I've been fighting with my Fitbit Charge 5 ever since the November 2022 update broke the sleep score and resting heart rate tracking. I finally decided I've had enough. I just got back from a cruise where I dived on Aruba, Curacao, and La Romana, which reminded me that I wanted to replace my Cressi Leonardo entry level dive computer. Since it's a 1 button affair if you go past something you need to go through the entire menu to get back to it. What a pain.
After some research I settled on the Garmin Descent G1 Solar, a true smartwatch/dive computer. Although it has a much higher price point it's so much better! After 1 day I have my sleep score, resting heart rate, breaths per minute, O2 stats, and so much more. If you're a recreational diver I can't recommend this highly enough!
Activity trackers have had their day, let's face it. And I'm tired of trying to get my Charge 5 to work as it's supposed to.
