I read more reviews than I can remember about activity trackers. After a while I had it narrowed down to this and a Jawbone. What set this apart for me was the consistency of heart rate (according to reviews) and the auto-detected sleep mode. I've had this for over a month now and I've really enjoyed it. It helps keep you on your goals and it's great fun competing against friends.
Why not 5 stars? Sometimes the Fitbit loses my heart rate while I'm running and it's a pain having that gap in the record. It's happened a couple of times now, so I'm not sure if mine is just a little faulty, but it works well otherwise. I now run with the face on the other side of my wrist and I've only had it lose my heart rate once. I assume being closer to the veins on your wrist helps, but it's not comfortable for all day wear in that position.
If you aren't an intense exerciser and want to up your health game, I'd definitely recommend!

Very easy to set up and use. The heart rate monitor is accurate and like the sleep and diet functions. Would purchase this item again.

I am so pleased I bought the Fitbit Charge HR--I can learn so much information with it--from activities, sleep patterns, heart rate, calories that I have burned, and so much more. I also love the seamless way I can sync to my desktop. This is the first time in my life that I have logged food for the day and it is so easy with the Food Log. Now I am very serious about what I am eating and have lost about 7 pounds in 4 weeks. I love this Fitbit.

I purchased this watch for my wife as a gift. She likes it alot and uses it on a daily basis. The watch itself is a great size and isn't bulky at all. It's very simple to use and the features are awesome. The only thing that needs improvement on this watch is the battery life. When I spoke to the BestBuy experts they said it will last 4 - 6 days on one charge but she can barely get three days on it.

Easy to set up, love the watch feature & all the tracking capabilities. I had a Fitbit flex, & liked it but upgraded to this one for all the additional features. It does run smaller so I would recommend the large band if you wear a small Fitbit flex.

So I've been reading about the Fitbit since it came out. Had my eye on it. After working out all summer long with no visible results, I decided to dive on in. This thing is great! Tracks my heart rate so I know exactly how long I'm in each of my zones. Linked to LoseIt! app with zero effort so it can track my food intake too. Already down 5 lbs!

I bought this to replace my wife's Withings Pulse, which kept having inaccurate measurements and synching issues. The FitBit resolved all the issues and more with automatic sleep measurements as well. We started with the small band that should have fit according to the package chart, but it was just a bit too snug. Had to exchange the entire thing instead of just the band, but oh well. We are very happy with the FitBit Charge HR.

Gift for friend who wanted a fitness tracker with Heart rate monitor built in Hr monitor is very accurate and comfortable. Charge holds for about 3 days before needing recharge. Stair monitor is highly inaccurate, but step count is close. Love the app for monitoring progress but wish it would work with samsung health apps.

LOVE IT! I upgraded from the fitbit one and love all the extra features. It's so cool to see who is calling me and I don't have to look at my phone. It's so easy to check the time or my heart rate no matter where I am. I love that I can easily change the sequence of stats. It's very comfortable, the battery lasts 5 days and I am so glad I bought it.

I purchased this item as an incentive to get more active and it's addicting. I love all of the analysis it provides such as my sleep pattern (how long I slept and how many times I was restless). I love competing with fellow Fitbit owners for bragging rights. I would recommend that any female get the medium large version. I have extremely small wrists and I have to use the loosest hole in the band.

Bought one for me and one for my wife. It says you should be able to get up to 5 days out of the battery, but we've struggled to get 3. To get around it, I just put it on the charger while I'm in the shower each morning, seeing as it's not shower/waterproof. This keeps it almost always fully charged and mitigates the need to have it off my wrist for a couple hours twice a week and missing the data logging during that time while it recharges from almost dead.
The Fitbit app is pretty good, but sadly doesn't integrate directly with the iOS Health app. Something I wish they would work with Apple to fix. Overall it's just a mediocre device, but for the price, the biggest benefit is the heart rate logging and its small form factor.

I bought this Fitbit tracker because my wife works as a nurse and she wanted to track her activity at work. At work she is always on her feet and moving around all night. She also wanted to see how well she slept. This Fitbit was a great buy and I would definitely suggest buying it for anyone who wants to track their active lifestyle. Be sure to get the Charge HR and not the Charge if you want to track your heart rate.

this fitness band is one of the better ones I have used over the years. The app makes it really easy to track your progress see your goals and manage your settings. I really enjoy the sleep tracker and the fact that you do not have to actively tell it to track your sleep. I've found it to be pretty accurate in that area. The only thing that would have made it better is it being water resistant

I really wanted to get one of these when they first came out, but didn't think it was worth it. I love all the improved features this one has. I like seeing the number of steps, stairs climbed, heartrate, and my sleep patterns. Wow that was amazing to see how badly I sleep. I really love it and wish I would have gotten it sooner. Now that I see how little I walk I am always aiming to walk more to get that number higher.

Much happier with this Fitbit than with my earlier purchase of the Flex Fitbit. The Flex wristband was impossible to put on by one's self & not much easier with assistance. Easy to read & to monitor. Like that the sleep feature is automatic rather than to have to program it as one had to do with the Flex. Can easily see when my activity level needs boosting & reminds me to get up & MOVE!

The Fitbit HR is designed for anyone, any age, any degree of fitness. It can be used to motivate you to get up and move. You can track workouts, water and food consumption, calories, sleep, and heart rate. It is comfortable to wear and looks nice; more color options would be a plus. Since purchasing a Fitbit I have increased my workouts, runs, walks, and lost weight. I have been Fitbit-en!

I have a really small wrist so it is a little bit bigger on my wrist than I would like. I like it okay. It does force me to think a little more about moving around throughout the day. The charge does not last as long as I would like - less than a week. I have never had this type of device before so I don't have a lot to compare it to. Not sure if I'm loving it that much for the price.

This device tracks almost everything I need. The ease of tracking your calories is almost effortless. It contains the menus of almost all restaurants and foods. The heart-rate monitor is very accurate and tracks only your steps. Also, the sleep monitor tracks your actual sleep and restless hours. This device contains everything I need.
