FitBit Charge HR Review
Video taken from the channel: Laptop
FitBit Charge looks great, silent alarm, bright display, accurate, double tap for important information. You don’t notice it’s on your wrist which is one of my main prerequisites for fitness trackers. One feature I think is pretty cool is the goal achievement silent alarm.
So let’s say you want to walk 10k steps per day.The Fitbit Charge 2 does nothing right. It fails miserably even as a basic, simple heartrate monitor and does nothing else well. First, as a heartrate monitor, it’s ridiculously inaccurate. I wore it doing hill repeats on my bike and manually measured my heartrate after the first climb at 162.
I wish I could give the Fitbit Charge 2 a great review, but I just can’t. I will say that the battery is great though! 6 full days before needing a charge.
I also like the scrolling texts and heartrate features, which worked well. However, it doesn’t keep track of steps the way it should.Fitbit Charge 2™ is the all-new heart rate and fitness wristband built for all-day, workouts and beyond.

Hi I just bought a Fitbit charge 2 and I’m not sure why the calories are already calculated everyday this week and the week after. It says “calories burned” I’ve done a ton of research and everyone says the same thing that it’s just “breathing, being alive etc…. my question is will it calculate the calories I burn when I’m actually running or just walking? If not I think I’ll return it because the reason I wanted a Fitbit is so that it tells me how many calories I burn while I’m working out like the treadmill does. But If it does how do I check it? Your watch showed a graph and 300 something calories that you burned. Thanks so much
I know I bought a REAL Fitbit charge. Ur saying that it will last up to six days within constant checking. MY Fitbit last max a day and a half. I don’t get it…
Dgthfc vino vvv jbubn ibihehb. Kbshe.he
Do I have to walk/run/steps in order to know how many calories I burn or can I other work out and still calculate calories burned?
Hi!
I’m torn between the fitbit charge 2 and the Polar a370.
The charge 2 seems to be really good, I really like their app layout and the fact that you can get a lot of different information on your sleep quality (REM sleep duration for example), but the fact that it’s not waterproof is a bit of a dealbreaker (like you have to take it off when you shower at the gym, 100% chance I’m going to forget it there…), so I thought about the a370 which seems to be in the same league.
I know polar updated their a360 to the a370 by adding continous hear rate measures, but I think I’ve seen somewhere that it was only once every 5 minutes? (when not exercising). Somehow this seems to be a low frequency if we were to want accurate graphs of our heart rate?
Also, I’m not sure about the Polar app, is it any good? And the fact that Polar could have just rolled out a firmware update on all of their a360s instead of selling a new a370 full price is a bit of a downer:( (yay to planned obsolescence!)
Anyway it would be really cool if you could help me, which one do you think is best?
Considering upgrading from a Charge 2 to a Charge 3 but saw that there were a TON of problems with it stopping working, sync issues, and battery life. A year later, are you having any of these problems?
How can I add 9 0r 18 holes of golf,plus Silver sneakers class?
I just got one but it keeps reading my steps while Im driving.
get fitbits
https://www.amazon.in/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=03106-21&keywords=fitbit&index=aps&camp=3638&creative=24630&linkCode=xm2&linkId=a293bcd2307f24802da7595c84679db4
does it count how much weight you lost? or do you have to put that data on your phone
try this, if you rub your stomach, fitbit will count steps, how accurate is that?
Fitbit HR SUCKS. It does not register your heart rate when doing cardio and it counts steps while you sleep. It does not always count the stairs and calorie burn does not always register. I rode the exercise bike for 5 minutes, the HR says -♥ and calories I burned were 1. Polar heart rate is more accurate.
If you go to swim or taking a shower with it it get slower trust me
I hope you get alot more Subscribe your review is on point keep it up
Found a little cheat. If you play the guitar it counts the strumming the guitar as steps.
How about sensing the activity you are doing?
Garmin Hr plus or Fitbit charge HR? I’m a badminton player help me to choose
Hey Riz. I want to know if the phone needs to be carried with the phone for every workout to know the calories burnt and distance covered? Or only if We want to the route on which we have walked/jogged?
hi. are you sure its waterproof. some people say it is and some say it isnt so im scared to put to the water
Enjoyed your video. MY watch does not display the date, how did you get yours to display the date?
Hi. Can you recommend a basic easy to use Fitbit for senior citizens? They don’t have a smartphone. They just want to be able to track steps and heart rate. Without having to be tech savvy. Thanks.
Great review Tom.
I especially appreciated the production quality, very professional.
Thank you for the info!
do not buy one of these, when they get ready to shut you down they will, mine will no longer sync,they want me to upgrade it is a waste of money.
I just bought the Charge, in the FitBit App it says i can give it a greeting, yet when I save it it goes back to blank.
Any ideas? I can not find anything..
I currently have the old Fitbit hr which I have had for about 2 years. It’s on it way out now as the connection between the screen and band has spilt. I’m looking into buying a new fitness/smart watch but I would like one that I can send & receive text messages. What would you recommend?
will this calculate how many calories I burned on something that doesn’t involve walking? like if I am lifting? will this record the cal burned?
Thanks for the review! I came here to find out what in the world the Special Edition entailed ♀️
I see now it has to do with the extra straps.
I’m ordering one today and was wondering if the “Special Edition” was going to be worth the $20 extra.
I got a Fitbit charge today but the time is wrong on it. I know you need to change the time zone but it is so confusing on the app. Which time zone do I click if I live in Florida (United states). It is set on New York right now.
I currently have an Iwatch; how would you compare it to the Fitbit?
Hi. Nice review. I just got it and it’s amazing. Can i know what camera you used to record this and what pc or laptop you used. Thanks
really like the charge hr but not very happy with the quality have only had mine since september 2016 and todays date is 13 january 2017 and band is coming apart from screen. daughter bought one too and hers done the same thing so not really happy with this product
Any recommendations on how to track tennis? I am a tennis player and want to track long practices I am a new fit bit user and still figuring out everything!
This bloke has large tits, fattened and flabby. This fitness video might defeats it’s purpose. Poor choice to promote such health products like Fitbit.
Would this work for baseball? And is it better than the Nike Fuelband?
Nice job… I have added this to my workout… The food log in helps to keep track of weight loss
Great review, but I do have a request…is there a review regarding the call notification setup/function? For the life of me, I can’t get this function to work with my andriod HTC One M9.
First time on your chanel and I when I saw you I thought that u were virat kohli
do you have to carry your phone on you aswell as the fitbit?
hey man good informative review! I just subscribed to your channel but where is the follow up video, or have you done one yet? I just got this Charge 3 for christmas, the special addition. This is my first ever fitbit, I normally go with Samsung since I carry a Note 8. How are you getting 8 days of battery life? I’m lucky if I get 5…
can the time display stay on all the time or must i click the button/ tab the watch everytime i wanna see the time?
