Can I use my Charge 4 and a newly purchased Charge 5 to record 14 days of comprehensive tracking data while being off the grid for those 14 days. How would I accomplish this? Are there any issues to be aware of? Thanks for any guidance.

In the past, I have seen that without syncing generally Fitbits will store about 7 days of detailed data, then switch to storing about a month's worth of summary data.  That used to be in the "Help" section.  I haven't seen it for a while - not sure if it has been removed or just in a section I haven't looked at lately or what.  And I don't know precisely what detailed and summary data mean there.

Another issue to be aware of would be charging.  I assume   you would have to carry portable charging batteries if no access to electricity to charge Fitbits.

I would strongly consider not using GPS unless needed for battery considerations.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
