Charge 5 is a total disappointment

I’ve used Fitbits for over four years now and I’ve never regretted getting one until the Charge 5. This device has issues synching 9/10 times, has the most inaccurate HR monitor of any device I’ve had previously, it frequently deletes alarms, and is all around not worth what I paid for it. I’ve reset alarms three times in the night for there to be no set alarm in the morning. When I’m sitting and resting my heart rate is in the cardio zone, but when I’m in an intense workout it’s 80 at best. It’s so frustrating and I hope anyone considering buying this product doesn’t make the same mistake.

Totally agree.  I thought it was just me with the HR difficulties - but I bought an apple watch and compared the 2 - the fitbit said around 108 bpm whilst the apple watch had it at 143!! So annoying! Also my hourly reminders to move don't work.

Oh my god I hate mine!!! I was bought it for Christmas to replace my charge 2. It has no altimeter… needed for training for ultras. And now it’s deleted my fitness score!! And never mind how many time I go for a run it’s not corrected itself. Absolutely waste of money
