Thanks great video. Yeah I think it's worth noting the spotify on charge 4 is pretty pants anyway though since you need your phone anyway (there is no offline download play). I have to say I'd actually rather not have it in the watch rather than the poor implementation that they had before. With most wireless bud headphones you can skip tracks anyway with a touch of your ear, and you will typically select your playlist before putting your phone in your pocket / band anyway so the only piece of functionality that the spotify app actually adds is playlist selection if you want to change mid-run.

How do I stop this. Charge 4 has GPS but it wouldn't run after I finished workout. I'm so confused. Charge 5 screen is great. Still getting used to features. I'm not seeing the upgrade. My charge 4 started falling apart a little withbthe connectors to the band. I've been using crazy glue to keep it together last 4 months. But it worked and the charge 4 still worked great. When I first started charge 4 went 6-7 days on a charge. After 2 years that got reduced to 3 full days on a charge. Charge 5 gives me 1.5 days max. So disappointing and there is no info on how to fix this

Got both of them and I must confess I am wearing back the C4. I am pretty disappointed that they removed the relax app and stairs from the C5. No sense upgrading a device removing features. Sure the five has EDA scan but can't find it useful. Maybe I'm just a simple man, but I know when I'm stressed...I just need a relax help guide on my wrist to calm down, I find it pretty much more useful. Last but not least, those clock faces on C5 are all horrible (IMO). I'll keep preferring the black and white screen unless C5 will have more clock faces and possibly make them more flexible and with the possibility to personalize them according to your own needs.

@@FitnessWithFrost, hey, I apologize for the late reply. My Charge 3 seems dimmer than it was 3 years ago when I bought it and, up until a couple weeks ago, the notifications weren’t coming up on it properly. I actually toggled the notifications on and off in the app a couple weeks ago and so far I’ve been getting them on my Charge 3 every time ever since. I’m fine with not having the GPS on the 3, but it would be nice in some situations. I love the floor counter, and also keeping a close watch of my steps throughout the day. Also, I don’t really need the new premium features included with the Charge 5. So, the biggest knock with my 3 is the brightness at this point. Is the brightness any better with the 4 than it is with the 3? I did buy a Charge 4 just recently, but it’s still unopened as I’m trying to decide which route to go.

The Charge 4 has a very similar screen to the 3 so I don't think you will see a big difference in brightness.

I’m here because in only 4 months, my Charge 4 has worn thin around the buckle on the strap and is about to snap. The band is so stiff! I upgraded to the Charge 4 from a Versa 2 (swam once, it stopped working) and whilst I love the slim design, the hard, plastic case and rigid silicone strap of the C4 has not been a nice experience to wear. Having GPS on for hikes takes battery life from 5 days down to 1 and I haven’t tried it for swimming as too worried it too would break. The Spotify feature is a waste, Fitbit Pay is good but a bit fiddly to unlock. Getting a replacement strap to match is now proving problematic so I may just buy the C5, however, this will be three Fitbits in under 18 months… bad luck or bad designs? 🤷🏻♀️

The issue there arises from the GPS. It has had some issues with some people that if it's too tight it doesn't read. I didn't have that problem. The people that ended with that problem had to loosen up their band and the heart rate became less effective. It definitely is a fault in their design

I’m still rocking my charge 2, this thing won’t die. If it breaks, I might just get another.

Well that's disappointing. I knew they were going to discontinue the Charge 4 when the Charge 5 came out
@TheAlanBlaize2 жыл бұрын
Not worth it, I have the 4 in burgundy and with a belt clip that I keep in my pants pocket so it won't easily come out, I dislike anything on my wrist by the way I miss The One lasts 2 weeks between charges and had all the functions that I needed, I wish they would bring it back, it was plain and simple
@FitnessWithFrost2 жыл бұрын
That's cool you found a good use case that fit yours. I don't think fitbit will bring back anything like that anytime soon because the majority of people see looking for something on their wrists.

I HAVE RETURNED (March 2022) FOR A FULL REFUND MY NEW CHARGE 5 after Fitbit support acknowledged FITBIT has been working on a software fix to issues affecting battery life. NO ETA is know for the fix to the software. DO NOT BUY THIS watch until FITBIT comes clear about the fix to the batteries issues which can reduce the expected life from 5 days to 1 1/2 day. BTW, I went back to using my old Charge 2.

I have heard people talking about this battery issue. I didn't have any problems with my unit, but good to know that Fitbit is aware of it. Sad to hear they don't have a ETA on a fix though

You're so wrong the charge 5 has better GPS then the charge 4. put the Crack pipe down mate. and so who cares if the charge .4 has Spotify you can't do anything with it just flip through songs

No reason to get so hostile. The GPS is great when it works, but sadly there are a lot of people that had problems with the GPS. I need to let people know about that in the review. To say I'm so wrong about the Charge 5 is a bit of a stretch
