I purchased my Fitbit Charge 5 because a friend told me it was less expensive than an iPhone watch, and it could do many of the same things. Also, I was not interested in talking or texting from my wrist - although the notification features are great! I am using the Charge with the Premium app which gives me access to tons of health data, activity videos, and sleep patterns. I have not been disappointed, and the watch motivates me to incorporate more activity into each day. Setting everything up was simple, but I did need to call the help line to sync my watch and the online app for the first time. The person who helped me was amazing and talked me through the entire set-up. I would recommend this watch and the Premium app to anybody who is looking to level up (and digitize) their daily exercise/health routines.

The new charge 5 is super snazzy. It has a whole new look. It easily picked up from my charge 4. I use it to check my sleep every single day and I’m very interested in the amount of deep sleep and dream sleep it reports and I’m happy to say that these figures have improved quite a bit since I first started. This degree of reporting is not available on the iphone I believe. I also like to check my heartbeat rate when I’m exercising because I worry about the number climbing too high which might be a problem for me at age 78. It also reminds me to get up and walk 250 steps every hour and since all of my hobbies are sedentary this is a very good feature . Of course I’m using Fitbit premium which is worth every penny and is one of the very few subscriptions that I have. Before I sleep at night I always do one of the mindfulness activities on the Fitbit. Unfortunately sometimes I fall asleep while I’m doing them or I should say fortunately. To sum it up I just love my fitbit and can’t live without it.

The Charge 5 lives up to it's billing. The Super Amoled screen is much easier to read in the daylight. The ECG told me I probably have Afib. I do and have dealt with it for 2 years. That feature is accurate. The pulse readings are accurate and agree with my cuff readings. The Specific Oxygen reading is accurate and that's useful to this 80 year old ex smoker. Occasionally the steps count is low by about 10% but mostly it's accurate. That's good enough for my needs. There's a small learning curve to navigating because there's no button but I'm very comfortable navigating the screen now that I've used it a little. I use my Fitbit to monitor my heart and my activity. The Charge 5 gives me a little more info than my Charge 2 and the accuracy is close enough. The one thing I would change is the band. I prefer a traditional buckle but this band works fine and I won't deduct a star just because I prefer something that doesn't come with the tracker. I did not sign up for Premium because I no longer do intense workouts so I don't need those features. Hope this helps.
