I believe weather app on Charge 5 has received more than sufficient amount of thumbs up and yes and support. 639 thumvs up and many additional conments. How many more does Fitbit need to add the feature?
This is false. The suggestion referral is o shut us up. Adding the Weather app has been asked of them since the first "5" box was opened. The best solution to this problem, unfortunately, is to get a Google/Apple/Samsung watch and get better support that actually cares about their users. No excuse for this app not available. I've owned the Charge since they came out and now am at the end...looking o buy myself a Christmas present that gives weather as we speak. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
My issue with getting something else is that I like the small profile of the Charge 5. I have the Versa and switched to Charge 5 for something smaller.
So WHY doesn't Fitbit Charge 5 have the Weather app — Hmmm? Says so right here (below). I highlighted the "Charge 5" portion. (Copy the image to a power point slide. . .then Zoom-in to have a closer look!)
I like to see weather on Charge 5. I always check out the weather each day. I got my Fitbit charge 5 last Christmas (2021) I like it. When I see weather not available I am disappointed that Fitbit charge 5 weather not available. I like to see weather on Charge 5.
I just switched from a very old apple watch to a fitbit charge 5 and it had the weather and steps on the screen you see immediately when lifting your arm. Im very disappointed with this purchase. Will return and purchase a new apple watch.

Please add the weather app to the Fitbit Charge 5. It's so simple and weather is important to know before you go out and exercise. Isn't this what this watch is geared towards? Exercise, health and quick info? Come on!
Okay. . .so at 8:50pm CST on 12/12/2022 . .I switched over from Versa 3 (my daytime SmartWatch). . .to Charge 5 (my nighttime SpO2 / sleeping watch). The Fb App had a Notification that a firmware update was available for Charge 5 ! I did the update. . .it took about 20mins to run to completion. Then I was excited. . . because I thought for sure. . .that the WEATHER app might've been part of this firmware update! It (WEATHER) was NOT! In other words. . .This is the first firmware update I've noticed since I had the Charge 5 on 07/01/2022. . .still NO WEATHER app included. I just Don't get it! I'm a meteorologist. I've had WEATHER info available on my wrist instruments. . .dating back to the early 1990s -- for cryin'-out-loud! Please add the WEATHER app to Fb Charge 5. Don't make me have to buy a Charge 6 when it comes out in the future (like next year). . .just because it "might" have the WEATHER app on it. Fb Charge 5 is a fine device. . .it Just Needs to have the WEATHER app on it Right Now!
Please bring back the Agenda, it is essential nowadays to see the upcoming events on your wrist. Weather, and music control were the things why I got another Fitbit after the old one died.

Having the temperature onscreen and some kind of weather app is not even something i thought to check for when i bought my charge 5 I honestly assumed it would be standard like every other smartwatch/fitness band i have ever bought. I am not even slightly concerned about the lack of music player controls (i use an earpiece 24/7 with al the controls i need for my music), But the lack of a temperature display of any kind is very annoying.
P.S. More clock faces would be great too but i can live with whats there.
I am floored this regression happened. Weather is the first thing all of us look at each day! Please, get an update to the OS out and make this a native feature again!!!
