Customer Ratings & Reviews

I gave the Fitbit Charge HR to my wife for mother's day (she had been hinting for weeks). It has worked flawlessly and easily from day 1, and she has found it an invaluable help for her to reach her fitness goals and stay motivated. It does many things and does them all well. She's found it very intuitive and easy to use... it even tracks her sleep so she can see trends when she sleeps well or not. We are both 100% satisfied.

I had the Fitbit Flex and decided to trade up. With all the fitness bands on the market, I did some research. For the money and the capabilities it was the best for me. The only downfall I would say is it's not waterproof. But I like that it automatically tracks your sleep without having to press any other buttons and the it also has a watch.

This is great for tracking your exercise since it monitors your heart rate and it has been eye opening for my sleep cycle. It's been dead on with the times that I'm awake too because I've looked at the clock and compared that to when it says I was awake. The only con is that it emits a flashing green light, when I wake up at night that is distracting, I have to have it completely flush with my wrist to not see that light.

I like it better than the regular fitbit because of the band strap has a buckle on it. I lost 3 regular fitbits due to the band coming loose. The battery does not last as long but you get warning that it needs charging. I like everything else about it other than I cannot use it swimming and water aerobics so those activities are not monitored. The heart monitor seems to be accurate.

It is a wonderful way to keep track of steps, sleep, stairs and heart rate during a workout!

I actually pruchased it for my wife. She used it.mostly but she is not really tech savvy and so i have gained intimate knowledge of this device. As far as what is used for ( hear rate monitor, steps, and notifications) it is great and works very well.....flawless with an iPhone! But when a friend of hers also bought one so they could be frineds and help encourage one another it became more difficult. Her friend has and Android phone and it didnt seem to play as nice. Some da6s it would not sync and then i had to reconnect it by deleting it from the phone and then adding it back as if it were new which made her lose her cumulative steps for the period since the last sync. Fitbit will only allow it to cinnect via its proprietary app and it is a known issue with fitbit and Android.so hopefully they are working on it.

I upgraded from a Flex to a Charge HR and the difference has been mind blowing. Just the ability to have a display to quickly check your stats keeps me motivated throughout the day to meet my daily goal. The HR is great benefit and is yet another metric to help motivate workouts and cardio exercise. Only downside is not being able to shower with it like the Flex. Overall, a great investment and worth every penny.

Love it! I especially like the sleep function. Now when I say I didn't sleep well I can really see where the problems are. It easily syncs to the phone and the challenges are great. Easy to get your friends added and it really keeps you motivated. Best step tracker I've used, even more accurate than the step tracker on the iPhone Health app. Plus you don't need to carry your phone with you if you're not using it for GPS.

The Fitbit Charge HR may not motivate everyone as it did me, but I lost 8 lbs my first week using it. I was committed to getting in at least 10,000 steps a day, and as a result of the effort of doing 10,000 steps each day, I found it easier to make healthier food choices. With increased physical activity, and decreased calorie intake, you can understand how I saw results right away. Again, not everyone will be motivated by having their health data, but I definitely was. The Fitbit app has been great and easy to use. The Fitbit itself has been comfortable. The rubber band does make it a little more difficult with tucking my shirt into my pants, and sliding my arm underneath my wife's neck when going to bed at night, because the band catches easy - not a big deal though. My biggest disappointment has been the miscounting of the flights of steps I've taken in a day. The Fitbit has overestimated on many occasions - e.g. reporting that I've done 100 flights of steps when I know I've done nowhere near that. I thought the issue might have occurred due to a low battery, but it still seems like it happens sometimes even with a full charge. The miscount of flights hasn't seemed to affect the calories burned number, so I haven't been too bothered by it. It does do a great job of calculating my steps. On many occasions, I've counted my steps (minimum of 50 steps) and then would stop to see what the Fitbit logged and it was always spot on or within 1 or 2 steps of what I counted. Overall, I'm very happen with the Fitbit Charge HR and would definitely purchase it again.

