Abstract: Fitbit's run has been an impressive one. Hard to believe, really, that the company only started life nine or so years back. In under a decade, it's become a household name, synonymous with an entire space, even as nearly every hardware manufacturer large...

Fitbit has various different offerings aside from the Charge — they have the Charge HR which helps monitor your heart rate for $149; they have the Fitbit Surge which is comparable to the Microsoft Band in terms of features and costs $249; and they have th...

Pricing in at $129.95, the Fitbit Charge is priced similarly to the competitors. You're paying a little extra for the display, which really makes the device worth it. Having a fitness device is a pretty eye-opening experience. It makes you re-consider...
Abstract: The Charge irritated my wrist so much that I scratched at it throughout the entire week and a half that I wore it. As a result, I developed a mild, unsightly rash. Although the whole thing was too minor to see a dermatologist, it most definitely made me n...
