Very comfortable fit, provides simplistic one touch button to navigate the display, and a much more in depth app. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to track your daily steps, or more importantly, your heart rate. Tested against other HR tools and seems to be super accurate.

My 5-Star review is based on how this product performs relative to how it is advertised.
I had concern about how a product like this measures your distance walked. I have no idea how it operates, but in comparing known distances of from .7 miles to 4+ miles the Fitbit Charge HR was within about 5% +/- of actual. What is more important (to me anyway) is that it measures the distance consistently. If you want something more accurate, you might want to opt for a device with built-in GPS. While that might be better for some folks it also costs about $100 more and to me is not worth it. What I like is to be able to monitor my relative activity level consistently from one day to the next and this does the trick.
My primary physical activity is jogging and walking and this seems to do a good job measuring HR. I have used various HR monitors with chest straps over the years so I have a pretty good idea of what my HR should be based on a given level of exertion and this is definitely in the ballpark. Again, if you want something more accurate, opt for the pure heart monitor with the chest strap.
Set-up was a breeze. It paired immediately to my iPhone 5s and I love the information presentation on the dashboard.
I charge the device about every 4 days and from a near dead battery to fully charged is, as advertised, about 2 hours.
With a device like this, you are giving up a little accuracy for the convenience of a device that is very comfortable to wear round the clock. For me, for daily use, this is a very good trade-off. I am a very satisfied customer..

Previously owned a Garmin Vivosmart that worked well for a year then the display became hard to read along the edges. Switched to Fitbit since it integrates with more partners, like Walgreens. Been using it since Christmas and have no major complaints. HR readings seem accurate. Only downer is battery lasts five days compared to Garmin's seven, but it wasn't a heart rate monitor.

I like this FitBit overall. It is a little tricky to use in that there are specifications as to where you should wear it best on your wrist. I feel that it didn't monitor my sleep times as accurately as it should have. It is very good in detecting all the rest of the features though. Overall, a good buy.

I have been wearing the Charge HR for about 6 weeks. It truly changes the way I exercise and keeps me motivated. The most surprising part is the sleep tracker. It is amazing how your sleep is impacted by your lifestyle (eating late, watching TV until going to bed, having a few drinks, exercising...etc.) Your sleep quality reflects that!

This is a great fitness tracker. I love the fact that I can get a better picture of my true calorie burn with the heart rate tracking. With that said, there are a couple of things you need to be aware of.
1. Uses a USB cable with a custom connector. It is small and a bit of a pain to connect. Also, I can see this being easy to lose. I have lost it a couple of times myself and missed a couple of days tracking while I hunted it down.
2. This can irritate your skin if you dont clean/maintain the band surface properly. I ended up getting a small rash where the "head" contacts my wrist. From online forums, I found that others were experiencing similar issues. To fix this, I use a nightly swipe of the unit with a cotton ball and astringent to clean it. Problem solved. Yes, this is a pain but, I find it to be worth it. Just another part of my daily routine :)

I purchased the Charge HR a week after receiving the regular Charge as a gift. I bought the HR model as I really wanted the heart rate monitor. After about 2 weeks of use, I have been pleased with the HR. On the positive side, I like the size and overall functionality. The heart monitor is great and I like the incoming call alert. This allows me to leave my phone on silent and not bother anyone with phone going off.

I really wanted the up 3 by jawbone but since they are taking forever to release it i got this instead . Its a pain in the but to set up and every one i know had to call customer service to get it synced and working but after that its great . The best part is challenging friends thats fun and you can see the progress that one thing is what made me choose this over the microsoft band .

I have been out of commission for the last year. Decided I wanted to start out slowly. I have a friend at work who mentioned she had one and loved it. I check out some reviews and decided to get one for me and my wife. We love ours. Me? I jumped right in with 20K steps and now up to 30-40K a day. I have two autistic sons who now want one for Christmas. This thing is one of the smartest ideas in a while. We love them

Very good tracker. I am huge fan of Fitbit. I bought this as a gift for someone. I have had a Charge HR and the Fitbit Blaze. I love my Fitbit Blaze the best due to it being similar to an Apple Watch but the Charge HR definitely delivers if you want relatively accurate heart rate and to track your steps. My Fitbit has been a huge part of my success in losing 70+ pounds this year. Work Week Hustle Challenges with your friends/family/coworkers is a great motivator through the Fitbit app.
As far as this specific tracker...it's great. Can't go wrong if you are in the market for one. And especially gotta go with the PINK especially for the female friends!