YOUR BAND WILL NOT LAST THE YEAR AND THE REPLACEMENT THEY SEND WILL NOT LAST 6 MONTHS MY ADVICE FONT BUY ONE
Thanks for this review!! Unlike the more popular reviews of this device, you actually provided insight on the day-to-day usage of the device, and went very far in-depth on what it is like to live with the device.
I wonder if it tracks your cycling. That’s what I’m going to start doing as I get this band.
I saw that on your screen the LED lights are white mine are blue. is it just the screen on my computer?
I am getting the Charge HR from a third party seller and was wondering if you could post a video on fake vs real HR’s? I am hoping that it is real since it is refurbished. Thank you! I love the video!
Hi! Just got this and am still working on it. I want to change the display. At 5:14 I see there are several to choose from, and found the one I like (it has the heart rate on the home screen). However, I cannot seem to uncheck the ones I do not want in order to have the one I do like (with the heart rate). Any suggestions? Thanks
+Jim Thank you. I was gifted this and searching for reliable info. Now I got. Thanks once again.
Whats the difference with the advance and the one that came out early 2015?
Does Fitbit charge count footsteps automatically or do u have to press the button?
How I can charge it? Do I can use just my USB cable or I need Wireless Sync dongle?
I recently received my fitbit as a gift and wasn’t too sure if the information that it was providing was accurate but after seeing this review, I am thrilled to have it and am looking forward to using it. I really appreciate this review. It was extremely helpful and encouraging.
I’m part of the beta, and I do think they’re using the spo2 sensors with us because they explicitly tell us, in the beta information, that they’re measuring our breathing disturbances. But when we’re using the relax app, Fitbit also measures our breathing in a way, so maybe this is a different iteration of that same tactic? Hopefully not.
Which is better when it comes to accuracy of counting steps and calories? Apple Watch or Fitbit charge?
Ok, I got this fit bit kit as gift… i need some help how to use it actually. downloaded fit bit apps in my smart phone. i set-up my account,… said yes to turn on blue tooth, i connected fit bit device with Pc for charging it, and then?
Your video is one of the best on Youtube quick fluent you don’t play around they’re lucky to have you sir.
missing heart rate in this model I see is there a model they carry with heart rate I really like the design because I hate the felling of a watch or anything on my wrist?
Hi
I’m confused between Fitbit charge 2 & Garmin vivo smart HR+
I’m mainly looking to track my gym excerises (strength,CrossFit & weights)
Please suggest me the best one for my purpose
can i use this without a phone? and what do i have to do to supplement? may be computer?
On my app it only allows me to track gps with running, walking and hiking. Which option did you choose while biking? I tried setting my Fitbit to bike yesterday from the device itself and it didn’t track miles, speed or mph
this one you had is size S right? may i ask how tall are you? i just need to figure what size i should get for my boyfriend
Great review. Makes me feel even better about my purchase. Thanks!
Thank so much of this video. It’s been month since I used my Charge 2 and now that it’s getting warm again I want to start setting goals. I had forgotten all the features available until I saw this video. Thanks again.
Thanks for the in depth review.
I am planning to buy one.
I want to know how accurate is the pedometer?
click the link for more info

Very good quality. But worthless. Without proper tracking of the blood pressure, timer schedule, and notifications for all messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram and other there is no usefulness of such a device.
Did your Fitbit charge stay connected to Bluetooth constantly?
Jim did not v=cover anything on the Surge regarding music control….
I love my Charge 2 and have had it for almost 2 years now. However I am on my 4th band because it keeps breaking right where it saddles the main part of the watch. This last replacement band that I got which is not from Fitbit seems to be doing better. I also no longer take it off to clean as Fitbit recommends. One other small complaint is that when you are using the exercise modes you can’t use more than one at a time. For example if I am doing spinning, you can not use interval at the same time or vise versa. Just a bit of information that they do not make clear.
Some of the comments on battery life. I saw a tip early on to just put it on charge when you are showering. I have never had it run down since I started doing that. It gets charged for about 30 minutes each day and it is just fine. No problems…
Thank you for the great review & very informative video.
@Karolina Janczy yes, I had a horrible time getting the Charge HR to sync with my LG G2 Android phone. I was on the Chat support and phone support all day long, to no avail. They finally told me that a few of their users had problems with the syncing and that there was a Beta app out that you could try. Also, on fitbit’s website, under “devices that fitbit works with” there is a list of phones and operating systems with “Known Syncing Issues.” I FINALLY got my LG G2 to connect to the Charge when my phone was fully charged and I rebooted both devices a million times. Good luck to you!
So if your just touching through your phone getting calls and texting it sync right away?
Hai how does it reminder work eg if it wants to remind you to walk or drink water as you recorded???
Not sure if I heard this or not, but does the Fitbit charge autotrack sleep?
I love Canadians. He just seems like a nice dude, even when he says “that sucks” about certain features.
Does anyone else have a problem trying to sync this device to your mobile? I have the HTC One (M7) and I’ve literally tried everything (even got another replacement fitbit) also tried all the tips on the site but it just doesn’t seem to work, works just fine with my PC though…
Please please recommend what’s a good device for kickboxing I’m afraid this might break
What’s the difference with the special edition and the normal one
Hey Jim! this is such a great review and you convinced me to buy this haha and so far im loving it! i got a question though. once im done with the exercise mode, can i see the stats for the exercise separately?
My anti theft locking device keeps locking not allowing me to start my car..it has something to do with the fast pass..thinks I’m stealing my car..anyone else having problems with their car?
Do you have to have your phone on and with you for it to work? For example, I want to get one of these to track my activity while I’m at work but we are not allowed to have our phones on us so then would that make the band useless or would everything just show up when I turn my phone back on?
I need to know why does calories show over the top.
Its impossible that u burn 2500 calories while sitting at home.
When you have the alarm set can you lock, close down the app or even turn your phone off or does it have to be on the app or switched on?
My fitbit charge 2 says I’m burning like 3000 calories without even working out is anyone else having the same problem as I’m going to return it if this keeps happening
I can’t wear a watch at work can I put it in my pocket or on my bra strap? Will it still count the calories and steps? I would like to get it especially for swimming and working out but it would be a nonsense when I don’t use it
How do you get that good battery life? Mine dies after about 3 days. How many times do you sync it everyday? Usually if I go to sleep with a full battery it is down to have by morning.
Amy mom is going to give me her Fitbit charge hr when she gets a Fitbit charge 2
To check time simply rotate the watch/arm like you would when checking the time on a standard watch, the time then automatically appears without you touching it.
How do you not carry your wallet all the time? Do you actually pull your license out and put it in your pocket? Or do you just risk driving around without your license on you?
