Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have been using my fitbit HR for over a month. Battery life lasts a few days as I wear this almost 24\7. Very accurate on flights of stairs! I've had to play around with the steps vs distance using the app to get a close to correct count. This little fitness band is definitely worth the money for all you get. The app or program is very user friendly and has a nice set up. Fun doing competitions with friends using the app! I'd purchase one if I were you!

I went with the Charge HR b/c of all the features. I do love all that it tracks. I don't think it tracks calories burned realistically, though. It's also on the bulky side so I find it comfortable to sleep w/ it on. But the couple times I did, reviewing the information on my sleep patterns was very informative. I love that it also a caller ID and I can see who's calling before looking at my phone, or know my phone is ringing even when I'm not near it.

Makes fitness easy. Steps, calories, and sleep all tracked along with your heart rate. What more do you need?

I've worn the Charge HR everyday for about a month now. I don't know how accurate the steps are because I don't count them but it seems pretty accurate. The heartrate is very close, within 2 points. I have found that the "floors" only counts going upstairs, it doesn't count going down stairs. I'm not sure if this is because you burn more calories going upstairs. ?? The sleep tracker is surprisingly accurate. I was surprised to see how many times I wake up during the night. It also shows you how many times you are restless. This info will be very useful when discussing my sleep problems with my Dr. I am not a morning person, I sleep right threw my clock alarm, but the Fitbit alarm gets me up right away. It is a buzz/vibration coming from the part of the band that touches your wrist. This does not hurt by any means. I haven't used all the features that it offers so I cannot comment on the rest. I have a LG G3 and the app works very well. It is nice to see your stats well laid out in the app. You can also view them in graph form. I have found this Fitbit to push me to do more, seeing the numbers on the app makes me want to increase them. ... I wish it came with interchangeable colored bands. :)

As a 75-year old, I'm a little hesitant to buy technology unless I've seen that its benefits compensate for the time invested in learning how to use it. The Fitbit was not that hard to get going (with a little advice from my grandchildren) and has been a very good investment for me. It reminds me to keep active; helps me monitor my heart rate during exercise, so I know when it's aerobic; and gives me a weekly printout of my activity during the week, so I can chart my progress. I love having it!

I bought the Fitbit with the HR monitor specifically to track calories in & calories out. The sleep part is also really interesting and accurate as far as I can tell. My one minor complaint is tracking food. It's easy, but doesn't break down fat/protein/fiber/etc. like I'm used to with My Fitness Pal. Otherwise, it's easy to wear, battery lasts a while, & makes me workout even more to get those steps in!

The Fitbit Charge HR feels great on the wrist and tracks all my activity which helps keep me motivated and moving. I was able to lose an average of 2 pounds a month just because of my increased activity prompted by the tracker. Unfortunately, the device is not very rugged and more suited to those who keep their hands in their pockets and work at a desk. While the strap has held up well, the face scratches easily and the corners are susceptible to breakage. I walked out a door and accidentally brushed my arm on the door frame and the inside corner of the Fitbit face cracked. Within a week, a chunk of the face in the corner had fallen out and a few weeks later, the Fitbit Charge HR was no longer operational. Fortunately, Fitbit has great customer service and they sent me a new tracker. However, since I don't think it is very durable, I would say that most active people will get six months of good usage and possibly a year or more, but those who work in building trades, or spend much time outdoors gardening or camping, etc. would probably not be so lucky. If you consider the fairly reasonable price of these devices, and the benefits they can provide, I still feel it's a relatively good deal. However, my wife now has the Fitbit, and I have opted for the Samsung Gear Fit2.

I was skeptical of the HR tracking based on the reviews, as this was the primary reason that I wanted this product. I run, lift weights and do high intensity interval training every day. After playing around with position and tightness, the Charge HR has consistently measured my HR accurately at rest, during moderate exercise and during high intensity exercise, including heart rates up to 162 bpm during hill intervals. I wear the Charge HR on my non dominant hand, left, about 2-3 fingers width up from my wrist bone, moderately tight. I tighten it further during intense exercise and loosen it slightly for sleep and normal wearing. It has consistently measured my heart rate during sleep also. My heart rate readings are similar to what I've gotten with other measurements including chest strap. I find myself being more mindful about my calorie intake as I've been logging my eating and drinking and comparing it to my calorie burn. The run tracking with the iPhone is similar to what I've gotten with run keeper. Very happy so far.

I have been having this activity tracker for a month now. This has been one of the best activity trackers I have used till date. The metrics it generates really motivates me has a fitness enthusiast. The sleep tracker and heart rate monitors are good add ons to have. Flip side is it could have been water proof so that I could have used it for swimming. And i wish Fitbit could have also supported to have integration with iPhone health application :(

I purchased the Fitbit HR as a reminder to get up and move when at the office. Tracking my steps has done just that. The heart rate monitor works well. I have tested its accuracy with my other heart rate monitor device that straps around my chest. The con is that I get surprised at times when the battery dies or is dying. I wish there was an alert on the fitbitbthat says what percentage the battery is at. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

Great products. Positives are accuracy and ease of you. Could have a done a better job with the battery

Bought the Fitbit hr for my wife, she had my son who had it and liked it so she asked for it as a b day present Had it for a couple months and she likes it because it motivates her to get her 10,000 steps in each day and she can compete with her friends as well. It's worth the extra $ to have heart rate built in for sure . Other watches may do one specific function better like monitoring sleep but overall Fitbit her does most things better

All around its a good tracker of steps taken, stairs climbed, current and average heartbeat. The face scratches extremely easy. Tracking sleep seems to be ok. Having caller ID is kinda cool on your wrist. I'm a little more excited about the Apple watch, I think if given the choice to rebuy the Fitbit or wait on the Apple watch, I would probably have waited.

I bought my fitbit to challenge myself to go the extra mile. I wanted a more accurate measurement than my phone. I love the app! I can keep track of me weight, water intake and even food calories! I check it constantly to push myself to get me steps and burn calories. I purchased mine on 5/31 and have worn it everyday and night. I love the sleep tracking. Worth the money paid! Happy spender

I love it!! Love that it counts steps (up and horizontal) heart rate, tracks sleep patterns, everything, and it's a watch!!

It is comfortable to wear and easy to use. I love the heart rate feature along with being able to monitor my sleep cycle.

Overall I really like the fitbit step tracking and sleep tracking. Also being able to challenge friends to get "Fit" is great fun!! The only issue I have is the battery only stays charged about two to three days before totally dead, NO WHERE close to the five days claimed by Fit Bit. I have confirmed this with a few of my friends and they have similar results of needing to charge the battery every few days instead of every five.

I bought this to replace the Fitbit Charge as that was giving me a rash. So far I have had no rashes from the Fitbit Charge HR. Does a good job of tracking my steps, my workouts and my heart rate. The only thing I wish was that the battery could go more than a few days without needing to be charged when it's monitoring the heart rate. I love the fact that I has challenges so that I can challenge my friends to see who can get more steps in.

I would have provided 5 stars if charge time lasted 7 days as advertised but it's more like 4 to 5. The band is secure but not required to be tight to get the heart rate. Feature of phone ring with a vibration of band is great, caller ID also shows on band. I do not have to continually plug into computer to load data, it syncs automatically. Phone app also has all data current all the time, no synchronization required. Just love it.

Love the fitbit! Tracks my heart rate, sleep, steps, and maps my work outs. Does everything I want!
