 There's an argument to be made that the Fitbit Charge 5 is one of the best value fitness trackers ever made, and after using it over the past month, I would have to say that's a pretty fair assessment. With an assortment of impressive features like an ECG, sleep tracking, a daily readiness score, an HRV or heart rate variability tracker, a built-in GPS, an EDA or electrodermal activity scan, a blood oxygen monitor, water resistance up to 50 meters, a nice bright AMO LED screen, fitness tracking, compatibility with both iOS and Android, a fairly robust 5-day battery life, and all for a price tag under $500. The value is very impressive, but what I like the most here is the user interface. I don't think I've ever used a fitness tracker or a smartwatch that was able to do this much, but was this simple and straightforward to use

 After a certain time at night, which you can adjust, it'll turn off the screen and the display motion detection completely. So if you want to turn the screen on, you'll need to tap it twice, which means no more accidentally waking yourself or your partner up, which happens very frequently with many of the other watches that I've tested. But more importantly than its bright look, the Fitbit Charge 5 has one of the best user interfaces I've ever used. The swipe up, down, left and right navigation here works extremely well

 The while for its price, the Fitbit Charge 5 offers a lot. It won't be the perfect fit for everyone. With limited workout tracking features and a less than ideal heart rate and GPS accuracy during workouts, the savings and price does have a hidden cost. This is Colin with Connect the Watts, and welcome to my review of the Fitbit Charge 5

Fitbit Charge 5 Review - still worth it in 2022?

 Then there's the disgusting battery life which seems to be caused by bad software. 7+ days battery life advertised on the box but it barely gets 24 hours with even with features turned off.

I've just bought the Charge 5 (first ever smartwatch) and my experience hasn't been great. Initially, I thought the premium would be a nice extra with mindfulness sessions etc but didn't realise that if you choose to opt-out, the company will block device features such as giving you your sleep score. Then there's the disgusting battery life which seems to be caused by bad software. 7+ days battery life advertised on the box but it barely gets 24 hours with even with features turned off

Is fitbit dodgy?

 I think maybe the technology just isn't quite there yet for heart rates below 40 or 50. But I will say that it does show me my average heart rate of about 157 bpm when I finish a run, and I believe that number is legitimate.

 Granted, my resting heart rate is in the 30s, so when it gets UP to 40, it alerts me that my heart rate is too low. I don't necessarily fault the device for that, though.

But I will say that it does show me my average heart rate of about 157 bpm when I finish a run, and I believe that number is legitimate

 Today was not overcast at all, and I started running. GPS was working fine but I had to hit Pause to correct a wardrobe malfunction. Took about 20 seconds, and in that time, I lost GPS connection. Not sure if it thought I was finished, or if it just likes to stay in motion, but when I looked back at my screen, it said GPS connection was lost

Edit: I ended up sending the device back because the GPS is so unreliable. Maybe there's another FItBit model with better GPS connectivity, but this particular one isn't going to work for me.

Good for most common uses but GPS connection is lacking.

 Both those things help me keep making more videos that I hope everyone out there gets to watch, enjoy and learn from. If you're looking at Fitbits, you likely already know the basics they can do. They can count steps and track your activity, monitor your sleep, check your heart rate and a lot more. I find Fitbits to be super accurate, particularly when you calibrate them

 Fitbit has basically become a household name in the tracker health monitor field, but the company hasn't been resting on its laurels. They continue to release newer and more varied offerings, and the Fitbit Charge 5 here is no exception. I'm Erin from TechGadgetsCanada.com and Fitbit says the Charge 5 is their most advanced fitness and health tracker to date

 It'll track your real-time pace and distance as well as track your route for a workout intensity map you can view in the Fitbit app. You can also see your heart rate zones and pace throughout your run if you want. Fitbit also offers guided audio workouts with a Fitbit Premium membership which by the way an introductory six-month membership of Fitbit Premium is included when you purchase your Charge 5. The Fitbit Charge 5 is pretty rich in features and just like each of us as individual, which of these you need, want and will actually use will depend a lot on you

Fitbit Charge 5 review: Why you're MISSING OUT if you're not wearing this smart fitness tracker

Review Retraction: Rashes from Strap

 I'm really really trying to give this thing an honest shot before scrapping it, but so far I'm not thoroughly impressed. If anyone has any helpful tips for me, please feel free to reply directly to my review.  >>Run Feature: My only real issue so far with this device's Run feature is that the touch screen is difficult to use sometimes, especially when running. Let's be honest, when I'm done with my run, I want to just be able to hit Stop and see my stats

  Display: 5/5 Nice display. Not much else to say about that.  Functionality: Hard to say at this point how I would rate the overall functionality since many of the features are completely extraneous to me. I'm a runner, so I really just bought this for tracking my distance and occasionally checking in to see what kind of times I'm running

 But I will say that it does show me my average heart rate of about 157 bpm when I finish a run, and I believe that number is legitimate.  I will update my review as I've had more time to use this device. Giving it some more time before I decide to scrap it and upgrade. I'd love it if someone could tell me how to actually Stop the clock at the end of a run

Edit: I ended up sending the device back because the GPS is so unreliable. Maybe there's another FItBit model with better GPS connectivity, but this particular one isn't going to work for me.  This is an ever-evolving review which I am updating as I've had more time to learn and use this device. Here are my initial thoughts after about two weeks of use

 There is my hour of activity for this current hour. And then my current heart rate. My sleep last night was not so hot, not so strong. My sleep score right below it, 68 fair

 That seems optimistic. It was a pretty miserable night, but all sure, Fitbit. There's my SPO2 reading for the night. My exercise of the days, the number of the week, so two out of five days this week

 And today we've got a complete review of the new FitBit Charge 5, as well as nine new things to know about this unit. Now, I've been using it for a while, so I've got a pretty good idea of where it works well and where there's some significant tradeoffs being made, some tradeoffs I have not seen in a decade plus of reviewing watches and devices. So definitely stick to this entire video where I dive into all those nuances. Now, before we talk about those nine new things, let's talk about the price

 Those are my active zone minutes right there. 90 steps, again, heart rate, and I can swipe up to get into kind of my dashboard of the day. So you can see 10,000 steps, 6.46 miles, 90 active zone minutes

Fitbit Charge 5 In-Depth Review: 9 New Things to Know

  To my great disappointment, Fitbit released Charge 5 without the promised Daily Readiness Score, which would basically indicate your recovery score after you wake up in the morning, telling you how your body is really doing, and whether you should go hard or easy on yourself for the rest of the day. It’s a great way to modulate your workouts and properly recover without overstressing your body. The Biostrap is excellent for that very reason (see some of my dashboard pics). That’s what I wanted out of this Fitbit and they didn’t deliver

  As it stand today, I would rather spend extra $20 and get an Apple Watch SE, which would be a superior tool in just about every respect until Fitbit delivers on the Daily Readiness Score. I’ll have to see how my experience with Charge 5 evolves, but I am giving it very generous 3 start for now…

Half baked, expensive, accuracy issues? UPDATE: can be RETURNED just fine

 I'm happy to report that the Charge 5 is really bright and easy to see when you are doing an outdoor workout, for example, and I had no issue whatsoever looking down at my wrist during a workout like a run to see my stats. And overall, a note on comfort, I found the Charge 5 was really inconspicuous. It's not as small or as lightweight as something like the Fitbit Lux, but I think that is probably too small for a lot of people. This seems to be a really happy medium, and I never really found it got in the way when I would say sleeping, working out, or just wearing it every day
