Pretty much as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything you would think this activity tracker would do this fitbit charge hr does pretty good. This is my first activity tracker so I do not know how this compares to the garmin,jawbone products. The tracking is good, Only gripe with this is i wake up with 6-800 steps in the morning. So i either sleep-walk or its counting steps for movement while i sleep. I also have never had a hr monitor before either but i feel its accurate enough for an idea of your current hr instead of an exact number. I did experience skin rash on my left wrist after about 2 weeks of wearing it, still unable to figure out why/how it was caused i.e Band or clasp

Fantastic fitness tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The FitBit is a great little device! It has so many features. Tracks steps, exercise, heart rate, sleep, etc... Everyday I find more people using one, and you can have mini-competitions with friends.

Great Fitness Tracker But Not Perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from a Fitbit Flex, and I miss the waterproof feature of the flex. Sometimes when I'm driving uphill, my Fitbit Charge HR tracks that I am going up stairs. The heartrate sensor isn't perfectly accurate, but it's pretty close. I do think that the Charge HR is more accurate at counting steps than the Flex. I love being able to wear one device--this has replaced my watch! The charge lasts about 4 days for me, though I wish they would update the software to include a battery update in the device, rather than in the app or via email. Overall, though, I'm really happy with it, and keeping track of my steps has gotten me more active.

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is great. I like the steps, heart rate, activity types, sleep information, and the website. I just wish it was waterproof. I forget to take it off in the shower.

Great product & Great activity tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So happy with the product itself and the application that tracks all the data. Extremely user friendly with a very easy setup process so you are off and running tracking your activity with minimal effort. Love the daily logging for the food consumption to track calories and the water consumption. Its one of those things where if its on you mind you make better decisions. Absolutely love the silent alarm and the sleep tracking with reflective data as well. My only criticism is I really wish the device was waterproof so it can be left on no matter what the activity. Continuous heart rate monitor is practically 100% identical with the heart rate monitors on the equipment when I check its accuracy.

Great first fitness tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple to use, app for iPhone tracks sleep. Love HR feature to watch for potential issues. Great feature to use with phone to alert to phone call when sound is down or phone ringer hard to hear.

Love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does what it claims to do. I use the clock, heart rate, steps and sleep applications the most, and they help keep me motivated to keep going. I would recommend the Fit Bit Charge HR to anyone.

Simply Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been wearing my Fitbit Charge HR for about 3 months now and I have to say I love it. I made the right decision without a doubt. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and watching comparison videos before deciding to make the purchase and I could not be happier. Dont sweat the few negative reviews out there. This is the number 1 selling activity band for a reason. I wear it on my non dominate wrist and I must say it has been amazing accurate at tracking pretty much everything I do in a day. Yes you can spent hundreds more on a smart watch that provides alerts etc. but is no good at true activity tracking. Save the money and buy the right tool for the job, the Fitbit Charge HR.

How much exercise do you get? This can tell you.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After trying a smart watch, this is the device I'm staying with. Does a fine job of monitoring my heart rate and activity. The heart rate isn't as accurate as a chest band, but this is much more convenient. I was actually surprised how much activity I already get, despite thinking of myself as highly sedentary (work in IT), I put on a few miles each working day, and I hit my stairs at home a dozen times a day on the weekend. Most valuable to me are the sleep measurements. I wasn't expecting this to be a great value, but I was surprised to find out how restless I am most nights, and how often I wake up without remembering that I did so! This has helped me make changes to my sleep already.

Actually a 4.5, but a great product!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wrist band- Comfy but sometimes a pain to get attached. Nice color-but had I thought about it Black is a better color- it goes with everything, Ease of Charge- Very easy and very fast. I need to recharge about every 3 days. Readout on wristband- would be nice to have 1 function stay on as you like- like the heart rate when I am exercising. Clear numbers, bright read out App on phone- Syncs faster to phone. Easy to read. Sadly I don't use all the functions like I should. On my desktop- slow to sync and not all will sync such as my sleep tends to take longer. I like that I can easily see my patterns such as steps, and sleep. With this I have been able to work on improving my sleep

Great product and easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Fitbit HR as I wanted a device to see how far I walked each day and to monitor my heart rate. It does both of these well. It is easy to use and was also very easy to add to my phone.

