Yesterday I received my Fitbit replacement. They sent the Fitbit with no band or charger. I'm satisfied and quickly setup the Fitbit. I decided to take all updates and uninstalled the ECG and EDA scan. Turned off most notifications and only use the phone GPS. First day I didn't wear the new Fitbit Charge 5 just to test what the battery drain may be. After a day of sitting on the table the Fitbit is at 98%. Today I'm attending a workshop/walk about edible plants in the woods and intend on wearing the Fitbit to see if it maintains a normal battery drain. I'm taking baby steps back into using the Fitbit Charge 5 replacement. After reading the many posts I'm thinking the Fitbit Charge 5 Fitness Tracker is meant to be used differently and not all day long like a watch.

@MsDraz I'm glad you got your replacement and it's going well so far. However, if it's working properly, you should be able to wear it all day like a watch - as long as you aren't using GPS all day. I wear mine all the time and use the inbuilt GPS to track running and walking (60-100 minutes at a time). I usually charge every 3-4 days depending on how often I use the GPS.
