Charge 2 lifespan

[FitGuy1965]

Well, my Fitbit Charge 2 battery finally died a couple of days ago. I must say, I still keep glancing at my bare wrist for the current stats or the time. The fitness tracker lasted from November 2018 to January 2025 and through hundreds of karate classes, gym workouts, outings, and millions of steps, without an issue so I'd say that's quite amazing. RIP little guy. 😉

Hi, @FitGuy1965 , I am so sorry you have said goodbye to your little guy!  I have a gently used Chage 2 that is still just about going…. 

If you are in the mood to update, I think you would be amazed at the advances from the later Charge models (we’re on to 6 now), or if you are happy with a lower level tracker (but still with more features and a slimmer footprint than your old Charge 2) I can really recommend the Fitbit Inspire 3.

There’s a compare trackers feature at the Fitbit store so you could choose your upgrade.  And, just by the way, I would recommend giving Fitbit Customer Service a call contact.Fitbit.com and let them know that your trusty Chare 2 has bit the dust.  I am not sure of their current policy but I know that they are often able to offer a substantial discount to loyal customers looking to upgrade.  Worth a try!

Wishing you health and great workouts.
