    I do believe this Fitbit Charge HR is one of the best for people beginning to track steps and sleep! The heart rate monitor is pretty accurate, the sleep tracking is very good! The mobile app is awesome! Now, the only downfall to this Charge HR, is that it is not waterproof! Plus, I didn't really care for the look of it! I returned this item, only because I missed my waterproof Garmin activity tracker! That being said, my kids, ages 21,19 and 16, plus my mother age 67 all have the Fitbit Charge HR and love them! So, if you don't care about waterproofing, you can't go wrong with this product!

    Although I am not sure of the total accuracy of the stats, I really like the product and wear it pretty much all the time. I do have to charge it about every third day not 5 though. It keeps me aware of how active I am and the stats help motivate me to get up and be active to improve my results.

    I wish there were more in between sizes, but the box has a nice way to measure which size you should get. The phone app is a competitive fun way to challenge friends.

    Purchased this item for my mother for Christmas and she loved the color. I had a black charge HR myself but it didn't even last a year. Customer support is very good about honoring the warranty inside the 1 year. I wouldn't purchase another fitbitbproduct for myself.

    If you want your basic heart rate monitor for health and fitness this is right for you, if you want a heart rate monitor for extreme exercises then this is not for you since the fitbit can only track accurately only resting heart rate other then that its a great product

    I've had the Charge HR since Christmas. Love all that it can do. Haven't had a chance yet to set all of my goals yet but I will be doing that soon. My only issue is that it is supposed to last 4-5 days until the next charge and mine seems to need it every other day.

    This Fitbit tracks everything perfectly (except that it calculates your movements into footsteps). It also gives you information on your sleep, whether you were in a comfort sleep or you had no proper sleep. I will recommend this if someone wants to keep track of calories and heart rate.

    I wear it more than I thought. I don't usually wear watches. I like the HR monitoring and the sleep tracking. The step counting was surprisingly accurate. The syncing and initial startup was very easy. I would like some options to change color or style once in awhile.

    The Fitbit Charge HR does everything it says it does! The heart monitor feature is really nice as well. The only compliant I would have is that sometimes the running mileage doesn't sync up to other apps - I use the Map My Run app and the mileage isn't always the same.

    My FitBit HR works well. Does what I expect it to do. Only problem is that I have to recharge it after two to three days of use. My husband has the FitBit charge and goes at least seven days before he has to charge it. I'm really disappointed in its charging life.

    I switched from my Jawbone Up24. Great change. I like how it automatically calculates your sleep and how you can track your workout from the tracker.

    The Fitbit HR does some really cool tracking. Features I like...when I sync with my phone, and someone calls...it scrolls across the Fitbit with their name while vibrating. It also tracks my sleep patterns...not sure how it does this. It knows when I've been sleeping...It knows when I'm awake...they should call it Fitbit Santa Claus! The heart rate tracking is also very helpful during workouts.

    i love my Fitbit charge. I had a Fitbit Flex but the Charge is so much nicer. The watch is great because I had to wear a watch when I used the Flex. Can check my heart rate any time I like. The battery charge lasts much longer than the Flex battery. I have already recommended it to friends

    The ChargeHR is a great addition to my fitness plan. The information provided about steps, stairs, and heart rate combined with the sleep information has been really helpful. Using the Fitbit app on the phone and my computer in conjunction has resulted in my sticking with my fitness goals.

    This product works flawlessly! Everyone should own one! I highly recommend it for keeping track of exercise and diet . Heart rate monitor very useful. Only upgrade that would be nice is a way to recognize steps on a stairmaster.

    I love my fit bit. It definitely holds you accountable and keeps you going to reach your goal. You have the ability to set goals, challenge friends that also have a fit bit and workout together in a sense.

    Very useful now that fitbit has models with screens that read out more than just dots. This tells time, heart rate (if you have the HR version) steps, and stairs. It's fairly customizable and the battery lasts about 5 days for me which works well for the work week.

    Bought one for my girlfriend

    I bought one for my girlfriend, same time I bought mine. Fitbit.com makes it easy to track each other's fitbit data, making it easy to see certain things and motivate each other when you notice someone slacking. Certain elements are not viewable, which would be nice if that was a privacy option, such as the heartrate graph; I cant see hers and she can't see mine. The other downside, is that if you want to view your friends data, you can't see it from the app either, you have to literally log in to the website. Some options are also not easy to find, like your weight projection, and most often youll find yourself searching for five minutes for an option that you came across in passing, only to get frustrated and finally locate it by accident. For the most part its a good tool, but this is definitely a stopgap from the Fitbit Charge, and the more expensive Surge. Not worth the $150 price tag; but also way better than spending $250 on the extremely overpriced surge.