Good Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: The heart rate feature appears to be really accurate. The calorie counter also seems to agree with a couple of other items I have. The step counter and mile meter can be a bit skewed, but you get a decent feel for how much you did or didn't move around. The smartphone software makes it fun and interesting to track your progress, alone or against friends. Cons: It uses the battery up in 2 - 3 days (although re-charging doesn't take that long). The unit sometimes releases from the charging connector. It appears to use a decent amount more PHONE battery when your smartphone is monitoring your progress

First Fitbit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never owned a Fitbit before, so I chose this one because of all the good reviews. Personally I think it's ok. I see they have a variety of new options always coming out, and not quite sure if I chose the right one. Overall the band isn't irritating to wear and functions great. The battery life leaves something to be desired, I have to charge every two days and I don't wear it to bed, The best thing about this model (could be on others as well) is challenging friends to daily, weekly and weekend step activities. It has really motivated my dad to walk more, just so he can have the bragging rights.

Luv my Fitbit - HR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Plum color Fitbit Charge HR. I have an office/desk job for a warehouse so I am somewhat active but wasn't sure how much. So this tracks my steps and heart rate to see how active or unactive I am. I do like the band compared to just the regular Fitbit as the band looks like it would be easy to break and fall off. I wear my FB everyday and it helps me to be more conscious of my activity level. It great too that its a watch. I don't wear watches as they can be uncomfortable wearing them and the batteries always die. This I plug in at night every couple of days and charge it up. No more batteries. I wear it to bed as it tracks my sleep. I am very happy with it.

Great tracker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had my Fit Bit Charge for a little over a month now. It really does a great job tracking my steps, stairs, exercise & food. Easy to put in your food and track how many calories you have left for the day. The readout on the tracker is easy to use as well as the app & computer site. It stays charged for about 4-5 days. I also link up with my husbands account so we can compete with each other regarding steps, etc. Also tracks your sleep. I like that you don't have to push the button to tell it you are working our or going to bed - it does both on its own though you can push the button if you want to be exact.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my parents as gifts and they really enjoy the multiple applications that they can view - sleep, steps, heart rate, etc. The app is also really great and easy to use as well.

Great Product, love it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, works as advertised. One thing I do have to say is getting a 5 day battery life while using the heart rate monitor is VERY hard. It is more like 4 days. If you turn that off when you don't need it, you can get a few more days from it. Great way to track your steps throughout the day. The the app for my phone, you can input your goals, weight, water intake, food/calories you eat( the app even knows food menus for restaurants) and it can help you be competitive with your friends!

Great HR monitor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: it's a very accurate heart rate monitor, app is easy to use on your phone, durable Cons: the only con I have is that the battery might last a full 5 days one charge then the next it could be dead in 2 and usually I'm not checking it a lot so I don't know why it's not a more consistent battery life but overall I'm very happy with it I'm a firefighter and primarily bought it just to track my heart rate at work vs home but once I got it I realized how much more it could do and it's pretty awesome everyone I talked to pointed me to this one over any of the competitors and I'm pretty satisfied with it

Great Product - So Many Features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am loving the fact that it tracks my sleep. I knew I was restless at night but didn't realize how much. Now I can try to figure out why and get better sleep. It is nice to see how my heart rate changes during different activities as I am trying to get more fit. I love that you can link up with friends and have challenges, it definitely gets me moving more. Love that it has an app that you can track what you are eating, your exercise, water drank, and weight. It is an all in one app. I can tell it if I want to lose weight, or maintain or gain, and it tells you if you are eating enough or not enough for your goal. It is a very cool tool for tracking your health.

Works great, not totally happy with band
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to be able to check heart rate so needed this level (Charge HR) or higher. I like the way this Fitbit works and the app but I really dislike the band. The app is good on its own but doesn't work with IOS health app without using a third party app which is too bad. The Fitbit allows for certain control customization which I like. For example I can tap it to get a heart rate reading rather than having to scroll through pushing the button. The band annoys me. It's quite wide and I would have preferred it tapered some and some other clasp. I haven't worn a watch in years and that could be why it bugs me.
