Fitbit Charge 5 Review | A Good Fitness Tracker, A Better Fitness App
After using the Fitbit Charge 5 over the last 6 months, I wanted to share my honest thoughts on whether or not it's worth using as your #1, go-to fitness tracker. It goes beyond the basic step tracking with features like sleep score and stress tracking, but does it stand up to the other fitness tracker/smartwatches out there?

All his cons are because it doesn't have smart watch capabilities.. but it's not a smart watch! It's not meant to be boss.. it's a fitness tracker!! so all the extra stuff you are getting on it is bonus.

Exactly! Hence why i wear both the Apple Watch and a fitness tracker (Oura ring/whoop). If the Fitbit came out with a dope smartwatch fitness tracker combo, id be sold!
Noah looks like he's in great shape... I'm feeling good that my resting heart rate is as good as his!
Incredible review ,

Thank you! 🙏🏾
Very informative. Cheers 👍🏻. I’ve had to replace every strap on my Fitbit’s. I’ve had issues with skin irritation on every model I’ve owned. Switched to aftermarket and they’ve been fine. Very strange 🤷🏻♂️

I had no problem with Fitbit 3 and 4 but versa gave me skin burn and had to return
More on the app please?
Do you know if you can set up a goal mile to run before you run?
My priority is tracking my sleep and energy levels, and readiness daily. For this, would you say the fitbit charge 5 is more accurate or the oura ring?
Bro underrated

Is it a good idea to wear series 7 as main watch and sleep tracker like fitbit on your right hand .. I m thinking of getting charge 5 preowned for my sleep tracking ... rest everything is being taken care by apple watch 7 .... do you think its a good idea ?

After owning two apple watches I can definitively say nobody should own one. It’s literally useless if you have an iPad and iPhone. A fitness tracker and a nice $300 analog watch will work fine and look much better.

I think the Charge 5 would be good enough for sleep tracking and a minor smart wearable. I wear both for testing but honestly would just choose one or get an Oura ring + apple watch
What I hate about this device is that I cannot turn it off. Why can I not turn it off if I don't want to use it daily?
Same exact issue with the band.
Fitbit charge 5 or oura?
Does it still work if you wear it on the ankle instead of wrist?

I've had mine for a week. It won't hold a charge for longer than a day.
how can you get it to track miles when riding a stationary bike?

It might do it if you manually add it in the exercise on the charge 5 itself
Is it worth upgrading from the Charge 3?

I changed from the versa 3 to the charge 5 I’m loving my charge 5
It’s a tracker not a smartwatch so it’s not likely to have any or many smart features I find the strap way more comfortable than any other Fitbit watch I’ve had too
Fitbit 4 charge or Fitbit charge 5 which one to get ????

Do you know of a fitness app + band/watch that has realtime workout tracking in the app and shows your real-time heart rate while working out? I’m doing cardio on a bike and want to see heart rate on the app on phone plus time and distance.
Why can't I get accurate steps this thing is always wrong.
Got battery problem, less than 1 year die 😭
Damn
if i want a smart watch then i go with the company that pairs with my actual smart phone. I want an actual fitness tracker that i can wear opposite my real wristwatch... so yeah, i don't want a smart watch and this product seems to fit my bill. Negatives presented in this video are pretty minor

That’s exactly what I’m looking for. A fitness tracker, but not a smart watch. I’m trying to detach myself from my phone more these days. The last thing I want, is notifications to my wrist watch.
I heard that fitbit 5 isn't compatible with older I phones is that right?
Why are you comparing a Fitness Tracker with more expensive Smartwatches?

Because the lines are starting to get blurred between the two 😉
It sounds more like you're an apple fanboy comparing a tracker to a smartwatch. You'll never get smartwatch capabilities on a tracker . They're 2 different beasts

Wait for my next few videos which highlight a few products that do a decent job of both 😉 (i do love apple though too lol)
It’s useless I run on the treadmill and the treadmill said I ran 7 miles the Fitbit said I ran 10.3 miles and yes I had the Fitbit on the treadmill setting 3.3 miles out absolutely useless

You are trying to compare an orange to a grapefruit!
Just another way for big brother to track us while we think there's a benefit. I found myself stressing just wasting time trying to use the thing. Their quick start is a joke, they send you to the web. The darn thing isn't even heavy enough to use as a paper weight. Glad it was free to me so I didn't waste money .
It’s vulgar to show off your biceps.

Dont but fitbit! Dont do it unless you want to to reset the correct time endlessly...I mean monthly! Like be late to places? Probably not. Just ridiculous. Stop spending money on slick youtube videos and fix that shit!
