Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had my Charge HR for about a month now. I didn't know if it was going to be a fad, or a new direction. I have always maintained an active life style, but metabolism seems to slow as you get older. I had run with Polar units in the past with the chest strap, I now primarily use a treadmill. So far, I find myself checking total steps, or my heart rate. It is great to get feedback without having to attach other devices....

My Doc has been after me to excersize more and I thought I excersized enough. Unfortunately, my blood work disagreed. Instead of pills, I bought the Fitbit HD and was amazed at how little I was actually doing on a daily basis. I have now significantly increased my activities and changed my habits. I look for the distant parking spot instead of the close one. I walk daily and feel bad when I'm below my averages. I find it to be great motivator and highly recommend it to anyone.

I did alot of research and tried a few but the Fitbit Charge HR is the best one for me. I love the ability to track my steps, calories and sleep. It has helped me work on different eating strategies so I have better sleep at night. Also great to challenge friends and family to step competitions. It was great when I saw my son on the treadmill one day and he said he was on it because mom was beating him for the day and he needed to catch up so he could win. In a word AWESOME!!!

I researched for at least 2 months on which fitness tracker I wanted and ultimately decided with the Fitbit Charge HR for several reasons. The battery life is optimal (lasts 4 days), very easy to use (1 button and only 6 features to look at) in that you are not overwhelmed with the screen, and a very nice color and design. I have used it on my runs and walks and found the app is very easy to navigate as well. Their website is full of great advice on how to make the most out of the product. After each run, it keeps tracking your heart rate and it is able to determine how long you were in the cardiac or fat burning zone. That makes it all the worth while if you are really trying to calculate how many calories did you burn during and after your work out. Best investment I made to get myself into a healthier me.

I have had no issues with Charge HR. It was easy to set up. It is easy to read and seems to keep good tracks of my steps. My biggest surprise was how it kept track of my sleep patterns. Now I know why I was always tried. I thought I was getting more sleep than I was. But after reviewing my sleep patterns now I understand why I was tired and have changed some small adjustments.

Wife got this for me for Valentine's day. Makes it a game to track my steps, calories burned, stairs climbed, etc. It's certainly given me more awareness of what I'm doing to stay in shape. Only complaint on this is that I cannot get it to show calls from my phone consistently. Only does it when I'm already holding my phone in my left hand (Fitbit is on left wrist). Mild setback, but doesn't tarnish the overall product.

Only thing I like best about Fitbit Charge HR is the more secure lock wristband. It has the traditional lock trap unlike the slap on wristband of the Fitbit charger and Fitbit Force which it can be come off accidentally. Secondly is the continous heart rate monitor. The tracker parts are pretty accurated. I took it off for 1 or 2 hours everyday to let it charge or when I take a shower. Overall, I am pretty happy with the Charger HR.

After reading the reviews, I purchased the Fitbit ChargeHR and I must say that I love it. It helps me stay active all day. If you have a smartphone and are competitive, you are able to download the app and join challenges such as Workweek Warriors, Weekend Warriors, Daily Showdown and Workweek Hustle with all of your Fitbit friends. You win badges for your accomplishments which is fun. I love the heart rate monitor because it tells you when you are at your peak.

I wear this 24 hours a day and it really helps me keep track of heart rate, sleep, and steps walked. I'm hooked.

Got the Fitbit to help keep me motivated to working out for better health. I love the fact that it monitors everything - how many steps you take, how many miles, going up and down stairs is awesome. The most important item for me was monitoring my sleep. I've known for years that I am not sleeping well and this helped to prove it. I would recommend this to people that love exercising and those that need that extra incentive. It syncs to both your iphone & computer.

My boys purchased this for Christmas for me. I love it . I like to check my heart rate while walking and it seems to be pretty accurate. I do feel that it sometimes racks up more steps than I really take but probably not to many. The sleep pattern is nice as well. The one thing that I do not follow is calories in vs calories out. I feel that if I did I would not lose weight and possibly gain. 13 pounds down so far!! :)

I love that this tracks my heart rate while I am sleeping. It tells me how many times I tossed and turned at night and how long I actually slept. This is making me more health consistence, walking more. I am doing the daily challenge with co-workers who also have fitbits.

The Charge HR is a handy pedometer with some great additional features. In addition to the pairing with theFitbit website, the Charge HR keeps track of your heart rate, and will display your steps, stairs, calories burnt, and more. A couple of months wearing one (and some restraint) and I'm down 15 lbs. I use this device religiously, though the heart rate monitor seems a little off at times, it's close enough for my needs.

One of the best trackers in the market. Highly recommended if you are into fitness as it keep track of all your activities. The bonus feature is the 24/7 heart rate monitor. Charge lasts for about 5 days. Sleep cycle tracking is awesome - its missing the smart coach feature, hopefully the next upgrade will have it.

I was a little reluctant to get the Fitbit Charge HR because I had not had a good experience with the Flex a few years ago but wanted an activity tracker with a heart rate monitor that did not require a separate piece of equipment and the Charge HR was the best one for me. So far it has worked out fine but my FLex died after three months and I am just starting month two. I got the extended warranty this time just in case.

My wife loves this. Can monitor heart rate and sleep patterns. Provides a lot of information and is easy to use

Very good device for tracking steps, hr, and sleep. Battery life could be a little better.

I use my Fitbit every day looking at the numbers in front of me really got me motivated. I love to watch my numbers increase at the gym it shows your progress. I challenge myself every day to beat my own record. The fun part is my family and friends join that challenge and we have a fierce competition going on. Great idea for interaction. I Love it. I think it's important to monitor your heart rate, which mine has if your doing some serious excercises.

I have been using the fitbit application way before I have purchased my Charge HR. Like any other device/machine it will only be good as the user set it to be. It serves me well, calorie readings are pretty much on the dot. Heart Rating helps me well in running and even in the gym. Sleep feature is nice to have, I just don't have enough knowledge to use it to my advantage but good to know if i was sleeping well or not.

Pros: I like this fitness tracker's functions. It hits the sweet spot for what both my wife and I were looking for (we got one for her and one for me). We wanted a step counter, that also tracked heart rate as well as having a good online interface for tracking our statistics. I like the simple to access data on the Fitbit, and we both like the online statistics. I like being able to track and compare everything over time, and I like that it syncs and is accessible on our computers, tablets and phones. Cons: For me personally, the biggest problem is the exterior design. I don't think it looks all that great, the rubber band simply is not all that comfortable at times, and the sharp cornered edges catch on shirts and suit linings when you are putting your arms into them. You wouldn't think it's a big problem, but it has nearly torn the interior lining of multiple suit jackets, as well as my dress coat. For this last issue in particular I am not 100% sure I would purchase this device again. Frankly, it's not worth patching or taking items into the tailor. Since my major concern is isolated to wearing dress shirts and my dress coat (which I wear daily for work), I am not sure this is a concern for everyone. I don't notice the same problem with regular shirts, t-shirts, etc... Thus, it tends to catch with finer fabrics such as in the silkier inside lining of suits. For that reason, I would still recommend it IF you do not have the same work clothing concerns that I do.
