What customers say about "Key Specs"
Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Activity Wristband
  • The battery lasts for 4 days of constant usage.
  • The heart rate monitor is nice when I'm looking at how many calories I burned.
  • I love that it has a constant heart rate monitor and calorie count! I have it synced with MyFitnessPal and it works great!
  • Shortish battery life, only lasts a few days
  • The fundamental issue with this device is also that the heart-rate measurement is not accurate.

What customers say about "Details"
Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Activity Wristband
  • The stair tracker is slightly off, but I like being able to see the calorie count, heart rate, clock, and number of steps taken at the touch of a button.
  • I love the way it alerts me when my phone rings when I am busy and would otherwise not hear it. It displays on your wrist who is calling and vibrates
  • Good tracker so far.I like the display on, on flicking/turning the hand feature.
  • It's awesome!!It also has the ability to set silent alarms and it tells you when someone is calling your cell phone!
  • The most value is in the fact that it collects data 24 hours a day, but the LED and the accelerometer are pretty inaccurate
  • Bluetooth is on 24/7 - You cannot switch it off! I bought one and the discovered that there is no way to turn the Bluetooth transmitter off.

What customers say about "Body Metrics"
Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Activity Wristband
  • Got it for my 83 year old dad. His walking distance increased as he is encouraged by the instant feedback of his Fitbit.
  • It tracks your daily water intake, your weight, your hourly activity, your sleep patterns, your distance, calories burned, your active minutes, constant heart rate, your exercise mode, has a stopwatch, and even a relaxation assistant.
  • The addition of the app allows me to track my caloric intake against the calories I've burned all in hopes of shedding a few pounds.
  • I love my Fitbit! It syncs all of my activity, tracts sleep and heart rate! Super easy to use
  • The heart rate, sleep, milage, step counting and
  • Since I own a treadmill and an exercise bike that can measure distance and heart rate more accurately the fitbit is a disappointment.
