Welcome back to the forums @Nellita23. 

Thank you for sharing the inquiry about the Charge 5. 

While it's tricky to give an exact lifespan, a lot of it comes down to how you use it. By keeping an eye on the battery, protecting the screen, being mindful of its water resistance, and giving it a regular clean, you'll be giving your tracker the best chance to be a loyal companion for years to come.

My first lasted less than six months. My second about 18 months but died today. Both were treated very well. They just don’t seem to last very long.

Mine just died today and I had about 2 years.  Wish it would last longer than that, as I don't want to continue to buy this product every 2 years.

Mine has also just died!  Never been used for swimming or any water.  Very annoying. Trying to contact help centre for advice. Been using Fitbit for over 9 years now - is it time to change?
