Customer Ratings & Reviews

My husband and I are trying to get healthy and the Fitbit is helping us do just that. We are more conscious of how many steps we are taking each day. Our goal is 10,000 per day. It also monitors your sleep so you know how many hours of sleep you are really getting. Overall great buy!

I had a flex for a few years and it was fine. Never seemed super accurate and it was you basically got what you paid for. The charge HR is awesome. Great size, more accurate and really makes me work to get my steps in. The fact that is kinda doubles as a simple smart watch is also a plus.

It works great. I bought it in Feb 2015 and I can get about 4 days of use off every charge. It seems to accurately track my steps. It doesn't always count a flight of stairs unless your swinging your arms. I do like the weekly email updates it sends so I can see how I've done overall. I enjoy the different badges you earn as well when you accomplish milestones. Overall it's a great product and has made me more conscious of how many steps I'm taking and gets me to try to increase my steps on a daily and weekly basis. It was worth the money I spent to purchase.

Wish you could select continuous HR. When trying to maintain a constant HR you have to keep tapping it for display to come up. Battery doesn't last as long as advertised but probably because I activate the display frequently, especially while in the gym.

This fitbit is very nice. It can monitor your heart beat all the time, even when you are asleep. The heat beat monitor is very accurate. In addition, it can monitor all your activity to let you have a good idea about your activity and the progress on your goals. It's really useful.

Unit tracks movement, food & water intake, exercise & sleep (the primary reason for purchase). Battery life could be better. Had to turn off movement display feature and all day heart rate monitor to get it to an acceptable amount of time between charges.

I had Fitbit products before and loved the easy Internet and myfitnesspal integration, but lost the products and was waiting for a wristband version. The Charge HR was worth the wait. It is simply easy to use and has all of the features I need. It syncs seamlessly with the iPhone so I can monitor my heart rate on the treadmill without looking at the watch. At the same time, I set up the convenient quick tap feature so I can easily check heartrate on the phone. I love challenging and cheering my husband, the competition has kept us walking to achieve our 10000 steps a day. Battery holds out a good 5 days. Not the prettiest but I've been using it everyday for a month and love it to track calories burned against food logged in my Fitness Pal. I'm staying on track and losing weight!

Took a little effort at first to get the FitBit to sync with the phone app. Had to connect by USB to sync and get software update, then the phone app synced. Battery life is OK at approximately 3-4 days. Continuous heart rate and sleep tracking are plusses.

Initially I purchased this for my wife. She loved it but quickly began to complain about having to adjust the heartbeat monitor that is not built in on this particular model (chest strap). So I gave it to my daughter and she uses it without the heart rate monitor, and she loves it! She loves tracking her steps and sleep patterns and she's eight, very simple to use even for a child!

I really love my Fitbit Charge HR. I have only two complaints. I wish it had a better battery life. I find I have to charge it every 3 to 4 days just to make sure it doesn't run out of battery life. My second complaint is that I wish it was more water proof.

i was skeptical of using something other than my phone for my pedometer and super skeptical of the heart rate monitor but it works well. I'm sad that it's not water proof like the surge but I charge it when I shower so I don't worry about the water damage.

My wife upgraded from the flex to this model. She likes this one much more due to the actual number of steps, heart rate, stairs climbed etc instead of just dots. She's very happy with it. I'm sure I'll be buying the newest model next year as well since we also own the aria scale.

Great tracker but has the tendency to pick up extra hand motions. (Ex:Combing/brushing hair). I wear my CHarge HR daily but I'm a little annoyed with having to charge every two days. Overall it serves it's purpose well and would definitely recommend.

Although I haven't used it to it's fullest potential yet, I am happy with what it does. I like keeping track of my heart rate and am amazed at how well it tracks my sleep patterns. Amazing to know how much sleep time I am actually getting...or lacking!

I LOVE my Fitbit! I am a person who works out five days a week, but I had no idea how much energy I was expending and how many steps I took a day. I also didn know how much I was sleeping either. But after using my Fitbit I'm now able to see everything at the touch of a finger!!

Have had it for a couple of weeks now and have to say I love it. Love the sleep tracking and hearth monitor. I found is better to have it a little loose and I get a great reading. Battery is decent, longest I have gone without a charge is 2 days and that only lowers it to about 60%.

This is my 3rd Fitbit product. I started with the Flex when it was the newest one available and moved on to the Charge when it came out. My Charge fell apart after some abuse but after research I decided that the Charge or Charge HR was the best option for me. I am pleased with the HR. It is more substantial than the basic Charge. I definitely prefer the buckle over the 'snap' that the basic Charge and Flex use. As for the HR monitor, I like the fact that it can be disabled. I only activate it when I am actually interested in knowing what my heart rate is - it's not something that I need to monitor 24/7. I replaced my Flex with the Charge because I wanted the upgrade. The Charge HR wasn't available at the time. I should have waited... The Charge HR is the better option. I'm just hoping that it holds up better than the Charge - with less abuse from me, too.

As silly as it may sound, this gadget will NOT make you lose weight. It does however seem to motivate me (and others) to get out there and move that body. It is a wonderful adjunct to getting onto a healthier path and living a better lifestyle. From a medical provider standpoint, my soapbox as always is to remember always to exercise to the best of your abilities, and watch how much and the quality of your food intake. Otherwise, great product. Battery could be better (4.5 days or so, with auto heart rate.. not constant). Worst part of this product is the plastic screen, scratched 45 min out of the box when bumping it on the kitchen countertop. Be wary of those countertops, they jump.

I recently upgraded from a Fitbit Flex to HR. The Flex served me well and really liked the fact that I could leave it on all the time including showering, but it lacked some of the functionality that the HR provided. I like the HR for a couple reasons, it constantly tracks my HR and calories burned. Another feature that is nice is the caller ID that is displayed. It is nice when our biking or working out to see if I need to take the call or continue to work out where in the past I would have either missed the call or stopped my workout to see who called. Overall, I would recommend the HR. Fitbit customer support is excellent as well.

Waited a long time for my Fitbit Charge HR. Wanted the clock function, but waited for the heart rate monitor. Works fine. Syncs with the app. Simple and trouble free. My only comment is that it needs to be charged every 4 days, not 5 as advertised. Very satisfied with this purchase.