Hi,Techy Agent,are you interested in trying some band replacements and band cover for the Fitbit Charge 2?
I got mine on sale not on amazon or eBay from a store for $15 I promise it is brand new

I just got mine and I am so in love it is going to motivate me so much to get my fitness into check. Also a great review:)
I didn’t even realize there was a stop watch feature until now. Thanks!
I like my Fitbit Charge. The call notification is nice. Wish they had a text message notification too. I don’t necessarily need to see the text. It could just say, “Text message.” Then, I know to go to my phone and look at my messages. Hope they incorporate it later…
When I manually log an activity in the app it will lower my steps taken and requires me to specify how many miles I go instead of just logging that I did this activity and knowing in that time span I went the amount of distance it logged (weird). This may be a feature I just don’t use unless someone can tell me why and what the deal is? I am guessing the mileage most of the time.
The rest I like a lot with the food and water log, the clock works on motion as well (just be over dramatic when you check the time).
Roses are red violets are blue I think I’ve deleted system 32
Hi. I think I’ll order one. Did you try interval training mode? Does it vibrate after each interval ends?
Hey I have a question. I am interested in purchasing the Fitbit Charge and my question is if i buy through your link does it still come with the 1 year warranty or is the warranty only offered on the Fitbit website? Amazing review videos by the way, I’ve watched a lot before making my final decision.
Can you change / alter the size of the displayed numbers such as time and distance walked?
I think buying tue charge 2 and charge 3 are great just that they are somewhat overproced in my country
Does it count calories accurately? It tracks my steps to be 2400 and shows 800 calories burnt! Not sure if it is correct! Help!
any experience with the fitbit during something like spin class? I’m concerned it won’t register since you’re not moving distance like you wold if you were on a regular bike.
+ Yuval E. Sometimes we need to adjust until it is proven as it is Just.
Did you know if you get all your goals a little game comes up like flappy bird. It’s called fitbit flight
how do you track steps when ur on a stepper machine? do you hit the timer only? how does it know if I’m walking versus taking steps? thanks nice review
Guys please, take it from me, I have been a PE teacher for 15 years, I run, i mountain bike, I lift weights and this thing is pure GARBAGE for tracking pulse during these activities. If you are serious about accurately monitoring your pulse during proper training sessions then DO NOT USE FITBITS. Stick with Polar chest technology as it is FAR superior. I for one was seduced by the prospect of being able to monitor heart rate while training without the use of a chest strap but the readings on this thing are so far off the mark I am now left with an expensive wrist band that is good at telling me my pulse when I am asleep or lightly active and what is the point in that?
What should i buy for weight and for walk? fitbit charge 2 or garmin vivosmart hr plus? Which one is more accurate for that sports? THANKS! good review man
I have a Fitbit charge 2 and it has made me feel better about myself because it has fitness on it and it helps me a lot.
Awesome video! Just ordered mine and I am even more excited!!
I know you do reviews but it would be awesome if you could do a tutorial on how to make your fitbit show your caller id. I’m having trouble finding one on youtube.
Question, I am going to buy this I just wanted to know, do I HAVE TO get calendar call and text messages on my fitbit charge 2, or can I just disable those.
Nice review! You got all the basis, including the things the band is missing! Nice to see this from a smaller channel! I’m subscribing to see how you grow on the reviews! And let us know about a follow up on the product after a while!!
hey! does this track calories burned for individual exercises? like squats or crunches?? my cousin has the samsung gearfit 2 so I’m just wondering which one is better to buy
i was thinking the fitbit charge 2
Do you find the sport band stops your wrist from ‘sweating’? With the regular band I feel like my wrist feels wet even just during regular wear, I’m always adjusting the watch because of this feeling. Just wondering if the perforated band helps with this?
Can we restart the data everyday so that you see on the watch the calories burned, distances and footsteps in ONE day? Because from what I can see, it seems like all the data adds up.
When u say calories burned might be off meaning u might have burn more or might have burn less hope u see this
Great review, looking to buy a fit bit, either charge or charge HR. You said there was only a $20 difference between the two and I was looking online but can’t seem to find a price, would you mind telling me the prices of the two?
never owned a fitbit.. debating getting this one vs pre ordering the Charge 3
Hi, I really can’t decide between fitbit charge or garmin vivosmart. If you were to choose which would it be? Thanks
Hey Riz!!
I checked lots of your videos and they are really helpful. I want to share my concern regarding my Fitbit surge which stuck on boot screen for hours and then don’t sync with my phone I am using this tracker for past 3 years and WAS very satisfied. Fitbit customer support is of no help and just going in circles. I’m now planning to buy charge 2 or would you recommend something else? I’m basically into indoor workout and mostly cardio. Please suggest
Thank you so much for your help. Your video really made me make up my mind. I was doing alot of resurch on alot of other fit trackers. I really liked the fitbit flex too because it was alot thinner. Im a teenager and thin is kind of a big deal for me, but the Charge seems to have everything i need. Does it scuff? Can you wear it in the shower? Can you change out the bands like with the Flex? Hope you can help me answer my questions. Thanks so much. Whinie
Wait… I didn’t think that it had GPS but it says so in the video.
$149 are you kidding me I brought one off eBay for $90 for my sis never would pay full price for this
Great review. been trying to get back into shape/gym and you answered a lot of questions I had in mind. especially the ones when it came to weight training calories burned and heart rate monitoring. keep up the good work
Just letting you know the pinkish strap of the other special edition also comes with 3 more straps including the black woven one
hello Techy agent!!
im trying to choose between charge 2 and garmin vivo smart hr+.
i do like the garmin features much more,but issue is i’m into crossfit and it seems garmin is not much into indoor sports and gym.
will the garmin do the job for crossfit training??
thnks indeed
Bought this recently and just realised that Spotify doesn’t work great and I need my phone for music so built in GPS is useless
Because of my age and fitness level, I got up from the couch and got double the credits.
Your review is the best one out of all the ones that I’ve seen so far. Really good job man!
Great review thank you very much. Just got my charge and you made it easy to setup and use.
If this turns out like the charge 3 it won’t be worth buying until 3 years later
Question,it doesn’t tell you distance traveled but when you sync it with the app does the app convert the steps into distance for you.
this really helps even though I have a provata Fitbit but it still helps
He said it would be the best for 2 years. 2 years later the charge 3 came out
2:06 This reminds me of Dua Lipas Don’t start now music video
just letting u know u can change the pattern of time and steps that stuff u can change which one comes first
I just used mine during my crossfit training and it didnt register my workout as an excersice. It just counted the total calories and I want to see the actual graph you showed in the beginning witht the zones.. the fitbit flex was able to track my exercise but the calorie count was poor which is why I purchased the charge2 but its not identifying my exercise as an exercise. need help!!
this is not compatible with my Huwai lite phone, will it sync with my laptop to see the data collected?
