Personally, I don’t care about music control. Right now, it seems that the Heart Rate sensor is not tracking properly. Also, Fitbit is pushing too many users to get a premium subscription to get extra info from data or even worse to use some of the new features. If it was maybe a couple of dollars per month probably I would do it, but honestly, the price is way too high for what it offers.
Fitbit used to be the accessible tracker for everyone and now it’s becoming too premium. Hope for some new brand with the same features for a better price.
Even the clock face choices are too complicated and too artsy!!! and got away from the basics that we stuck with it since Fitbit Charge 1.
But this FitBit is the best and the best.

In reply to Bob.

One significant Problem it can transmit massage only in Latin laters.
No Hebrew or Arabic laters .
In Garmin Vivosmart it’s no problem !

Please bring back the button used on the Charge 2.

The start / stop function is best served with a physical button. Just horrible trying to stop the timer on my Charge 5 after a run using a screen swipe or press.

I had a Charge 5 for a couple weeks. It was to replace my Charge 4. Was it a great upgrade. Not in my mind, plus the thing fell off my wrist. The strap attached to the watch with a complicated system that apparently simply permits the watch to fall off your wrist. Back it went. Back on my wrist went my very reliable Charge 4. I will wait for the Charge 6, which hopefully will have a normal strap that does not fall off easily!

The Charge 5 discontinued flight of stairs tracking. Big disappointment. Hopefully it comes back with the next generation or bring back the 4.

The Internet is full of people dissatisfied with the Sleep Tracking accuracy of the Charge 5. For many, like myself, some days it records your sleep levels and other days it doesn’t. There are even YouTube videos on how to trick the tracker into getting consistent sleep readouts..lol. Seriously? I kid you not. After a few weeks of inconsistent sleep tracking results I sent it right back to Amazon and got my money back..as have so many people.
Hopefully they’ll resolve this major issue with future upgrades to the tracker..but I wouldn’t count on it.

Also, the watch face selection is slim pickings..they treat the charge 5 owners like second class citizens…

Yes the Fitbit is awful and hard to work and manage.
The sensors give the wrong info. I miss the weather ap. and the gps isn’t accurate
Even the clock face choices are too complicated too artsy and got away from the basics that we stuck with it since Fitbit charge 1.
Give us the basics no premium charges and do what your good at and easy to use. I don’t use most of the ads one from the Fitbit charge 5. I want to track my health my heart rate my wellness and my readiness and where I’ve been at what cost to my health and rest I need.
Stop trying to be too clever.

The clock face options are HORRIBLE on the Charge 5. Nothing basic or simple. Every option is very artsy with (my opinion) annoying designs. I want a basic, one screen watch.

Personally, I don’t care about music control also because you can change music with earphones pretty easily but I would focus more on biomedical sensor. Right now, it seems that Hert Rate and GPS sensors are not tracking properly, and that’s a huge issue for a tracker device. Also, Fitbit is pushing too much users to get a premium subscription to get extra info from data or even worst to use some of the new features. If it was maybe a couple of dollars per month probably I would do it, but honestly the price is way to high for what does it offer.
Fitbit used to be the accessible tracker for everyone and now it’s becoming too premium. Hope on some new brand with same features for better price
