Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fun to use..never thought I would use this but my granddaughter showed me hers and told me everything it did. Counting steps, measuring sleep, heartbeat, food intake and calories burned...I am inspired to get healthier.

I really love my fitbit charge HR. I had the fitbit charge before this one and fell in love. I prefer the HR's band, it's much more stable than the original charges's and I enjoy the heart rate monitor. My only complaint is the battery life. My charge only need charged once a week while the HR needs it every 3 days. I often forget about the battery and then it dies on me while I'm away from home.

Only big complaint is doesn't hold charge as long as I expected. Only a couple of days! It does register over 300 calories used before I ever put it on in the morning. Good heart rate , steps, !

The Fitbit Charge HR has exceeded my expectations. It's such an accurate, convenient way to measure physical activity from day to day. It definitely keeps you honest about how much you're actually up and moving each day. The Charge HR is really nice for workouts too. The continuous heart rate monitoring provides an excellent summary of the nature of exercise (Fat Burn vs. Cardio vs. Peak) as well as just a basic output of the number of "Active Minutes" per day. One other really nice feature is the Sleep Analysis (assuming you wear the Fitbit to bed). It's really nice to be able to look back over the past 5 days, week, etc. to see, on average, how much sleep you're actually getting.

It accurately tracks steps, heart rate, sleep patterns, and everything else. Works exactly as advertised and the app is easy to use and follow. A must have for anyone who is trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

Purchased as a gift and it does it all. Sleep, heart, steps. Everything. Note: it should be worn further up the arm than a watch and loosely. Which means that if fits tight and hen purchase the next size larger.

Pros: easy to use, supported on my iMac and iPhone. Many food items already in database. I love that it keeps track of heart rate and sleep patterns. Cons: pricey, bulky on my arm, not fashionable.

The Fitbit HR is better than the other FitBits - lots of good data without overloading. Also like looking at my IPhone and see how I am tracking - calories, steps, and hear rate. I have found that looking at the steps makes me get up and walk because the goal is 10,000 steps a day. I do wish it would hold a charge better; I am averaging having to charge it every 3 days. However, it doesn't take me that long to charge so I do it when I will be sitting at my desk for a bit. The only negative is I believe the Fitbit should come in different band sizes - the small is almost too small and the large is large. However, I liked the FITBIT so well that I bought 2 for Christmas gifts -- and it is fun to compare progress with each other.

I'm not athletic or into fitness, but I do walk every day. Because I can now track how far I am walking and my heart rate, I am able to push myself a little more because I can actually see proof of how much (or how little) I am actually doing. I have the fitbit Charge HR, which does not have the built-in reminder to get up and move once an hour, but the newer model, the Charge 2, does have it. I appreciate weekly summary emails from fitbit and the silly--but motivating--"badges" you earn for reaching certain milestones in your fitness routine. I also appreciate the sleep tracking feature. I have only had my fitbit for about a month, so it is too early yet to say how durable it--and the non-replaceable band--will be. I do not have an Android phone or i-phone, so must rely on the on-line dashboard on my computer. It provides a lot of good and varying ways to look at my exercise and sleep data if I want to see more than just that day's data. My fitbit band shows me my data for the current 24-hour period. A small complaint: the instructions say you must be within 3 feet of your computer (or smart phone) to sync your fitbit. Not true for mine. I have to take my fitbit off and place it on or right next to my computer. It isn't the easiest band to get on and off. Also, since no user manual comes with it, it would be helpful to have the URL address where it can be obtained included in the box. I discovered it on my own--after a week--by a circuitous route of links while looking for something else. Set-up also did not go according to instructions and had to be attempted several times. Overall, this was a good buy.

I've been using my Fitbit since the day I purchased it. I was looking for something with a heart rate monitor for exercise, as that more accurately determines calories burned. It's comfortable and seems to read accurately. I finally bought the Fitbit to get myself motivated to move. It worked! I love being able to track everything on the app. My exercise calories don't seem to sync well with my LoseIt! app, but that my be user error. I need to do more research on that part. The charge also doesn't seem to hole for 5 days. I charge it about every 3. That's not that big of a deal to me as it charges very quickly. Overall, I find it to be an awesome tool for my fitness goals. I pay much closer attention to what I am doing and eating now.