I’m confused between this, the Vivosmart 3, the Vivosport, and the Alta HR.
I don’t need it for exercise tracking. I need it for step, sleep, and continuous heart rate tracking. I’m gonna wear it on my right hand, with a regular watch on my left hand.
So which one should I go for?
Stairs climbed (Floors) is extremely inaccurate in the special edition Charge 3.
Hey, @JimsReviewRoom, how would you compare this to the jawbone up 24, which one should I go for, and why?
Thanks in advance!
that’s weird because I have the charge 2 and also i have swim and shower with it and everything and I haven’t had any problems with it
i saw this crap coming last month,they keep wanting you to spend more money on a newer version,i paid good money for this piece of crap,warning,they are crooks and will screw you in the long run,beware.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought the charger was a bit awkward. But it’s super easy to use and pretty fast, so, awesome.
for me, the big thing was getting the sleep info. I really needed it and I’m glad I got it. I like the other stuff, motivating me to do more each day if I can, the sleep tracker will always be my fav part of it
Thank you for this video and for actually working out and showing how it actually tracks distance and heart rates.
I’m having a super hard time deciding between the Charge and Flex. I do like that the Flex is cheap and more water resistant as well as the band is separable from the machine, but it’s pedometer is a bit inaccurate (assumed from multiple reviews). I like how the Charge has a screen, auto sleep detection, but it doesn’t have a separable machine from band, and isn’t as water resistant. I like the Charge a bit better overall, but my pocketbook would be hurting. For somebody who walks about 7 miles a day, bikes about 2 miles a day, and works out about three times a week, doesn’t have a smart phone or iPod, and already has a watch (the watch aspect on the Charge is meh in my opinion), would you recommend the Flex or Charge?
Great review. Exactly what I was looking for in a review before buying a product. BTW how much where you benching in the review?
a strong point that caught my attention was the delay in heart rate readings, is the data accurate after the workout has been completed? so will the fitbit app show accurate calories burned, heart rate etc despite the delay?
I have bought a fitbit charge 2 three months ago. It works almost well, except for synchronization, which is often a nightmare. In fact it is a nightmare because the synchronization is made with the cloud and not with the phone. That’s why some people can waste days and days to synchronize and have gone on false solution like reinstalling everything, etc. Unfortunately the tests always omit this problem, very painful, which does not manifest itself with the use. Has anyone tried samsung gear fit 2?
Hey, great review. I’ve one already. I just want to know if you have paused the clock between your sets.
bought mine for $ 69. yeppy…. Go to chinese manufacturer website and they will give it to you without third party taking all the money.
What should I go for gym and jogging? Fitbit charge 2 or Samsung Gear fit 2??
I can’t run, but I would like to start walking more..would something like this help me?
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on Garmin Vivoactive 3
Techy Agent, i hope u would read this comment coz i really some help, I am looking for an equipment to track my heart bit rate during exercise, coz i would like to burn some fat by maintaining my HB at a certain level.
Thus, I am looking for an equipment that would ‘warn’ me while I am below my targeted HB, lets say 100.
I knew that Jabra had one earphone serve this purpose. But any wristband serve this purpose? or only chest strap? adding that you mentioned the 20 sec delay at Fitbit charge 2…. so…. I am confused, any recommendations??
B.R. truly
I bought the fitbit charge as a gift for someone and we set it up but he only wants to see calories burned, step taken etc. We need to know how to set it up that it starts with zero calories first thing in the morning and then shows the total at days end. This is of course if he does not wear it at night. it show 829 now without being used.
Fitbit doesn’t recommend showering with this on. My girl got hers wet and it screwed it up.
From Fitbit’s website: “Water Resistance Charge has been tested up to 1 ATM meaning it is sweat, rain and splash proof. However, the device is not swim proof. We also recommend taking Charge off before showering because, as with any wearable device, it’s best for your skin if the band stays dry and clean.”
en la aplicacion, pongo confirmar vinculacion y carga, y no pasa mas nada
I don’t really like this review because I feel like he really just does not like the charge 3. So he made it sound worse then it really is. If you want the Fitbit charge 3 go and buy it. It is wonderful. If I rated it out of 10. 10 being good and 1 being bad I would give it a 8/10. I highly recommend the Fitbit charge 3. Just to let you know!
Great review, I have been using the fitbit for a week know and really enjoy it. I do find that I have insure I take it off during times other wise it thinks I did more steps then I really did. Thanks for the review great channel.
You seemed to have glossed over the stated battery life from Fitbit. Although they claim a 7 day battery life it reduces to only 4-5 hours when GPS is in use so for long hikes and exercise it could be an issue. For most use this isn’t a problem other than having to charge it more frequently. One of the best features of the Fitbit charge 3 was the long battery life so this change is worth mentioning.
Silly that I can’t add water consumption on the device, so I don’t bother. And even on the iPhone app it has 8 ounce, 16 ounce and 24 ounce, but mostly I drink in 12 ounce increments. It seems like it would be very easy to add these features.
I love the HR Charge Fitbit! I have lost 7 pounds since using it for a little over a week! Great motivator and it is comfortable to wear. (Although, the first 3-4 days felt like it was just bugging me on my wrist, but if you continue to wear it, no problem!)
Hi! Which one would you recommend for weight lifting at the gym: FITBIT CHARGE 2 or VIVOSMART HR.
Thanks!
You told us what it does and not do understand how it actually work in step. I want to know do know how to read each step on the Fitbit watch.
It is a product that does not work and the company deceives buyers, I buy one in the shop bestbuy, and after six months fail unexpectedly fitbit company and stole my money and I did not replenish the product does not buy this bracelet fails and does not help fitbit
Ok here is the thing. I received this Fitbit for my birthday Saturday night, after all day I did nothing but sitting on my couch, I started jerking off to some Porn. Suddenly, I feel a vibration on my hand “Congratulations!! you have reached your goal of 10,000 steps!!”.
Conclusion From Fitbit point of view, if you are a couch-er who loves porn you are the healthiest person there is.
does the delay in optical heart rate sensor for fitbit charge2 actually affects the overall calories burned? i’ve seen elsewhere saying that fitbit over calculates calories burned.

Thanks for your review. I got a free Fitbit Flex from Microsoft with my Lumia 950, and I may just “upgrade” to a Fitbit Charge since I like the Flex, and intend on trying to become fit this year. Thanks again!
how strong is it and will it break when we fall down a bit hard plz answer this..?
OH MY GOSH that was so so amazing than kyou for sharing that now i know all about my Fitbit charge two so thank you so so much
Your review and others were not very impressed with the heart rate monitoring of the Charge HR or Surge. I do like that the charge HR has an actual watch-like buckle, so that may be worth the extra $20 even if the HR function isn’t that great.
