Nice and subtle looking
And the screen is generally easy to read
Battery life is very good (almost 6 days)
And step counting and heart rate monitoring were both highly accurate
The web-based interface is nice

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

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
The food database for calories consumed is USbased by default
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
Heart rate sensor offers superior workout accuracy, Automatic sleep tracking, Display grants us access to data directly on the unit, Lots of data & statistics with mobile app
It's still prone to registering phantom steps, Only handles phone call notifications, Not entirely water proof
No doubt, the only thing notably different here is the heart rate sensor tacked onto the Fitbit Charge HR, as its name so happens to imply. With that addition, it receives a higher price point of $149.95, which is a $20 premium over the standard Fitbit Ch...

Continuous, optical heart rate monitor built in. Reasonable price. Slim design. Tracks steps, miles, stairs, calories burned, sleep, heart rate, and exercise activities. Excellent app and website. Compatible with practically every OS. Beautiful and sharp

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

Stellar battery life: 5 to 7 days per charge. Soft band. Easy to use and sync. Highly accurate step and sleep tracking. Welldesigned mobile app with data presented in easytounderstand graphs
Not waterproof. Heartrate tracking not accurate for high heart rates. Pulsetracking LEDs are alarmingly bright at night. Watch clasp grows uncomfortable when worn 24/7. No Apple Health integration, though not a huge knock against the Charge HR since Fitbi
The addition of an all-day heart-rate monitor makes the Fitbit Charge HR the best all-around fitness tracker for the price. Looking to continue its dominance of the fitness tracker market, Fitbit has released a trio of new wristbands. The middl...
