Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness and Activity Tracker with Built-in GPS, Heart Rate, Sleep & Swim Tracking, Black/Black, One Size (S &L Bands Included)

The charge 2 I had died before I got my new one and man, is it an upgrade However, I am fair warning about one thing I didn't know with Spotify you need premium to utilize any of the features, which was a bit disappointing. According to their website, if you use the GPS feature, your Fitbit battery lasts 5 hours. So you have to be diligent about turning GPS on and off when necessary during exercise as opposed to just leaving it on auto to auto recognize which is a little annoying, but not too bad. As for a few features that require background running in order to "work properly" I don't like having anything do that which is why I turned off those permissions but left the others on because my Fitbit still syncs throughout the day and my phone gets data through that method. As I toss and turn at night, I don't accidentally blind him with my watch screen when it goes off, so when I turn off sleep mode and the screen goes black, he won't hear me yell at him.

Sale price is the best. Often errors are made, as they are). It will get a true assessment from me. I don't think it needs to be said that the app is amazing. band has a nice quality to it, but it is a bit bulky thanks to the diamond pattern in the band, and the clasp feels cheap and cumbersome. It remains to be seen if it will break before I pass judgment. But it's hard to feel confident with it.

I like how accurate the watch is, how comfortable it is, and how useful some of the options are. There is a little difficulty pressing the pressure button on the side. It would be nice if the sensitivity could be changed. I like the simplicity of the UI on the app. The only thing is that the other side needs to be stabilized with your thumb, or else it will just slide across your hand when you press it. The UI on the app is also clean and simple. There are many settings and stats that are not necessary for me, and a few that cannot be removed. If you scroll to get to the features you like you'll probably have to scroll more than you would like. If we could at least reorganize this, we'd be better off. If you ordered them, it would be more convenient to navigate. I will end with my final note about battery life. The FitBit claims 7 days of battery life. Today is Thursday at 857 a. m. The time is 41 pm. 70% is where I am right now. After a full charge Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, I took it to the park. 5% of the battery was gone within an hour of taking it off of the charger. If it continues at the present rate, it'll be past the point of death by Sunday, which is closer to four Keeping in mind that it has NOT been exercised as I have charged it fully. The quarantine is underway and I was lazy to go to work. It's hard to imagine a battery that can last longer than 2 hours My review 3 days of moderate to heavy exercise every day. ****** All in all, a very good Other than that, I'm a bit mired in thought. Though I can recommend this watch, I would wait until the sale begins before buying it.

It can be used on the Fitbit To begin with, I would like to point out that the Fitbit app offers unparalleled tracking of sleep, diet, and water. I've tried to stay away from Fitbit due to my propensity for longer runs, but the various features provided within the one app have kept me hooked. It provides the most comprehensive picture of your health you're going to get from wearing ONE fitness monitor inside ONE app. I would like to upgrade to Charge 4, so I will do that Global Positioning System) In regards to the Charge 4, and with the note that *ALL OTHER FEATURES ARE EQUAL IN STANDARD WITH THE CHARGE 3*, the GPS (which is the only major improvement that the Charge 4 has) is certainly a good one. It takes a few seconds for the GPS to connect (maybe 10 to 20), then you touch the screen and you're off. During my first few runs, I wore the Charge 4 and my Garmin to compare the tracking capabilities (my Garmin was a triathlon handwatch, not a fitness tracker, &c This is my most preferred system to use since it has a longer battery life) and the GPS pairs fairly well between both devices. Despite Finding its satellites faster than Garmin, Fitbit seems to add a considerable amount of distance when During my out and back 3 mile runs, I usually hit one corner of the map and the GPS maps indicate this is where the magic happens, but I still hit the 3 mile point around two or three strides ahead of my Garmin during my out and backs. Shorter/daily training runs are apparently no problem for the Charge 4. However, if it is failing to perform any of the following, it is no longer your best choice. As long as you're carrying your phone constantly, then you don't need GPS or 2 either. During your activity, you'll be out for at least two hours. This puts a strain on the battery since GPS expenditure can last for over three hours. If you are running a moderately paced half marathon, you are likely to be using Garmin, Cros, Suunto, etc. In the case of a Special Edition or a To be specific, the Charge 4 Special Edition is only meant to be a special band, which happens to be total crap I suppose the super special band would have looked odd with the unit, wouldn't have lasted very long without being washed or soaked, and felt and looked cheap and plasticky As far as I could tell, it wasn't fully plugged into the unit at the clip-ins and maybe randomly separated as it was tugged on the wrong side. My recommendation, whether or not it was defective (I don't know if mine was faulty)- You can save $20 by investing in the basic Charge 4, and if you want a colored/specialty band, any one marketed for the Charge 3 or 4 will also On my charge 4, I am using the special edition band (white rubber with black clasps) of the Charge 3. Worked like a charm. A Few Out Of The Box Ideas As far as charging or pairing was concerned, as well as the firmware updates to bring it up to date, I had no issues. I also did not experience any black screens of death.


Battery Life Also, the battery is consumed faster when GPS is active, but that is the case for any fitness tracker that is not devoted entirely to There is no way you can have built-in GPS tracking in a unit this size, with all of its fitness features, and expect it to last a full week on a charge. When users use a GPS device for an activity a day and all day per day and per week If you plan on wearing your watch at night or tracking your fitness, you'll likely get 3 to 4 days out of it.

It just has a black screen, so I'm not able to use it. After following all directions, which includes charging it and pairing it with my phone, I was ready to use it. I couldn't see the numbers on the screen as it was pairing, and when my phone decided to complete the set up and asked for a four-digit pin, I was unable to type them in because my screen was black. A reset was attempted by placing the fitbit on a charger, but it did nothing. When pressing the button, a vibration is felt, but it does not do anything else. The work is supposed to be done before tomorrow and it hasn't been done. There is a lot to be disappointed about.
