My charge 2 died after 5.5 years. I’m on disability and mainly use it for steps, heart rate and sleep. I’ve looked at reviews on Amazon and can’t decide which to purchase next. People seem to have a lot of complaints with the newer charges and they are more expensive. Did you have to upgrade from a charge 2? If so what did you buy and do you like it?

For basic stats like steps, HR and sleep, I am a big fan of the Inspire 3 which is not too expensive.  It has an amazing battery life!

Sense, Charge 5, Inspire 2; iOS and Android

Suggestions:

1. Buy another Charge 2. Shop on eBay or Mercari or Poshmark or Facebook Marketplace. Look for seller that accepts returns. Use PayPal to pay. Be super careful. Have it mailed to you. NO meeting to pickup! No off platforms sales.

2. Try and do the same for a Charge 3. Note Charge 3 might have GPS turned on all the time compared to Charge 2 didn’t have GPS, so our Charge 2 batteries lasted longer on a charge! But maybe you can turn GPS off? 
Note I have a Charge 2 and yes I have never wanted to upgrade to a Newer Charge because Charge 2 does exactly what I want!

I have a crack in my screen and it still works I just protect it from getting wet!

Wishing you Luck in your Search for a Charge 2. They are out there. Some brand new ones possibly that were sitting on a shelf for years.
