CHARGE 5 Not Accurate on GPS, HRM. Seller great.
My wife bought another Fitbit and loved it. I'm a bicyclist and was hoping that the FitBit Charge 5 would simplify my tracking of trips via GPS. I'm still mastering all the settings, but not super impressed.
The GPS erred on a bike ride. It reported 48.5 miles while my onboard cyclometer showed 49.8 miles. Heart rate was WAY OFF, an average of 161 BPM, which as a fit 68 year old would probably landed me in the hospital.
I also tried it swimming, my occasional rehab Plan B. Hard to navigate to, but figured it out that need to work on the mobile app, along with onboard settings. Not sure of accuracy and maybe with practice will get easier.
SLEEP and MOVEMENT data are useful, not replaceable.
Otherwise, the Seller was excellent, prompt service and nice price.