Note that while the Fitbit app is made for iOS, Android, and Windows phone, it can be ported to a Blackberry running OS10. I have already done this for my Flex.
okay so I just got this fitbit for Christmas and I haven’t actually walked or anything sense wearing it because, I was getting the app set up and working on something on my computer but its saying ive walked steps even though I haven’t, my question is, anyone else having this issue and is there a way to stop it from doing this!?
My husband has the Fitbit charge 2. He doesn’t wear it and gave it to me. How do I sync it in my phone with me and how do I change the time and date?
Very well tested and explained in details. Big Kudos man.
nice review!! an actual review!! i hate those other unboxing, feature reviews only.
Can you go over wrist placement. And does it differ from everyday wear to exercise usage?
pos, don’t waste your money.. daughter bought one for wife. just a total pos
Your review sold me! Thank you!!!! I was debating to either purchase the Fitbit Charge 2 or The Garmin Vivosmart but seeing that you mention the app isn’t as good on the Garmin I am buying the Fitbit Charge 2!!! Again thank you for the review!
I think the review is quite accurate but you forgot to mention two things.
1. When the screen is off, if you rotate your wrist to look at the hours you don’t need to press the side button, it will automatically recognize the movement and turn on the screen.
2. Same happens if you touch the screen twice you can choose what to display: hours, steps, calories, HR…
hmm, general review but no real detail until about 6 minutes in and doesnt tell you how to work it
Have you tested the Fitbit Charge HR yet? Is it at least as accurate as the Surge is while tracking heart rate? I have the Basis Peak and considering moving to the Charge HR or Surge. Any suggestions or insights?
I’ve been lounging around the house all day wearing my fitbit charge 2 and it’s telling me I’ve walked over a mile…seems very wrong. Also I noticed that it’s been logging steps when I move my arms while sedentary.
HOw do yo uset the Charge 2 up for cycling? I normally use Runkeeper which uses GPS. I can’t find a video for that.
dude awesome reviewseriously one of the best reviews. Outside of the review do you actually use the different “workouts” feature while doing crossfit. When I work out I dont start one of the “workouts” as I never remember and I already know that I’m doing crossfit 5 days a week. Does this question make sense?
+JimsReviewRoom thank you so so so much for your amazingly high quality reviewing because of your review i will getting one today, hope that your channel grow bigger and bigger because of your high quality content keep up the good work jim ☺
Gear fit 2 or fit bit charge 2 which is best sir need for fitness
My fit bit charge wont let me cycle through my stats by pushing the side button. Does anyone know how to fix this?
My mom order it already to give it to my cousin and my cousin brother
Thanks, I’m getting one of these in a few days and just checking out some of its features.
Dear suppose holding smart pared phone during exercise time, or just working and saving data with out phone connecting?
Great video! Very Informative! Watching your videos helped me narrow my choice to the Samsung or Charge 2…any further info you can share?
Do you guys think i should get a Samsung smart watch. Im nuts right. I saw it at target. Let me know in the comments and how to set it up would be nice im thinking of getting it for my dad or just get him the versa 1 or 2. Take care. I would buy a Samsung for myself but im not sure how much they cost. Im just going to get my dad a fitbit versa 2. Or. The charge 4 im going to get it for father’s day or his birthday September 1. Let me know
Hey. which one do you recommend for continous HR monitoring? I need to check my HR while doing various exercises and i dont want to stay and change exercises on my eatch continuously.
Hi Techy Agent,
I am really in doubt whether i should get the Charge 2 or not. I am in the gym for pretty much every day for at least 2 hours for the last year and a half now, and i want to get some better tracking besides my phone, but i hear mixed opinion about the accuracy about this band. So in short, should i get it or not?
Money doesn’t shows you if a product is good, Apple is the perfect example!
I’m like 11 and Idk what to do with my Fitbit charge 2 I just told my parents to buy it for me.
I currently have the vivoactive HR but I’m thinking of trading it on for the charge 2. I’m looking for a fitness tracker for losing weight and a daily tracker. Do you think I should trade it in because it is a lot cheaper
does it give you steps for cycling or the mode is more for distance?
thanks for ur reply yest, will take a look at the garmin nd arm band as well. dont realy like wearing the chest strap find them uncomfortable. never taught of a arm band do. cheers
been looking for a fitness tracker for a while now. need something that covers weights crossfit nd running. thinking about the Microsoft band 2, watched ur review there said the gps was creap on it do. any other tracker u would recommend thats works well all round or should I just go for the Microsoft band
This was a great review thank youuu for being genuine and honest this was very helpful and I agree with everything you spoke of, so true!
God bless keep up the videos.
Great review. I still haven’t decided if I like the white band or not. You’re right about it seeming a bit too flashy. One thing I noticed about the step tracking is that it uses an altimeter, which measures altitude therefore I noticed when driving it add steps as u go up and down hills
hi! i watched your video and others people´s reviews on this fitbit and i made the decision to purchase it!
i workout 6 days a week for about and hour and do cardio plus weight training,
i noticed that when i do weight training the step count increases a lot! e.g i did about 40 minute back/bicep workout and got 4k+ steps! i was wondering if you get the same thing
I am thinking in getting one butbi dont now wich one isbthe best please tell be in a coment quick thanks
I’ve had 2 FitBit Charge HR’s and both times the band started to separate from the screen just after 3 months. FitBit replaced them both times free of charge. None the less I’m looking for a new tracker.
Great video! I just got my Fitbit Charge 3 today. Your video is very helpful. Thanks!
I bought this from ebay for $63 used, can’t wait to try this out.
Do you have to sync it often, or is it mostly self-sufficient most of the time? We’re getting one for my grandmother in order to encourage her to walk more, but she doesn’t have a smartphone, and even with the USB dongle, we don’t want to scare her away from it by having her learn something new. I know you have to use the program for initial setup, but after that, can it get by with only connecting every now and then? In other words, will it continue to keep the time, date, etc on its own for long periods of time without syncing?
Hi! Can get real time pace, average pace and distance without it being connected to GPS?
Great review! recently I have purchased fitbit charge 2 and I am not happy with the steps, every time I go for driving, moving my arm and when I woke up it counts unnecessary steps. Do you have any idea how to fix this issue?
thanks buddy you have such a real good way of explaining things, you’re awesome!!! beside being gorgeous
This was a very helpful video. Thanks to this really well-persuading review, I just made up my mind to buy my dad the Charge instead of the Flex! Thanks again, and have a great day
the only thing i dont like about these is the fact the information is passed onto an app so the government knows our sleeping quality and the number of steps we have taken and personal information they should not have access too. If the device could track the info it should be able to give u a log on digital display. but the tracker passes the info onto the app. People better wake wake up fast.
my 3 Fitbit died after few months of use and this is not designed for very active people. Even though the warranty is one year the customer service person saying that my fitbit got wet. Not a good choice for active people
would you recommend this to a runner who wants to keep track of how far they run???
