To remedy the disappointment of the the loss of the altimeter in the Charge 5, suggest you re-add the the flights-of-stairs count by using the app and the mobile phone’s built-in altimeter/barometer.
Now I know why the Charge 5 is selling for $79 on eBay! Had I known all the features of my Charge 4 wouldn't be included, I wouldn't have bought this jazzed up screen version. I like the brighter screen but I would rather track the floor. I guess the screen software was cheaper than installing an altimeter.
So sad. The Charge 6 was finally announced today and no altimeter, despite early rumors that it would have one. Even if the altimeter was the only feature they (re-) added, I would have immediately pre-ordered it. Unfortunately now I'll need to look for something other than a Fitbit.
