I do product reviews. Sometimes it’s something silly like a pillow case, and sometimes… I was up for several hours because of the dog. I woke late, and checked my email to see that I was able to receive a free exercise bike. Alas, they were out. I can’t tell you which (not Peloton), but I can tell you that missing out is excruciating!

@Kiki I love my new Charge5!! But I think I have one with battery issues. It was at 100% this morning and is down to 67% now

I charged it back to 100%, guess I'll see what it says in the morning. I really don't want to have to exchange it. Stores are going to be so annoying the next couple of days

Welp, it's down to 70% this morn. Guess it's getting exchanged. Dang it! @muddy75 which one did you just get and do you like it? I still want the Charge 5 but looking into other options too

Thanks! But I did all that already and never had the GPS on. I guess my issue is, why have all the features if you have to turn some off to save the battery? I get the GPS being battery draining but flipping my wrist to see the time should not be killing the battery 30% overnight. Especially when I put it in sleep mode

Do they have customer support that you can call?

I'm sure they do but from all the reading I was doing yesterday, this is a major issue with the Charge 5 and a lot of people just exchanged it. So, I don't know. I really don't want to be stuck on the phone forever, you know how that can go!

I like the Charge 5, so I would return/replace it.

Yeah, I'm going to. We plan on going to a different Best Buy then hubby bought it at. Maybe the other Best Buy got a better batch in?
