Still getting 5 stars BUT a few cons in the operation of the device and the app. It’s an incredible product.
CONS
On the device you can’t disable some menu options and get them out of the way even though you don’t use them, like payments for example.
On the app sometimes it just doesn’t connect- like changing device settings such as the watch face- not sure if just my phone or device.
PROS
I got the Charge 5 specifically because it doesn’t have all the smart watch features like text notifications for example. But still has a beautiful color screen and the ability to see in real time your heart rate, steps, calories burned, and zone minutes which I don’t understand. To review your sleep you must sync to your phone then you can see an overview from the device screen or in detail from the app.
The app is very powerful- tons of ways to make sense of all the data points it collects
I believe the sleep tracking is excellent. This was the main feature I wanted.
The watch is easy to take on and off.
It’s hard to interact with the display of your hands are wet.
I have it on constantly and usually charge it every 5 days. It charges very quickly- like an hour or so.
The heart rate tracking is very accurate
There is a stress level test where you it measures electrical activity in your skin- I believe this test is useless because you have to squeeze the sides of the devise for 1-3 minutes or so- which is just not as accessible to do in the middle of the day or something.
The alarm feature is great- it just silently vibrates your wrist
For that reason alone I love it because I can get up and out of the house early without waking my family with a loud alarm.
Random stuff
You can buy third party wrist straps.
Sometimes the device freezes and you have to plug it into the charger and use the reset button

More "free" features than many reviews claim, but way too FRAGILE!
Other reviewers have claimed that lots of features are missing or require a premium subscription. I never activated my 6-month premium subscription, and I still get the sleep tracking and sleep score features that some reviews claim require a premium subscription. However, other "advanced" features definitely do require a premium subscription. Its scree For its price, I think this device is a great sleep tracker, a good steps tracker, and an okay fitness tracker. Unfortunately, it's too fragile to be a good or great fitness tracker. (More on that later). I'm generally happy with this device, but it has some pretty significant limitations. Because all of Fitbit's devices are now wrist-mounted, you can be doing things while sitting down and have it count "steps." Someone I know with mobility limitations uses a Fitbit to track her progress in rehabilitating her ability to walk. When she tried the Charge 5, most of the times the watch vibrated to tell her she hit a daily steps goal, it was while she was sitting down! It was over-counting her steps by 100% or more every day! She went back to using her waist-mounted (and discontinued) Fitbit Zip, because it works so much better for someone who can't walk a lot. If you're not disabled, this is less of an issue, but it does mean your steps will probably be OVER-counted. My bigger gripe is that the Charge 5 connects to its band with fragile plastic spring-loaded clips, and rather than putting those fragile clips on the band (which can be replaced inexpensively), they put it on the device itself! This was an unfortunate design choice, because if you're using the Fitbit Charge 5 to track your physical activity while you're being, you know, PHYSICALLY ACTIVE, and you hit your arm against something, you're likely to break the $150 device and need to replace it! To their credit, Fitbit's customer service and warranty replacement service is excellent. Unfortunately, their warranty replacement might be a refurbished device with a 90-day warranty, and since mine broke in just over 2 months, I don't know if that means I'll lose the majority of my original 1-year warranty, or if they'll still honor that. Now that I know to be more careful, and to take the Fitbit off when engaging in vigorous physical activity that might involve contact with anything or anyone, hopefully I won't need another replacement.
