And step counting and heart rate monitoring were both highly accurate
The web-based interface is nice
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

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

Lacks data analysis
A little itchy to wear on occasion

Great app and ecosystem, Compatible with all three major smartphone platforms, Easy to setup and use,
Not waterproof, Bulky, Scuffs easily,
At AUD$200, the Fitbit Charge HR is just AUD$50 more than its simpler sibling, the Fitbit Charge. If you're after a wrist-worn tracker, the Charge HR is definitely worth the premium. If you just want to know your step count and don't care about sleep tra...
Simple to use, Great-looking, Excellent battery life
Easily scuffed, Phone notifications could be better, Not waterproof
