It tracks the wearers fitness. If you're talking about the Charge HR specially, the HR stands for Heart Rate and it reads the wearers pulse off of their skin and gives instant pulse readings. The heart rate information can also be stored and synced with the user's phone to track the entire workout and see if they were in their target heart rate zone. Aside from heart rate, it also tracks steps and calories burned based on the user's body measurements. Of course, it keeps time and has fun features like alarms and text message notifications when paired with a smartphone.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Fitbits are fitness and activity trackers. Their main purpose is to do just that... track activity for a person. If they use it by itself, they will be able to access this information from the Fitbit display. If they use technology like a smartphone or computer, they they can sync the Fitbit to these devices for a more robust experience.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your son would probably like the Fitbit Charge HR. It is a little more expensive than the regular one, but does a lot more to track activity.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Fitbit is an activity tracker. Depending on the model it can track: amount of steps taken, distance walked, floors climbed, calories burned, monitor heart rate, monitor sleep, and serve as a digital watch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depending on which Fitbit you get, will decide what capabilities they have. I would would recommend the Charge HR because it will count steps and miles, it tells you how many flights of stairs climbed, as well as tells about your sleep patterns and reads your heart rate. As long as you have a computer to sync it to, you can enter in your weight, to track your loss, plus add in the foods and water amounts you're intaking.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
