  • The Fitbit Charge has a comfortable design and a display for time and step-tracking. It gets call notifications and syncs automatically to a variety of phone platforms
  • The forthcoming Charge HR adds heart-rate tracking and a better clasp for just $20 more; the Fitbit app is well designed but feels a little dated compared to the competition
  • The Fitbit Charge is a fine replacement for the discontinued Fitbit Force, but you're better off waiting for Fitbit's heart-rate-tracking upgrade next year....

  • OLED displays progress, Automatic sleep tracking, Caller ID works
  • Similar to last year, Price unchanged
  • Automatic sleep tracking and Caller ID features make Fitbit Charge worth considering over the Jawbone Up24. This is especially if you're the type of person who wants to see your daily progress on a watch without having to sync to an app. Not much else ha...

  • Abstract:  I have been a Fitbit user for almost a year now. It started with the Fitbit Flex, the simplistic but yet sophisticated Internet-connected pedometer. It is simple really: instead of having a device you have to carry around hanging from your waist, the Fitb...

  • Abstract:  The Fitbit Charge promised to ‘Energise my day' and it did just that. But I'm not completely won over.When I started out with the Charge I was equal parts excited, thinking this little wristband could revolutionise my life, and sceptical, thinking it migh...

  • Stylish, Good performance, Called ID, App has many options
  • Price, Battery life, Not waterproof, No heart rate monitor
  • What we think The Fitbit Charge is an impressive piece of wearable technology, used to track your activity and monitor your sleep. Compatibility with Android, iOS and Windows Phone is a huge positive, as is caller ID, but the price of this fitness trac...

  • The Fitbit Charge is a decent fitness tracker, just like the Fitbit Force on which it's based. Unfortunately the competition has caught up and in some instances surpassed the core feature set that we first saw in 2013 on the Force. The Charge is still wor...

  • Incredibly easy to use, Stylish aesthetic, Durable and flexible strap, Highly legible OLED screen
  • Only 1 ATM water resistance, Clasp could be better
  • My main concerns, regarding the water resistance and the clasp are rather negligible in the scheme of things.This demonstrates how little there is to criticise with the Fitbit Charge. Essentially, it is an exceptional tracker that affords a simple and eff...

  • Automatic sleep tracking, Bright, easy to view display, Improved battery life
  • Limited smartwatch features, Lacks inactivity vibration alerts
  • The Fitbit Charge is a solid, if not groundbreaking successor to the Flex that should stick to health and fitness and leave the smartwatch features to the smartwatches....

  • The Fitbit Charge 2 is a worthy upgrade to the extremely popular Charge HR. It will appeal to both the casual get-fit user and the more serious fitness freaks, although runners might prefer a tracker with built-in GPS. Users will love the larger display a...
