Fitbit Charge 5 vs Other fitness trackers

Posted 2nd Feb 2023
So many negative reviews around. Is it really that bad?
Any other recommendations?
Garmin?
I’m only interested in the health/fitness side of it.

    Honestly yes. Fitbit in general has been a disappointment as of late. If you want all the features you have to pay a monthly subscription. Not that it's worth it because it's so inaccurate - I Woke up and saw that I had somehow done well over 300 steps despite being asleep in bed! Take an ECG and find a perfectly normal recording is unclassified, and an abnormal one is classed as normal sinus rhythm. Features are generally limited. The charge 5 no longer has music controls while a £30 Honor Band 6 will happily do that and almost everything else the Charge 5 can, all with a significantly longer battery life.

    To me though, having owned an Apple Watch, nothing else even comes close in terms of accuracy and the general feeling of refinement imo.
