Q: QuestionLooking at the profile picture of this Charge 2, seems the HR monitor protrudes even more so that the original Charge HR. My question is does this dig into anyone's wrist more so than the original?

Q: QuestionDoes it track food/weight?

Asked 8 years ago by Jdt.

• A:Answer You use the MyFitnessPal app to enter your food and it syncs with the FitBit app information from the band. You can enter your weight through MyFitnessPal app also. Now, you CAN enter food and weight into FitBit though I have yet to meet a person who actually does that. The MyFitnessPal interface and journal keeping is FAR superior to FitBit's......FitBit knows this LOL it syncs beautifully. Now, if you bought this AND a FitBit Aria scale; your weight would sync to the app wirelessly. Hope that helps.

Q: QuestionDoes this track heart rate recent history or only current heart rate, or both?

Asked 8 years ago by Leroy.

This question was asked about the related product: Fitbit - Charge 2 Activity Tracker + Heart Rate (Large) - Black Silver

• A:Answer The device itself gives only current heart rate, however, the application tracks heart rate from the day you first set it up and provides weekly and monthly average and instantaneous overviews. Heart rate data is continuously collected via the synchronization mechanism with your iPhone, Android or iPad. Hope this helps. I have found this to be the best Fitbit device to day - I highly recommend it.

Q: QuestionWhat is the wristband made out of? Silicone? Rubber? I am allergic to latex and rubber.

Asked 8 years ago by CAROLYN.

• A:Answer I am allergic to latex and didn't have any trouble. I did order a metal replacement band with a magnetic clasp because I wanted my Fitbit to look classier and blend better with my jewelry. I get compliments on this combo all of the time.

Q: Questionwhat is the difference in width between the Charge H and the new Charge 2?

Asked 9 years ago by sambo.

• A:Answer First tt has a larger face, replaceable bands, It has a better design on the charging cable and I think the battery life is a bit longer between charges. One other feature that is nice is that it allows you to view incoming text messages on the Charge 2 " nice when your in meetings" . The Original HR does allow you to see incoming calls as does the Charge 2.