I purchased this so I can keep an eye on my heart rate and now I am glad I did,The rest of the functions are now also being used on a daily schedule,that is how great this product is and how simple it is to use. I love the tap feature.So if you are looking into these fitness watchers,get this one for sure you will be glad you did.

Only got it a few days ago and so far it's doing a good job, tried to use pedometers in the past and they didn't work but I love all the extras with this one. In fact I am a bit obsessed with the sleep monitoring function. I bought it to motivate me to be more active and becaus I always wondered how far I walk at work. Off to do my last 500 steps to make my 10000 for today.

I have had three different fitbits (force, charge, and charge hr) and must say the features of the charge hr are great. I love not having to tell it to start tracking sleep, the improved watch band, and the heart rate monitor. It does everything it is supposed to and so much more than the last two models. It is great. Highly recommended.

I am very happy with my purchase . Because of it I have been walking more every day and setting my goals higher every time I reach my daily goal. I also like to track my sleeping habits and I learned that I have not been sleeping well and this must be why I lack energy during the day. It is working fine since the day I purchased it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs motivation to do exercises.

I had owned an original Fitbit flex a few years ago, and decided after my band broke that it was time for an upgrade. I love the additional features that the Charge HR offers. The first one I bought was defective, but loved that Best Buy exchanged it with no hassles. The one I have now works perfectly fine. As with the other Fitbit models, you can also sync with other apps that you may be using (i.e my fitness pal, etc) which makes tracking a breeze. I also love that it monitors my heart rate and let's me know when I'm in the different "zones". The sleep tracking feature on this model no longer requires that you tap and set it when you fall asleep. Just go to sleep, and the tracker senses the lack of movement, and will begin tracking. My condo has stairs, and always says I average between 1-3 floors, so I'm unsure how accurate the stair tracker is. Or maybe it would've been nice to know the measurement to which they do the tracking, and how many stairs is considered a "floor". I had read some reviews on the Fitbit community wall, and apparently it was inaccurate and not tracking properly prior to the update. I havent figured out how to make the notification feature work that allows phone notifications to appear on the face of the tracker. Seemed like it drained my battery Overall, a great product, and would recommend.

I've tried several less expensive trackers, but non have been as easy to set up and use as this one. Having the heart rate monitor is a big plus when exercising to see max rate and duration. My only complaint is knowing when to recharge. This should be ON the device and not an email notification.

I had the Fitbit Flex at first, but wanted to have the additional heart rate monitoring. I am very happy with the Charge HR. It is a little bulkier then the flex, but after the first day or so I don't notice a difference. My only complaint, and I expected it, is the battery life is significantly less then the flex. I does a lot more so I would expect a shorter battery life. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

The Fitbit Charge HR is a great product with one fault. It is NOT waterproof. This keeps the time, my heart rate,my sleep patterns, my steps/activity, distance, calories and more. It has help me be accountable to myself, which I was lacking. This also helps me identify/screen calls from my iPhone. It is a great product. If this item was waterproof it would be worth 10 stars!

Let me start by saying that if you have a product, it should cater to all people. One would assume that if it is a fitness tracker, it would cater to those of us who are "bigger" than others. I love the product, I love the heart monitor and sleep tracker. I hate the size of the band. Large is stretched on me...... once I drop 20lbs it will be perfect but it sucks right now.

The ChargeHR is a great tool to tracking my daily activity and heart rate. I use it in conjunction with the app on my iPhone to monitor my diet & weight. It keeps me honest in pursuing my fitness goals and helps me understand the impact that each meal, workout, and regular activity has on my success.

I've had 2 prior Fitbit devices And each one has been better. This one is great in that it senses when you've done something so you don't have to log things. It's a little too sensitive on sensing sleep - either that or I spend more time sleeping in front of the TV than I know! Heart rate monitor is helpful to monitor stress levels in addition to exercise effectiveness.
