By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

According to an Amazon review I saw under "most helpful negative review": "If you have no plans on paying for the Fitbit Premium subscription then do not buy this as they are very careful not to tell you that half the features of the watch don't work without it. The health metrics dashboard is part of the subscription so without that you don't get SpO2 monitoring, heart rate variability, skin temperature variation, breathing rate during sleep or 14 out of the supposed 20 exercise routines. There is more outside of the withheld features like not being able to turn off GPS (the options are dynamic, using the GPS built into the watch and just your phone), location services, being auto enrolled into some social club, Fitbit selling the data they collect even though it's not a free product (you MUST agree to this in order to set up the watch) and by default having the watch set to send you all sorts of emails but I guess I get upset about that more than other people these days."
Don't enter your credit card info - they WILL charge you for $79.99 and not give you the 6-month free-trial period (which you paid for in the cost of the watch). They assume that if you give your credit card that you want the monthly or yearly subscription. And once you get that, you are automatically ineligible to get the 6 months. It's a total scam!!!
The Charge 5 band disconnected constantly in the 6 months that the battery didn’t fail. Then in month 7, the Charge 5 lost its charge completely in 9 hours or less. This product is absolutely garbage and should not even be sold. When I chatted with customer service, I found this is an issue across the board in addition to the shoddy band. Don’t even bother with this fitness monitor. I have been with Fitbit since they began, and there have been issues with every model I purchased. I only stayed for the informational platform they provided but a 6-month life pushed me right over the edge. I bought a Garmin, now I have no problems at all, and specifically with Fitbit JUNK!
No, they have redesigned the shape so Charge 4 bands are not interchangeable.

What happens when the membership runs out will you still be able to get the numbers or do you have to have the membership

How much is premium membership after the 6 month free-trial period? Do you pay through the app?

Is anybody else having a problem with the band not holding. The top part of the band keeps releasing? I did replace the band.
