I got charge 5 to replace my charge 2 I’ve had it since 2018 maybe ? The screens cracked but it still works, I upgraded worried not for long.
steps etc great but when you try a run on treadmill the highest it goes is 109 and then it dips back down 90’s charge 2,same exercise goes between 115 to150 (bear in mind I have chronic health conditions so high intensity to me may look different) and on walks my heart rate picks up on charge 2 to as around 80, occasionally hitting fat burn zones.
charge 5 I gain exactly 1 zone min for walks did run With my charge 2 even though synced you can’t even view what active minutes you gained from it as 5 has zone mins instead.
Makes me feel lazy and **ahem** about myself. I wish they’d consider not all Fitbit users are athletes with immaculate health or weight loss accounts, people who can push their bodies a whole tonne.
I used to run two hours a day before chronic illness **ahem** on that.Just frustrated. I use the app for calorie logging, that’s important to me and don’t have iPhone just iPad and iPod for apps, not sure many would work with my phone.
can anyone suggest another fitness product that works for walks and treadmill type running, I can’t run outdoors and I mostly do walks over runs because of my health only manage 2 35min treadmill a week, anymore would land me unable to walk and bed/wheelchair bound.