Great battery life.. 5 to 7 days per charge. Soft band. Easy to use and sync. Highly accurate step and sleep tracking. Well-designed mobile app with data presented in easy-to-understand graphs

This is great for reaching optimal heart rate, keeping track of steps and distance, etc. The only drawback is remembering to take it off in wet conditions like before immersing wrist in water.

The first one of these I had was defective and I had to return it for a replacement. Best Buy exchanged it without one iota of trouble. In any case, I love this Fitbit. It really has helped me to keep motivated and moving so that I can stay fitter and lose wight (9 pounds so far!). I love that I can check on my heart rate while excersizing (so I know if I have to work harder) and love that it tracks my sleep. (Yes, I'm sleeping as poorly as I thought. It validated what I thought with evidence). I'm already lobbying my Dad to get one! I took one star away because the first one was a lemon and because the watch sometimes comes on in the night - wow, that can be bright!!

I bought this for my wife because the "Charge" I had previously bought for her was lost when it fell off her wrist due to poor latch design. Anyways, she really liked the Charge, but didn't want to lose another one, so we decided the "HR" was the way to go because of the actual watch like clasp on the band. She really likes the HR, but is disappointed how much shorter the battery life is. The HR lasts only about half the time of a Charge. We figured it was because of the constant heart rate monitoring and it's probably using the same battery as the Charge. In the end, she still loves it, and uses it everyday. -1* for much shorter than expected battery life.

I was initially very please with the product. I had read reviews that said that it was inaccurate, etc. I measured my steps without moving my arms and found it to be accurate. At the gym, the heart rate was pretty much the same as the sensors on the elliptical measured. The charge is supposed to last between 5-7 days. The first week it did. I purchased the Charge HR on 6/25/2015. The time between when it needs to be charged has gradually decreased. I charged it fully on Tuesday. It's now Friday 7/24 and my battery was about dead. I know Best Buy has a 15 day return policy so I called the 800 number to explain the situation and ask if it could be returned only to be told that I would need to contact the manufacturer. I'm not happy that I can't return a faulty product to the store for a refund. BTW I call about 3 days ago. I will contact the manufacturer which will be much more of a hassle and time consuming than just returning it to the store. I don't think I will make any more purchases from Best Buy for this reason.

I bought this product as a gift for my nephew. He just loved it. It accurately tracks your steps, sleep, heart rate etc and very useful in your daily life especially while you are tracking your fitness.

This is a really great tracker, whether your tracking steps, heart rate, or sleep patterns. The display that shows the date and time is also pretty handy

This was an unsolicited gift, but I am enjoying it. Comfortable to wear. It's hard to hit the 10k step goal when I work a desk job, but it's good motivation to park farther away and move around more. My favorite is the all day heart rate monitor, sleep and active minute tracking. The heart rate monitor is a little finicky when at the gym and doesn't track well during high intensity exercise which is a little disappointment because it won't always show my peak heart rate.

By far, my best purchase yet the last few years! I cannot get enough of this product. I needed a heart rate monitor due to my rate getting too high when I run. This helps me keep track of it and slow down when needed. Also, it stores information for a few days so I don't have to sync it every single day if I don't have the time. I knew I wasn't sleeping well at night, and the Fitbit Charge helps me track my sleeping habits and helps me understand better my habits so I can get more rest. Nothing but awesome rating for this. TOTALLY satisfied with this purchase!

I was a little skeptical at first, but I really love it. I had trouble getting used to wearing it all the time, but I did. I know with the sleep monitor, it isn't perfect like going to the doctor, but I think it gives you a good idea. The device gives you a good idea of heart rate. Being fat, I think it makes me more aware that I need to get my regular HR down which means losing weight. The device is good to help keep track. I don't expect it to be perfect, it isn't for professional use. I DO wish I could keep it on in water. I also wish that I could judge the battery amount from the device instead of checking it on my phone.
