Too
The Fitbit Charge HR looks good. It's one of the best designed Fitbit products out there and while it's not as stylish as buying a smartwatch
It looks good on the wrist compared to other trackers
It also does its core job well. Step tracking works and t

The editors didn't like
The plastic display is easily scuffed which impacts its visibility and also just makes it look cheap. The small gaps around the screen that let grime in don't help either
It uses a proprietary charging cable
Which I am almost definitely going to lose
I'm not going to pretend there aren't issues here. It's expensive. It's not the most costly of the Fitbit range but it's at the higher end and it's a shame it costs that little bit extra then the original Charge. I don't see why Fitbit hasn't just replace
Design and fit aren't ideal for glancing at heart rate. Not shower or swim-friendly. OLED display turns off after a few seconds
Which gets annoying. Heart-rate coaching and goal-setting isn't intuitive
Run tracking lacking
Heart rate accuracy issues
Simplistic sleep tracking
The heart
Rate monitor adds little Looking for rigorous accuracy? Look elsewhere Expensive for what you get
Screen too small for smart notifications
Expensive considering the competition
Yet another charger
Inaccurate HR tracking
Odd heavier exercise tracking
Quite expensive
Basic and temperamental sleep tracking
No GPS
Only 1ATM water resistant
Requires weekly charging unlike some competitors
Design is discreet but still chunky
Heart-rate data erratic
Not waterproof
No text notifications
Lacks data analysis
A little itchy to wear on occasion
Setup is a bit fiddly

So you need to head into advanced settings and change it to UK it can scan in barcodes but we found some more popular items like chocolate biscuits weren't listed

The Fitbit Charge HR is a complex device, which will appeal to a surprisingly narrow group of people. If you're a runner, cyclist or swimmer the lack of GPS is a guaranteed dealbreaker. If you're a general user looking for insights into your daily steps...
The Fitbit Charge HR activity tracker wristband offers a lot of real-time fitness stats right there on your wrist, which is an advantage over the rival Jawbone Up24 that doesn't have a display or the altimeter and heart-rate trackers of the Charge HR. The...

Yes. You should. If you want a standalone fitness tracker. This is a really, really good fitness tracker and it's reasonably priced for what it can do. Not only that, it's very accurate, it's super easy to use, and it's not bad-looking, either. Fitbit rea...

Fitbit's Charge HR adds heart-rate tracking to an already solid fitness band at a great price, but all the kinks don't feel fully ironed out yet....

Simple, clean design, Durable build, Companion app is very easy to use, Accurate step tracking, Entry-level price point, 5-day battery life
Display is easily scratched, Heart rate monitoring could be better, Newer trackers on the market for similar price, Not shower/swim friendly, Uses proprietary charging cable
Fitbit's aging Charge HR activity tracker may not be the best value on the market. But with a battery life of 5 days, a sleek and simple design, and accurate step tracking, the Fitbit Charge HR is still a great entry-level activity tracker for the fitness...
