and you thing it's something that could be implemented to the Charge 5 with a future update, I would recommend that you post this idea in the Feature Suggestion board of the Community, since this section is regularly monitored by the team of developers. Make sure to post your idea including as many details as possible. 

Thanks again for sharing all your feedback and comments. 

Have a great day.

Fitbit Charge 5 

Pros 

Amoled display, EDA sensor, ECG sensor.              

Cons.                                                                              Huge bezel, minimal display, no Agenda app, no Weather App and no swim lap or distance counting  during activity on tracker.

@Nodat Thank you for sharing your experience with the product. I'm sure this will be useful for other users as well. 

Have a good day.

Hi Davide, 

What are the dimensions of the watch itself - Charge 5?

Thank you,

Rod

Sorry I returned it long time ago, the bezel is huge and the display is
small.

Thanks Nodat! I have a Samsung GearFit2 Pro. Nearly perfect size. But, I had afib and the heart apps on the Charge 5 are inviting. 

But I don't want to go smaller than the Samsung - approx 2" x 1."

Thanks again,

Rod

Yes, the ekg is a big plus for the charge 5, but the size of the display
was the deal breaker for me, as well it doesn't count laps or distance in
swim mode, only time on the band.

Nodat,

If you were to guess - do you think a Charge 6 will fix those issues and how long is the wait for Charge 6 in your opinion?

Take care, and get those laps in. BTW, I wasn't very fast but I was on my high school swim team 1960-1962.

[Nodat]

Instead of a charge 6 I would like something in between a charge 5 and a
fitbit sense i think that's what's missing

I also have a beautiful Samsung Gear S2 (round face) but I prefer the rectangular styles better.