Is it by any chance water proof? Can it be wear’d during showers? or no?
Man i just love ur reviews ♡, I know how many people are asking u every day and u keep helping them,thank u for ur kindness ♡
I’m about to get the Charge 2
and I’m willing to use it for Weightlifting
I care the most about the HR
1is the delay u mentioned about the data the band display on screen? or the reading it self.
2is it accurate but it’s only problem the delay?
3do u think i should care about the HR reading when it comes to weightlifting or it doesn’t matter?
thank u so much whether you answered me or not ♡
This is the best Fitbit because it’s still working! Each Fitbit versa has died on me and its replacement lasted for 6 months.
how to meassure stride when i step at one place like while watching tv? does this count all the steps of leslie walk at home?
If u have problems with any fitbit devices, beyond your own troubleshooting based on some tips and chat with Fitbit support… Fitbit does not have any support or repair centres anywhere in the world. Once damaged, out of warranty… Just throw it away. Dont believe me? Contact fitbit supoort via chat.
Yes love charge my black small fit bit app my iPhone 5c get Apple
Jim, Nice review. I have 1 question…does it show the date?
BUYERS BEWARE. My Fitbit Charge 2 HR battery is DEAD after only 18 months.
My call and text notifications Stopped after a few weeks. I do not even have the call / text options in under notifications. Nevertheless, I like my FitBit. Great video!
u did such a great review. u make mw want my fit bit so bad but i have to wait till tomorrow to get it. i have the flex one and it stopped working so i am now upgrading and it is so worth it yay
Thanks, much appreciated. Really like the work put into the review.
Hi:) Check out our fitbit alta vs. fitbit charge hr video, and subscribe for more upcoming videos on fitbit (and other stuff)
Fitbit hr timekeeper running?
Suppose I run 5 miles, it measures how long? A few minutes?
I love my fitbit! It works for me and my lifestyle. I would recommend it for anyone with intermediate level of fitness. I was able to find the best price at http://amzn.to/1obJf5n
sir, does it have a timer? that’s importantt for me I really need a timer for my exercises thank you sir……
On amazon this fitbit is rated higher than the charge 3.The 3 seems to have some issues people hate.I got the charge 2 and I’m very happy with it!
THE SLEEP TRACKER IS BAD WHEN YOU ARE ASLEEP IT PREFORMS CHEMICALES RADIO ACTIVE AND CAUSE YOU TO GET SERIOUS SICKNESS
Really appreciate the review!
Do you use it for swimming? I’ve been trying to find a good, basic, but also cheap fitness type smart watch so I’m thinking this might be good? I mostly do cardio in the gym and have started swimming so I’d like to keep better track of how I’m doing!
Does anyone else have a problem trying to sync this device to your mobile? I have the HTC One (M7) and I’ve literally tried everything (even got another replacement fitbit) also tried all the tips on the site but it just doesn’t seem to work, works just fine with my PC though…
Is anyone else having the problem of very short battery life? It days 5 to 7 days of use I can’t get 2 days before it dies. Any tips on what I can look for?
Hey techy, I’m lost in the world of activity trackers and hoping you can help. I’d prefer something that’s less of a watch and more of a band, with accurate calories burned in the gym, and a smart alarm that correlates with sleep cycles. A nice food tracking app would be a nice added bonus. Thanks!
I’m only looking for sleep and step tracker, charge 2 should do me good.
Techy agent i have a question about the fit bit 2 does it also monitor your body fat. Cause there was a feature were u had to enter it.. How many features does it have in total..
It actually shows you the time if you rais it to shoulder level
is it accurate in counting your steps? because i need a device that is accurate in counting my steps.
Thanks
During my disappointing year-long experiment with the Fitbit Charge HR, I experienced failures of three separate units. The warranty on the unit was for one year. Let me point out that the environment to which these trackers were exposed was a relatively leisurely, non-abusive one. They were never dropped, submerged in water, or treated harshly.
After only 3 months, the ORIGINAL unit began to physically split on the top next to the digital readout, with a crack on the side. Fitbit Support was contacted and a SECOND unit was sent to me.
Although the SECOND unit was not physically damaged, this unit was not counting steps accurately and not showing a heart rate. It may have been a software issue with the unit. Therefore, another 3 months later, Fitbit Support was contacted, and a THIRD unit was sent.
After 4 months, the THIRD unit began to split on the underside of the readout, revealing the battery. When Fitbit Support was contacted for the THIRD time, their response was that the one-year warranty on the ORIGINAL unit had expired and so declined to replace the THIRD faulty unit. They touted their “excellent 100% quality product” in their email declining to replace this THIRD failed unit (it’s still support for the ORIGINAL unit!), and “magnanimously” offered me a 25% discount towards the purchase of a NEW Fitbit tracker.
Seriously? You can’t get the one I’ve already BOUGHT to work, and you want me to shill out MORE money? Why would I even consider spending MORE money on a product that has had three units fail in a year? How about getting me a product (that I’ve already paid for!) that doesn’t fall apart and does what it’s supposed to do?
That “excellent 100% quality product” statistic must not include MY experience, because MY experience was 0%. Which is just about the same as THEIR chance of getting any more of my money, with or without a discount.
I had charge3 for 1 year. So, after the year, a rubber band breaks. I’ve replaced it to a longer one from the box (it was included, probably for thicker wrists) and after a week it starts to endlessly auto pressing the main button… So now I just couldn’t use it and it discharges battery really fast. I’ve cleaned it, took off all bands, but nothing substantially changed( Also, the warranty period is out. Now I’m thinking about another tracker, definitely not Fitbit. The screen is damaged a bit, some horizontal stripes have appeared. Also, it “counts” steps even when I just waiving my hands. So, based on my experience I definitely wouldn’t recommend buying anything from Fitbit it’s just expensive, not so durable, and even can’t properly perform its main task count steps properly.
Great revue thanks I really appreciate it. I just purchased the FITBIT Charge and it was a very easy set-up taking all of ten minutes. However, how do I set the steps and calories burned to zero? It was on 595 when I bought it, now it just adds my steps the “phantom” walker….Any suggestions?
can the fitbit charge 2 track your speed when you are biking?
Hey quick question. So with the stop watch, it doesn’t track what you just did during that time, like you never exercised at all? Like i guess im saying is the activity you did while on stop watch, still adds up to your total days worth of activity right?
riz im a 11 year old and i wanted to get a fitbit so should i get the charge or Hr
Does it have a deeply in it to tell you how much battery you have left
Question I got mines at Kohl’s store for $100 is that price good?
if you delete weights on the app you can see heaps more you can use.
