Bright and large screen makes it easy to see all parts of the Charge 2's interface, Customizable user interface lets users focus on the activities they do most oftern, Sleep tracking features and silent alarm are great additions
Lack of built-in GPS and internal storage mean you still need to bring your smartphone on outdoor activities, Heart rate tracking didn't seem overly accurate, Compelling alternatives with more extensive feature sets exists for not a lot more money

It does a great job for a three-axis accelerometer device – much of that is due to the excellent app in the background. You will like the information it provides but on the caveat that you are not an athlete or a runner. This is a fitness band for the mas...
It's hard to find fault with the Fitbit Charge 2. Yes, it doesn't have GPS built in, but aside from that, it has pretty much everything the casual fitness fan could possibly want in a streamlined, attractive package.There were four issues with the origina...
A no-nonsense middle ground between smartwatch and fitness tracker, but even with new additions there's not enough here for fitness freaks...
