Customer Ratings & Reviews

After owning and using the fitbit 2 got almost a year, the is room for some improvements. First I'd the screen can get easily scratched with normal wear. Secondly, the bands are starting to separate where it meets the electronics. Good thing the bands are replaceable. Lastly, the tilt to display only works on way so if you change wrists, you have to orient the fitbit do it will still work. This could be fixed in the firmware, but may the hardware doesn't support it? It's been asked for in the forums for over a year and still no improvement. Also would be nice if fitbit and Samsung health software worked together better. Right now, only sleep is imported in Samsung from fitbit, but two way sync would be great so users could use or choose the app they like best

The Fitbit Charge 2 has made great improvements over its predecessor. PROS: relatively accurate; displays more workout categories including a fat burning display; longer battery life; displays fitness level; interchangeable bands that are stylish & easy to clean; and it bluetooth connects with a phone. CONS: waterproof but you cannot submerge in water; heart rate is slightly off; and GPS requires connection to phone. Overall, I think it is a great unit that I would recommend. I gave it 4 stars

Fitbit - Charge 2 Activity Tracker + Heart Rate is a simple. straight-forward fitness tracker. The Fitbit application to me is easily better than Samsung's offerings. Had a Samsung Gear prior to this and the wife and I find the Fitbit app superior to Samsung's. The heart rate monitor is accurate. The quick charge is great and the battery lasts a long time between recharges. Only withheld the 5th star because it is not waterproof, but we knew that going on. Hope you choose to get one and you have a fit and healthy 2017.

I like the design and different bands to choose from. I also like the heart rate monitor and the motivation to get up and move every hour. Good value for the price

I enjoy not only being able to track my steps, sleep, and fitness goals, but this also notifies me when I get a text or call. Getting the reminders to get up and move definitely help during the day, as I have a desk job.

My old Fitbit Charge HR stopped holding a charge after 22 months, so I replace it with this Charge 2. I am very pleased with the display that I've adjusted to show the Time, Date, Steps and Heart Rate all at once, every time I flick my wrist. I like the ability to arrange the display as I wish. Easy to use stopwatch, alarm is easy to turn on or off, and can be set to just the days you want it. Oh, and I really like the display that shows how much charge is left. I check that daily, and recharge about every 4 or 5 days when it gets down to around 10 or 20% Overall, really nicely designed.

I purchased this FitBit Charge 2 for my sister as a Christmas gift. I previously purchased one for my self. I like the ideal of keeping up with my steps in the run of a day and all of the health benefits it logs for you. It helps me to stay on track with trying to live healthier. It reminds me I need to get up and move and it also track my sleep habits. It is a real inspiration. My only issue has been I've broke two bands and had to replace it and I'm not sure what I may be doing wrong in that area.

My fitbit has made being active fun. I love the heart rate monitor and the sleep tracker. Hitting my step for the goal is fun and it makes me want to push myself.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend, and he loves it! He is able to track his fitness goals right at his fingertips, (or should I say “on his wrist).” The only glitch that we see is that sometimes you have to reset the watch on your smart device because it may have the incorrect date and time. This happens every month or so… it’s not hard to do, but it is a pain when you’re not expecting it after putting the watch on that day. I like that the watch gives you random facts about how many steps you took that week, month, or however long you’ve had the watch. It will compare it to the longest railroad, the longest bridge, the longest attraction, etc. I just wish the replacement bands weren’t so expensive. Overall, this is a great Fitness Tracker.

I gave up my Apple Watch for this Charge 2. It does a better job of fitness tracking and the app is much more detailed. Battery life is multiple days as well. It would have gotten 5 stars if it were water resistant.

The Fitbit Charge 2 replaces my (Flex 2 which didn't fasten securely). I am impressed with the Fitbit Charge 2 for these reasons: Reminds you to get up and move with cute sayings; tracks pulse; tracks sleep and quality; tracks flights of stairs and stays fastened! I find it to be accurate and comfortable . Added plus is an easy online sync with Fitbit. I am enjoying it. It really makes me get up and move!

Purchased for my father as a birthday gift, and was very impressed with the build quality and features. I personally own a fitbit flex, so it's definitely a step up from the low-end model. It tracks heart rate, steps, activity, sleep, and offers notifications. Personalization with the app really came in handy, so we pared it down to only a few screens. Unfortunately, it is slightly confusing to older people. He enjoys using the screen on the tracker, and barely uses the app due to its complex nature.

I love my Fitbit I use it all the time and can literally track everything I do with it

I love this fitbit Charger 2, Gives me the time, steps and heart rate. I love the alerts from my phone. More accurate than my original fitbit. Great gift.

This tracker watch is great. At the flip on your hand you can see the time and date. With one touch you can see heart rate, calories burned, steps taken, distance walk and more. With on line tracking you can see weekly progress and set goal and see when your battery is getting low. Charges quickly too. You can change bands for a different look within seconds. Overall, just a great product!

Fibit is great for recording activity. The instructions on use and set-up aren't the greatest until you try all the exercise modes to see what is being recorded. Its too bad you can't convert a stationary or regular Bicycle workout to Steps through the system. But overall the unit is great for tracking your physical activities/heart rate/calories being burned and also a fitness level that you may want to achieve. I only gave it 4-stars because there is no way to convert miles or time to Steps. To compensate, I just leave the Fitbit in walk mode and a hand on a knee or swing an arm when riding a recumbent or stationary bike to have a record of Steps on the Fitbit. The equipment provides time, distance, calories, speed, and METS.

My first Fitbit was the Charge HR. Really liked it, but never could get the floor count right. Fitbit support tried everything to correct the problem, but finally told me to get a replacement since it was under the Best Buy Warranty. Was able to trade it for the Charge 2 at no cost to me. I love everything about the Fitbit Charge 2, from how accurate it is to the size of the face. There is far more information available right on the Fitbit Charge 2 that you can access at any time. I also like how it keeps track of my workouts without having to push any buttons. It knows when you are walking or working out and keeps records of it. The description of this Fitbit Charge 2 on the Fitbit web site is accurate and true. The Fitbit app for smartphones works better than I ever expected. Everything works automatically. I was surprised when it came time to charge the Fitbit. It was a clip on connection that was very snug and easy to secure to the Fitbit. Battery life is almost a week. I could only go 2 to 3 days on my old Fitbit HR. Setup was very simple and seamless. I also like the styling of the Fitbit Charge 2 and the ability to change the band. I did a lot of reading about all fitness trackers before I bought my first Fitbit. Best of all, The Fitbit Support Team is always quick to answer your questions and help with any problems. My suggestion is to buy the Fitbit Charge 2 at Best Buy and purchase the additional extension warranty for it.

Comfortable, accurate, and doesn’t require a ton of charging. Needed something simple to track steps and act as a watch. This fit the bill and then some.

Fits awesome, and good solid build! Great to use for tracking my sleep & steps everyday. I would recommend the charge 2 to anyone thinking about a Fitbit!

Bought this when my watch stopped so I wanted to be able to use it for fitness tracking and as a watch replacement. It's been OK - not perfect - as a watch replacement. Sometimes a little hard to get the time to come on. Fitness tracking has been pretty good. Step count fairly accurate although I am still working on getting the distance traveled to be closer. I don't wear at night, so I can't comment on the sleep tracking. The app is very good, and I find just having the tracker on makes me more aware of hitting my goal each day. Definitely a good value for the price.