I like how you mentioned wearing another watch with it. Now I’m encouraged to still wear my beloved Samsung Gear S at the same time. I think I’ll get this tracker!
So I don’t need to bring my phone for it to tell me my distance and pace? The phone will only give me an added map right?
fitbit charge 3 and charge 3 special edition are blood oximeter-ready from the box and fitbit had just activated it thru firmware update.
Hi, My charge charges but after about an hour of use the battery dies and it has an exclamation mark on the screen before it dies completely… any ideas why?
Thank you
It’s not recommended to wear it in the shower. Not just because of the water, but because the soap and shampoos might cause damage over time.
Great review mate.
I would be great if you can suggest me which to select either Fitbit charge or Jawbone 24
Is there a way to set it on drive mode? I could of sworn I saw someone post that
Sometimes when i go to run on the watch and hold it down until the timer comes on, it isn’t counting to miles right. Slower than normal
So i just purchased charge 2 but havent opened it yet…should i get the garmin vivoactive hr instead you seem to comparing the fitbit to the garmin as your basis so do you like the garmin better i would rather pay a little more for the garmin if its better i got the charge 2 for 129 usually is 149 so thats why i went that route i just want to get a good one i mostly just walk about 2-4hrs a night and will start back training crossfit and stationary bike tomorrow getting tired of using phone pedometer thanks in advance very confusing
To Rebecca White, the stopwatch is not a basic stopwatch. It will track your steps and calories burned during the interval. It doesn’t (right now) estimate your distance traveled. Think of the stopwatch as you tagging an activity or telling the Fitbit you’re now working out. That way you can analyze your workout specifically in more detail later.
i know with the flex you constantly have to use the app. is it the same with this?
Hey. Thanks for the review. Do you know if it works with Apple’s Health app?
Hey man! Thanks for helping me make my first fitness tracker purchase! I watched a lot of your videos trying to figure out which band suited my needs. It was a tie between the charge and vivofit2. But I got the charge on sale haha
NOTE: Fitbit does not recommend you swim with the Charge. It is water resistant up to 1 ATM (or 10 meters), but the company still doesn’t endorse the use of the Charge in swimming activities.
Have you (or anyone) actually tried swimming laps with the Fitbit Charge? You say in this video that you could swim w/ it and/or shower with it, but the manufacturer doesn’t recommend. 1 ATM seems good enough for me for swimming, but I’d rather not try it and… well, lose $130 on the Charge. Have you given it a shot?
Great review thanks for doing it. Got mine about a week ago and really like it but I’m wondering how you got the date to show with time, mine only shows time…..Thanks..
I’m looking for a fitbit that tracks blood pressure in addition to activity, etc. I enter that wanted feature in my search but everything responds with heart monitor only. Is there actually a tracker watch that provides blood pressure monitoring? Thanks.
The problem with smart bands is that you can’t wear a watch, since it would be redundant

I bought my Fitbit 1 month ago. When I go to bed I let it charge on my floor, then I wake up and It says 560 calories burned? I didn’t even take 1 step? Do you know how I fix this. It’s been happening for like 2 weeks
I work in an office typing 7 hrs a day would it confused steps to me moving my hands to type?
Can please show me more I am still new to the whole thing and how do you set up the date on your FitBit Charge HR cause I want to know more about it
3:27
Guy: overall, there’s some room for improvement..
Lady (turns her face sarcastically): yeah, why don’t you look at your ass first?
Nice review, @RizKnows! Just bought one on Amazon. One correction though: The Fitbit Charge is not submersible in water. The 1 ATM rating means that it will protect from accidental splashes and sweat, but the official website says that this is not meant to be submerged underwater.
Pure Junk, extremely poor product! Had nothing but problems with app!!Best buy told me they would not give me another watch, so I had to deal with fitbit and they would not give me my money back, they did send a new watch and after 3 weeks it stopped working! Nothing but problems..pure junk!
this really helps even though I have a provata Fitbit but it still helps
Just by a mi band 2, and don’ t waste your money on bullshit like this. The mi 2 cost 20 $ and can do exactly the same stuff as this crap.
So if i wear the fitbit charge while doing high intensity cardio or resistance training, it will tell me exactly how many calories i burn?
Hi Eric could u tell me if I´ll need to take my phone with me when going running so as to see my track on Googlemap overlay? or the GPS onboard is enough for such thing? cheers!
So sad with your reviews of Charge and Surge. I was looking forward to it. Now I feel as though I have to stick with my FitBit Flex.:(
Help. I’ve been looking at Charge and Charge HR. I love the look of the Charge, it’s thinner, I prefer the locking style and the texture to me is better, plus a brighter screen. But I want the HeartRate feature. I hit the gym three times a week, run maybe twice a week. My question is, how accurate is the HR monitor? If I’m lifting weight, do I need to pause after every set for it to take an accurate reading? How reliable is the data?
One of the best review out there, thank you sooo much, didn’t skip any bit, watched the full 18 mins. Wow, just rewlzowd it was 18 mins. Thanks again
I’ve been enjoying all your reviews. You are my new go to tech review guy. (Odd side note I for some reason enjoy the way you say button lol).
Nice video!!!
I have a question, has given you any connection problems?
I read in the Fitbit community that the Charge 3 stopped synchronizing to their phones after a few weeks of use.
Thank you for sharing it, but I would like to clarify about the spo2, what do you mean about spo2, Fitbit doesn’t have spo2, or you don’t have an access on the mobile app?
Awesome! Just one question On the gps thing: So if you go out on a run you need to have your phone around?
hi Rizknows i have been watching all the fitbit videos from you and i think they are very helpful and fun, i was just wondering, i am right handed, what hand shall i put it on?
Yj hb7njcuvu u u v gtvbbh. O rb bb. Jbjbb b. J jb or
Ty I already can one but u show me stuff that I didn’t know so ty for the help
I ordered from Fitbit.com
I feel it’s safer to order straight from the real company than through someone else.
Can you tell me why as soon as I turn my fitbit on fresh out of the box, it says I burned 638 cal?
Based on your experience with charge 3 special edition, do you ever try to pairing with iphone then receive the notification from whatsapp?
Hi. I like the review you did, very detailed. Before I finally purchase this, how did you do the TRANSIT NOW notification? Was it integrated or was it through SMS? Appreciate it if you can detail that specific. Thank you.
Even this is old, i just ordered one. I hope this is not too old yet
I really enjoyed your review. I agree about the band. I wanted the black fitbit but would have enjoyed the other band. I just didn’t like the rose color fitbit. I’ll be looking forward to your follow up review.
Very good review thanks! I’m considering buying so it was so useful to see this
Thank you so much for this review! <3 I'm just wondering if there is a follow up on using Fitbit pay?
