What is the temperature range of the Charge 5? For use in sauna and when snowboarding

[jseebs123]

I want to know if I can use my Charge 5 in the sauna at lower temps (120F to 140F). Also wondering how low of a temp can the Charge 5 withstand?

In the manual the temperature ranges are shown as:

Fitbit also say: "We also don’t recommend wearing any of our devices in a hot tub or sauna."

So, sauna use seems to be a bad idea. Thankfully you don't take many steps in a sauna!

I realized it says not to wear in sauna, this is why I asked at lower temperatures. And the fitbit isn’t only to measure how many steps you take everyday lol. There are many helpful health metrics you can observe when you go into the sauna vs. when you dont.

Thankfully you’re only qualified to search the web for answers instead of actually knowing the product!

@jseebs123   The answers you seek are in the Operating range.  The maximum operating temperature of 113°F means that you shouldn't wear it in a lower temperature sauna (or anywhere) where it is 120-140°F.  You can wear it snowboarding as long as it isn't below 14°F.  Yes, it is warmer under your glove than the air temperature.  But the type of battery in a Fitbit, and other fitness trackers doesn't work well in cold temperatures.

The Non-operating temperature means it is powered off and in storage.
