charge upgrade 5 to 6

I'm wondering if I should upgrade charge 5 to 6. The reasons are

- there's good/better price on amazon $99 with taxes for me +6m premium

- there's a dance activity though I doubt it could work well half of the time I'm standing and listening

- I know gps is worse but I don't need

I don't unstarstand why fitbit could not add new activities or clock faces to 5, actually it's very annoying as it's only about software update

Also found whoop like 25% cheaper on amazon, the app seems to offer better value / more analytics i.e. it show correlation factors/rest

Hello @fanciho2 and welcome to the Community.  I want to share some information that might influence your decision.

  • Amazon is an authorized retailer, but it is a marketplace site.  A Fitbit must be listed as shipped and sold by Amazon to eligible for the Fitbit/Google warranty.  That price is likely from a third party seller and there is no Fitbit warranty.
  • The dance exercise shortcut records the same information as the workout shortcut.  Just a different label.  Fitbit removed the ability to rename workouts and you can’t change it to dance.  It doesn’t seem to be that important to you.

Take a look at the Fitbit help site for further assistance and information.

Honestly, wish I didn't upgrade. Almost pointless. Exact same watch shape. Lost features like stair counting and its just as bad tracking my sleep and my heart rate. I did think it was cool it prompted a notification on my watch that said "are you using the Elliptical?" And I could hit yes for it to track.