THE FITBIT CHARGE 3 WOULD BE PERFECT IF IT SOLVED THESE:
no phone finder
sleep score STILL in beta and not available on app
can’t track swimming laps during swim only after on app -_-
The HUAWEI band 3 and HONOR band 4 do all this as standard
NO MUSIC CONTROLS!!!
You can get so many different colors and textures from Amazon. I just got 10 new bands in one go so i guess that’s bands for life. I personally like the white band, it looks really sexy.
Im looking for a fitbit that monitors blood preasure as well as steps and heart rate oxygen etc..your advise would really help thx
Why would you ever want to turn off the heart rate monitor? That’s like 85% of what I want out of a fitness tracker.
Mine came with white like your but also black so I have a choice. I got it at BB for about $170.
Hi, thank you for the video. So far I like your video, it’s the best.
I just bought my Charger has the removable white band as it’s more feminine but I see a button on yours so your comment about not having buttons on the outside are confusing to me, perhaps there were more features on your Pebble? Not sure.
I’m an older lady who just wants to track my heart and calorie intake. I had a Flex 2 which is also waterproof but the C3 has the HR and is also waterproof. I bought mine at Best Buy for about $170 as it came with a rubbery white band and has holes which is good as then your skin can still breath, plus goes on like a watch The Flex 2 had those prongs which were a real pain. I also like because I can just take the watch off and charge it, rather than take out the little black piece plus has great battery life.
At first I was a bit upset as the Flex 2 seemed to be more accurate but I think It just takes some time for it to “sync” with me, but so far it’s getting more accurate. I did have to put settings on my dominant hand (when I actually don’t wear it that way) as it’s too sensitive. The first day it showed I walked up 30 flights of stairs when I only went up 2 but now the stairs is very accurate I did a run which (I think) is the best way for it to configure, which I thinks is configuring my running/walking tread distance, but you can also adjust those setting by going to your settings panel on your phone/computer dashboard.
But I have another phone app called MyNetDiary. It’s a free download which works good but well worth the extra bucks which was under $10. It has a great calorie tracker which has most restaurant info and you can also do bar codes. For me it’s great because you can add recipes. For example I added my muffins base recipe as I make them homemade. I literally bar codes for each ingredient that would make the whole batch and when I eat a muffin I just put in the percent. For instance the batch makes 10 muffins so I look up the recipe and put that I had.10 which gives me the correct calories. This app also has an exercise tracker, a water tracker which I really like plus you can add notes, goals, etc. There’s also a food report that shows exactly what nutrients you’re getting.
So what I do is log everything in MyNetDiary but it’s synced with Fitbit and vice versa. Now I can truly see calories expended but also calories eaten so I have a balance. Wow! How great is that? I can now keep it under my calorie expenditure. The sleep feature is also very nice, but what I’ve read is that if you “force” it by going onto your phone/computer and say “I’m going to sleep” it won’t register on the wrist band, however it does show up on the dashboard so that’s all I really care about.
I think the hardest thing was to find the profile/dashboard on the computer, lol… I went to fit.com after I made my android phone profile so now I can check on computer or phone. I know some people have had a tough time with theirs but I really like mine.
to see the time, you can also tap below the screen a few times and the time will appear just as if you were pushing the button
I NEED HELP!! I tried to add my card to my fitbit charge 3 and it says the card is not supported. Can anyone help or explain?
also included is it tracks step and floors while driving
1700 steps 46 floors today driving to the post office
customer support confirms you need to wade thru a half dozen screens to log driving as activity
then wade thru the same half dozen screens to turn off
luckily i only had 4 errands to run so i only had to do this 8 times in 2 hours
customer support confirms if u forget u can take a piece of paper and minus the steps calculated in error
I love love love love it and it suits fine. I am thinking of getting one my mum for this coming Christmas.
Maybe someone’s already commented on this but you don’t have to push the button to see the time. Just pull your wrist up and turn as if looking at your watch and it lights up.
The white one is feminine? I stopped watching at this point.
It is not a very good Fitbit. I’ve used it for a few months now and the wristband fell apart. That’s why I bought the versa 2 just now
How do i clean my fit bit charge and can i take a shower with it on?
Great info! Just got mine today and I am looking forward to using it!
How can the device measure burned calories from weight lifting? Is it accurate enough?
Hi! I have one question. Can you pair FitBit Charge with UP by Jawbone new mobile
app
What makes it a special edition tho? Extra stuff in the box?
Can you change the colour of the band like with the Fitbit Flex?
Connected gps? I don’t own a cell phone but use my iPad as a main puter. First time fitness buyer. Want gps. This one or garmin vivosport? Thanks
Great review. Covered everything I was thing I was interested. I wish they would switch the white strap for the grey one they have with the versa. I did see you can get third party bands on eBay for pretty cheap.
thank for nice review. “you live in Canada and adopt tech very slowly”. Man, you are living the LIFE!! Good for you!
Hard to put on, impossible to see in the sunlight, not sync in many tries, poor product, stay away from it.
Is it water proof? Edit:I swim for 2 hrs for swim practice so im not sure if its ok
Hi. Thanks for review. I’m really undecided between charge 2 and A360. Accuracy seams to be the same so which one would you recommend?
You know, I’m considering buying the special edition for the white band (I’m a sucker for white, not a show off ) joke, Amazon bands are cheaper than the difference between the regular and the special edition (in my country, Fitbit pay is a nonsense, and I always have my phone with me…).
I don’t understand how its a sleep tracker but you have to charge it wouldn’t you be charging it at night? How long does the bettery last?
hi can teach us how to use this 3 for exercise? i have a QS. i swim 35minim but show total 75cals. and the pool is 60ft but i don’t know how to setup the FC3 show M. i always google ft and M. Elliptical machine show the M but FC3 show is KM.
Also looking to buy this one, but would like to know if you can visualize % of heart rate instead of beats per minute when exercising, anyone?
Is the time and calorie count accurate?
I need to know what time it is but at the same time how many calories I burned. Im not so sure about the calorie thing cause how is something that goes on your wrist… able to detect how many calories you burned? Anyways this looks like a cool device and also, do I NEED the fitbit app??
Does your phone have to be near you to collect data? Like for a run for example
Hey! In terms of weightlifting which one would you buy: the vivoSMART HR+ or the FitBit Charge 2?
Not techy so found the review wonderful and easy to understand. I have Charger 2 and wear it on the inside of my wrist because tiny wrists. Also how do I get it to track my exercise when weightlifting. Read instructions but cannot find exercise shortcut.
Would you suggest this Fitbit over the Flex? I’m searching several devices trying to find the one that is best for me. I want something small and discreet and this one does seem bigger than the Flex.
DUDE, Fitbit works with Capital one..It’s a great card and 1.5% money back. It’s also one of the most popular credit cards.
