My wife’s Fitbit Charge 4 has been dying for a while, to the point where the display is barely visible. She ordered an upgrade/replacement - a Fitbit Charge 5. And immediately sent it back, because Google opted to add a crap-ton of new “features” but removed the altimeter (for floors climbed) because the new stuff left no room for it.
So now she’s probably going to switch to an Apple Watch SE.

Smooth move, Google!

Today, i have upgraded from the to the

My new version just works, and has much better life

The 5 may have added a couple of interesting features (ECG) and taken some away (a decent strap, onboard music), but battery life was the major reason i went back the Charge4

The 5 strap is a weird new design, but more significantly, both me and the person who used it before me got chemical burns from the original (thanks to Aliexpress, replacing was easy)
