Thanks for all your information, great video. I am an avid golfer, walk the courses in the summertime, and assume with selecting the golf exercise option on the Fitbit charge 5, the device can take the normal jarring actions when the club hits the ball or the ground on my swings. i get my Charge 5 tomorrow, first time user, and will enjoy using it and also this summer playing golf.

Can you control your phone's music (Volume/Play/Pause/Skip) with the Charge 5? So if you're running and your phone is secured away, you don't have to dig it out disrupting your run just to skip or repeat a song.

My Charge 5 had screen freeze and connectivity problems. Fitbit put a reset button on the charging cable but it only works temporarily. This watch was rushed to market with bugs. I switched back to Charge 4 many months ago. At least it was reliable. Google buying Fitbit means Fitbits days are numbered. Just bought Apple watch 8 and loving it.

hey ....great video ...I just wanted to ask that many people say that sleep tracking is great but fitbit is not good at calories tracking and apple is better but I actually need a battery life of more than 5 days should I buy a fitbit charge or would you recommend me something???

@FitnessWithFrost 2 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say that Fitbit is bad at calorie tracking and apple is better, but the calories burned will be consistent and you can work off of that. If you are looking for better battery life I would go with Fitbit. Garmin also has some great watches with good battery life, but tend to be a bit bigger. How much are you looking to spend? Are you looking for something smaller or bigger?

One last comment for ya. I know the Fitbit charge 5 does not have an Altimeter and somewhere I read that with steps it does not count going up and down steps. But with my Charge 5 today, mine does count the steps going up and down to my basement. i have 14 steps, and it counted them in the step counter. Whether that is true all the time I dont know. But it seems to count steps for me.

@FitnessWithFrost 2 жыл бұрын

It 100% counts your steps up and down. It uses the accelerometer to count the steps. If you're moving it will count them. But at the end of the day those steps should be a drop in the bucket of your overall steps for the day
