Sorry, but you cannot on the same phone.  If you intended to use both for yourself, I suggest you return one, or give it away.

Very interesting.  You can use the Charge 5 for steps or for sleep:  not both.   I put on the fully-charged Charge 5 yesterday just before midnight.  I slept.  Then my percentage was down to 12% in less than 10 hours.  Why????

Yes, that is a frequent complaint, usually from people wanting two different fitbit models, say one for dress-up and one to get dirty, or such, but same issue.  But even if 2 accounts, still have issues:

(1) If for same person, data will be stored by account so not merged.

(2) If for 2 different people, can be done, but have to keep logging out of one account and then log into other account on phone app, as can only have one instance of fitbit app running at a time.

That's not what @JohnnyRow said at all.  What he did say was that you cannot have 2 Charge 5s connected to the same phone.  Each Charge 5 will track BOTH sleep and steps, so you do not need 2 separate devices.  

Since your issue has nothing to do with the OP's issue, I suggest you create your own thread.

You are correct. Thanks for insight
