    I got this device to track my exercise, but more so, my sleep pattern. I'm not deluded and think it it is 100% accurate, but it has helped me see why I am so tired in the mornings. Now I plan my sleeping, eating, and exercise times during the week. I only thing I wish, is that I had gotten the Blaze. I really like this device and it syncs well with my phones (iPhone/Note4).

    I love my Fitbit. It tracks my steps, heart rate, calories, etc. it also tracks my sleep periods as well as letting me know when I have a phone call. It is also stylish and waterproof. I have it on all day, everyday. They also make great gifts and I have purchased a few for friends and family. I do like the Surge a little better as you can read your text messages in it.

    I like the band better than the charge fitbit, but it stopped syncing with my iphone. I wanted the HR because I wanted to keep track of my heart rate.

    Good motivational tool to get moving. I needed something to show me just how much I was really sitting each day. I like being able to see the time when I turn my wrist.

    We got this for the girlfriend because she wants 1, a watch, 2, something that gives her notifications of calls/texts and 3, anything that keeps track of fitness. She originally wanted a Surge (this was right before the Blaze came out) because of the smart watch similarities with the touchscreen and the in depth notifications. I told her unless she's getting an Apple Watch, this would be more than enough for her. So on to the actual review, she loves it. She works as a registrar at the hospital so she either walks forever during her shift or walks nowhere. She wants to get back in shape and so far she has bothered me 5 times about getting a gym membership. She, for once, has started keeping track of her fitness and actually keeps this thing charged, which is more than I can say for her phone. So what started out as me doubting her commitment has become motivation for her health. Many people at my work are getting them and are starting fitness challenges and have since started taking the stairs more and more. I am even considering getting one myself as a better motivation to keep in shape. I cannot knock on these anymore as I have many friends that have shown results. I suggest this particular one because it is not overpriced and gives you everything neat and has excellent integration with the app. The heart rate monitor is handy to make sure you are not overworking yourself and because it does not have the touchscreen, it won't be a constant distraction like your phone is.

    I enjoy wearing my fitbit. I love how is tracks by steps and signals when I have met my goal. I only wish it would signal when battery is running low.

    Fortunately, my husband wears this handy gadget and enjoys its prompts when he has walked a certain number of steps. He/we still need to learn more about how it works.

    It does what it says it will do on the box. It even monitors your sleep patterns! I've loved it so far and get many questions and compliments about it throughout the day.

    When trackeing your heart rate, needs to be charged more often. Would like to have more types of notification ( such as no movement in the last hour).

    I have to start by saying I am not a workout junkie or a fitness person really at all. However I love the Fitbit Charge HR. It gives me a goal to work towards and it has helped me figure out that I was not getting as much sleep as I thought. It works great with the occasional slip up. I have had once or twice going up my stairs at home where it counted the steps but not the stairs. However it doesn't happen that often. I also love the app and the fact that I can be competitive with friends or just myself. Really a great tool to help you take better care of yourself.

    It has been working great, and the web site dashboard is helpful in analyzing the data. Could have easier help menu but I've figured most things out.

    The Fit Bit tells me exactly how much sleep I receive each night. Being a chronic insomniac, this is important. Also, it reminds me of how much exercise I am NOT getting.

    The Fitbit Charge HR is an awesome motivating tool. It has many features that encourage me to meet my daily 10,000 steps. And also an alarm that rouses me in the morning.

    I purchased as gift for wife, she used the calorie counter maybe for a week. Not much value, counts steps, let's her know if she slept well (I can too).

    I like the automatic sleep and activity tracking. Also long battery life. It didn't earn my 5 star because it's not shower or swim-friendly and OLED display turns off after a few seconds, which gets annoying. Also I had some issues syncing with my iPhone 6. I had to reset my Fitbit and reinstall the app from my iPhone a couple of times to work. Most of all, I don't know why they didn't use the normal USB micro jack or cable to charge it. I have to carry the cable with me when I travel and if I forget or lost it, it's not easy to find a store who carries it.

    I had the Flex for a while but once they released the new version of the Charge with Heart Rate Monitor now, I just couldn't resist upgrading! Haven't looked back once!
