Can you add your own food recipe to the charge5?

This is just what I was looking for as a new Fitbit owner. Thank you!

@@FitnessWithFrost Has this fallen off your wrist at all? I keep seeing videos of people saying they almost lost it due to detachedment from watch too easy

[@FitnessWithFrost]

That hasn't happened to me at all. It has the same clasps as the Luxe as well and I didn't have any problems there either

[@jcap8391]

@@FitnessWithFrost Thanks this is going to be my first Fitbit. I recently sold my Garmin Fenix 6 due to how big and heavy it seemed. I don't like the button layout on Garmin watches so annoying. I like everything about this watch so far. Thanks for your response.

I'm pretty sure you will be happy with it. I'm glad I could help and for luck on your fitness journey

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.

[@FitnessWithFrost]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck with your new band I think you will enjoy it

[@casiowatchers7511]

When you get an app notification does the watch vibrate and auto display it, or do you have to go into notifications to check if you have any?

[@FitnessWithFrost]

You can enable any app to notify you with a vibration if needed through the Fitbit app. Hopefully that was helpful

[@casiowatchers7511]

@@FitnessWithFrost That’s helpful and thanks for replying. I just wondered if when you get a text or a messenger message if it displays the message after the vibration.

[@FitnessWithFrost]

You will have to physically trap the screen to reveal the text, but yes it will do it

[@4timesnow318]

I looked at this to find out how to customize exercises on the phone app. I don't see them anywhere on the app.

This is a perfect review , short , sweet too the point !!

[@lucianocaldas8795]

Hello! Is the alarm vibration strong enough to wake you up? How does the vibration strength on this watch compare to other watches? Would really appreciate it if you could answer this one. I'm considering buying it mainly for the accurate sleep tracking and smart alarm function.

[@FitnessWithFrost]

The vibration is strong enough to wake me up no issues. I wouldn't say it had the strongest vibration, but it should be enough to wake you up no problem

[@george6252]

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.

[@FitnessWithFrost]

I'm glad you found something you really enjoy

[@lisaohare7127]

Fitbit charge 5 have capability to pick your own clock face , pictures , which model would have this ? Thanks Kindly for your HELP.

[@FitnessWithFrost]

It does have the ability to do all of that

FINALLY... someone said something about those features.

Appreciate the time stamps and simple explanations. 😁

[@CurtisRamer]

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.

[@josephtucciarone6878]

Thank you for the tips.

[@FitnessWithFrost]

No problem I'm glad I could help

[@GuruChaz]

Changing the clock faces on the Charge 5 can break sleep mode. Is yours tracking sleep automatically and accurately each night? Many people in the official Charge 5 forum are having problems with sleep tracking.

[@FitnessWithFrost]

I didn't have any trouble with mine. I even wore it for almost 2 weeks. That is curious because I have not heard anything about it

[@Jujifrutes]

I can't figure out quick replies, it's only showing the open on phone button and clear button. Can you help please?

[@FitnessWithFrost]

What phone do you have?

[@Jujifrutes]

I asked customer service and they told me that it doesn't work cuz I use a tablet, not a phone

[@FitnessWithFrost]

That makes a bit of sense. Hopefully they helped

[@tiktokcompilations3967]

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]

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?

@@FitnessWithFrost I am just looking for a activity tracker with stairs counter which is why I am thinking to buy the charge 4 ...I am a charge 2 user budget is not that a issue but less than $250 ... I live in india so here fitbit has replacement issues so thinking to buy something reliable and cheap so if it has a defect I can buy once more

[@FitnessWithFrost]

The band on the Charge 4 has been known to not be that reliable sadly. The screen is also a little harder to see. I think you will be happy with either one and much happier than your charge 2.

[@dathyr1]

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]

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

[@dathyr1]

@@FitnessWithFrost Yup I agree. 14 steps is nothing compared to my overall daily count. take care and thanks for your reply

Hey man, i just got my fitbit charge 3 and I'm trying to get it to fully charge, but when it reached 97% it started going down, it's now at 94% What's happening

I bought one, and after wearing it for about a week, I developed contact dermatitis. So to fix this, I purchased a non-silicone band from Amazon, which has been good. However, I have read that many others have experienced the same thing.

[@Daniela-2208]

I’ve had the same issue with all of my galaxy watches. Must be something with the silicone coming from the manufacturers

It is most likely the silicone compound because when I got Maledan, compatible with Fitbit Charge 5 Bands from Amazon and is made from thermoplastic polyurethane. It is breathable, so I have had this band for a year, and no problems like the original Fitbit band.

Totally waste of money. My charge 5's battery completely stopped working and its getting randomly off regularly. Fitbit refused to do anything after warranty period. My device is crossed the warranty period and I am very disappointed with this purchase. People should avoid.

I'm curious why do you say that?

[@carlosmauriciovargasmachad4358]

@@FitnessWithFrost just compare it on a day to day usage agains cheaper options like Mi band 6, honor band 6, huawei band 6, amazfit trex, all of this less than half the price and twice the functions. But the key factor is that for that price you can get Apple Watch Series 3.

A lot of those things at true. Do have to take into account a bigger screen than some of those a GPS and an ECG. I'm not a big fan of the fitbit premium pay wall. Don't forget the apple watch series 3 it's 200 and only really has one day of battery life. To say it's the worst is a bit of hyperbole to say it's the worst
