The Fitbit HR is a terrific activity monitor. It counts the number of your steps (supposedly) but I have no way to prove it's accuracy. I heard some people just move their arm to get a count even though they are NOT actually walking or running. The Device makes me more aware of my overall activity and it is doing it's job of making me want to walk more. I like that it has step tracking feature, the heart rate monitoring and alerts. I gave it 4 stars because I would have liked it if the tracker automatically prompts me to get up every hour to stretch or walk away from my desk. it is hard for me to take a break from what I am doing and time just flies on by. Aside from that, having 8 total alerts will just have to work then.
Hope this helps.

I love this FitBit! Keeping track of how many steps you take during the day is actually a lot of fun! However, I think that it counts as a step if you swing your arms front to back even I f you're stationary. I found the heart rate feature useful for tracking my sleep. It even registers how many times and also how long you are restless or wake up during sleep.
Do not get this wet though! This device is NOT waterproof. It should be though....this is something a person would like to wear 24/7, in my opinion.

Fitbit Charge HR works great, and using the iPAD is excellent. I manage to lose weight and improve overall shape. My wife was impressed with the results and the fact you can see your sleep patterns and ended up by bying hers too.

Innacurate! Does not track steps accurately, so it serves no purpose.

This Fitbit takes care of all my needs in one device! Love the heart rate monitor and all the items you can follow on the app. The size small was too small for me so I exchanged it for a large and had no problems.

This product is awesome. It motivates me to keep active and it gives me clues on my health and metabolism. I love the feature that keeps track of your sleep automatically. The heart rate reader is a must. The improvement from other trackers without the heart rate is tremendous. It is also nice looking to wear. I've seen others and they just look too bulky on my small wrist. I just love it and find it hard to take it off.

Best and accurate fitness tracker
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have been using my Fitbit Charge HR for over 3 weeks, its comfortable to wear, unlike some other fitness bands which might fall off, this one has the belt strap buckle so it doesn't fall off, looks great, the display aligned to your hand makes it easy to read. Regarding the accuracy, the steps counted & the distance covered is more than 95% accurate, i measured it by walking & running on the treadmill. For a distance of 1 mile on the treadmill, it counted ~0.98 mile & steps counted is around 2400. Number of floors counted actually counts only if we continuously climb/take stairs for at least 10ft for counting as 1 floor. For calories burnt there is one catch, even if you keep away your charge HR, it keeps counting the calories burnt, when I talked to the customer support, they said its due to Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) which include breathing, heartbeat, brain activity,.. Overall its a good fitness tracker.

Fantastic fitness and heart rate tracker

The Charge HR is a phenomenal product, and it has many features that make it perfect for a smart-wrist tech that is not a smart-watch. The silent alarm works great, tracks steps accurately, and constantly updates heart rate (unlike the Apple Watch).
The Cons:
Not waterproof (I understand why, but isn't this 2016 :P)
Stair count is often way wrong
Easily scratched

I still love this FitBit. I love the heart rate feature. My only complaint is that I wish it held a charge longer. The older models hold a charge for days longer

Before purchasing my Fitbit Hr I read many reviews and did my research everyone was so positive about the Fitbit and painted the perfect picture so I got my self this as my birthday present (9/4) and was supper excited to try. The set up was easy, the app was awesome, the syncing was a bit annoying (it has trouble syncing with the iPhone 6). After the second day I wore it I started to notice a discrepancy on the steps and the calories, the only thing that was accurate was the heart rate. I would walk from my dresser to my night stand and it would give me 60 steps (its no more than 20 steps away) I would take it off at night and wake up to 280 cals burnt! I live on the top floor and it would not count my stairs, I walk a lot at work (medical field) and I would burn 2x the calories in an hour walking than an hour at the gym doing weight/ cardio! I get in the car and it gives me steps for just sitting in the car and counts the hills as stairs while driving. I AM SO DISAPOINTED ON THE FITBIT :( or maybe I had high hopes for it, I'm not sure where many are getting the "accurate readings" from maybe people are not paying CLOSE attention to what the band is actually reading and how much activity you do because there is NO WAY all the calories/steps/ stairs it says you did are accurate at all. I usually don't write reviews but I felt like this one deserves one and I hope it helps someone. If you're looking for an activity tracker/ a make you feel good band this is it because you'll be feeling like an athlete with this one LOL.

I have had it for 1 week and it operates great. Only problem is it will not sync to laptop. Synced great with iPhone. Also, some might find the bright green lights disturbing at night. I just put my arm under the pillow.

Some fun info, but not accurate

While there are certainly features that I like, I can't get over how inaccurate the heart rate monitor is during exercise. This morning I ran a max effort 800m sprint in 2:40. I was gasping for breath. My fitbit said my HR was 131. I did 50 KB swings at 64lbs and it said my hr was 120. There is absolutely no way that is accurate. Not even close. It is so off that it gives me more credit for walking my dogs than does for taking a Crossfit class. I've actually never even seen it pick up anything over 135.
For people that are looking for a device to motivate them to move more, then this is it. The sleep tracker is wonderful, too. Many people underestimate the importance of a good nights rest. I also like that it vibrates on my wrist for phone calls since my phone is usually on silent. It's light weight and not bothersome to wear all day and night.
I like the strapless feature for day to day, but this needs an optional strap add on more more accurate workout readings. Otherwise I think it needs to go back...
