    The new features are the clock, auto tracking of sleep patterns and notice of calls when phone is near. The display is great and the battery last a bit longer. The only delta I have for this version is that I'm unable to change bands. The band you buy is the band you keep.

    For the most part, the fitbit is really good at what it is supposed to do. It seems to track steps and sleep well. My only minor gripe is the wristband/clasp. It's a little clunky and not the easiest to snap on. I would have preferred a more traditional clasp.

    The FitBit Charge works well. Seems to track steps, activities, calories accurately. Interacts with the MyFitnessPal well. Battery life has been good so far. Typically have to charge it every 7 - 9 days. The difference between the small and large size is only the length of the band. The body of the device is the same size.

    Great product overall. Does just about everything that it advertises accurately. I did get surprising results when I wore it while riding my motorcycle though. I was astonished to see that I had walked over 50,000 steps for 10+ miles. Needless to say, all of my goals were maxed out that day. My other concern is that they have the different size posted of the bands, but neglect to initially tell you that for proper fitment you need about .5 inch of space between the watch and your wrist. I initially thought that a small would be fine for me, only to learn after buying that I can't properly put it on without it being too tight (but that's kind of user error also).

    I got the charge for my wife and it works great. The price was good. She likes the display and sleep tracking and that it alerts you when someone calls from her synced smart phone. Battery lasts about a full week. Good, comfortable design.

    Enjoy it but the fit on wrist is uncomfortable

    This watch has been a great help in accountability with sticking to an exercise regimen. My goal is to walk/job 10,000 steps per day and taking a glance at the watch reminds me to pick up the pace. I'll even step into the office restroom and job in place for about 30 seconds to a minute and it helps me meet my goals. However, the fit is not good at all. It works, that's good, but it's kind of embarrassing to wear (if you have a small wrist). But since I'm using it for health reasons and not as a fashion statement, I'd definitely recommend this product. It's easy to read, and you can adjust the display. The app is so easy to download and understand. Oh and you also get weekly reports on your progress. The reason for the 4 stars is mainly because of the fit. It is a little uncomfortable and looks weird.

    I originally got the grey / slate color and decided that I wanted black instead and the tracker sync wasn't that great with the computer but worked really well with the iphone app that is free which was a bonus. Then i used it to keep track of sleep, water literally everything. I coudnt get the usb dongle thing to ever work with my device but the charger cable charged it really fast. only down side is that the steps could be off because i figured out if you wear the watch on either wrist (non-dominant or dominant) when you swing ur arms it counts that as a step which makes the count a little off. Overall great tracker.

    My point to all of these they get you moving more. I purchased the FitBit Charge as I had a FitBit I put in my pocket years back and it was good. I think everyone should wear one and set a goal and hit that goal daily. I know I do and it makes feel okay if I have a few beers with dinner I know I hit the goal I was aiming for. For the product itself: It is perfect. Barley know it's there, light and does not look bad. It is pretty darn accurate. The one time I think it is a little off is at the grocery store. As I am walking and pushing the cart it seems to not grab all the steps. Might just be in my mind. So simple. Put it on and go. Apps work with all phones - a Windows phone like mine :) Charges fully in about 10 minutes and lasts over a week Plug in the dongle to your laptop or PC and you are set. All the software you use is web based so you can access your information anytime or by looking at the device itself.

    Christmas present for wife. Wanted a way to track her steps at work. She loves the fact that it tracks her sleep patterns and has caller ID as well. Even makes use of the alarm that vibrates on her rist to wake her up without disturbing me! That's the part I like.

    The Fitbit charge has been my constant companion! It does a fine job of estimating steps and calorie burning. I am particularly fond of the caller ID function linked with my mobile phone!

    I bought my Fitbit Charge after about 2-3 hours of watching reviews on YouTube and reading them here. I went for the Charge because I didn't want to have to wear a watch and a tracker. I'm not so concerned with my heart rate when I'm sitting at my desk or working out, so I didn't see the value in the additional cost. The Charge is great for daily step counts, sleep tracking, and calorie/food tracking all in one great app. Also, the display on the device helps you keep track of steps, flights of stairs, calories burned, etc. Plus when you wear it at night you can evaluate your sleep quality and I really prefer waking up to the vibrating band as opposed to all of my annoying alarm tone options. I would buy this again and again.

    Great replacement for my Fitbit Force

    I've had my new Fitbit Charge for a little over a month, and thus far have been very happy with its performance. I purchased the Charge to replace my Fitbit Force (which was recalled last year), and so far, it has exceeded my expectations. Its readings seem to be very accurate (even more so than my Force), and it automatically tracks my sleep cycles, which is a nice step up from the Force. I also appreciate the phone call notification function, especially because if my phone is on silent and someone calls me, my Charge "buzzes" once to let me know that I have an incoming call. Very helpful!

    I got this device to monitor my food intake and caloric outtake. The app and device together make this a simple process. The Fitbit Charge gives you the time/date, the steps you've taken, calories burned, stairwells/hills climbed, and your total distance for the day. This is all displayed in a customizable order on its small screen when you hit the button. It also tracks your sleep and you can set an alarm which is not as silent as it says, but works really well. The caller ID I find is a little delayed but still helpful. I really enjoy this product and would recommend it to anyone.

    This tracker works great. It's accurate and has a bright display. It allows you to set up silent alarms as frequently as you would like. I set mine to go off every two hours during the day to remind me to get up and walk around the office and drink water. I've lost about 10 lbs since I got this. I've also been eating better and drinking less but I've definitely been more active because of the Fitbit. You earn badges when you reach certain milestones and you can add friends to the app and compete with them. It definitely motivates you to keep moving.

    I got this on Black Friday for a great deal and havee to say it is worth it! I had the Fitbit One before which was on a clip on, I lost my first one and then got another one but almost lost it a couple times. So this is easier to keep track of and to check your steps, time, distance etc. The only thing is its apparent so when you wear short sleeve shirts, it is visible. Due to it being close to the wrist it is often easily endangered of getting wet or dirty (when cooking). Overall though, I highly recommend it!

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas after he lost his fit bit from his pocket (before the wrist ones came out). He absolutely loves it, wears it night and day. He does construction so every evening when he comes home he sees how many flights of stairs he climbed that day, how many miles he walked. When his Iphone rings, the person number who is calling appears on the fitbit flex so he knows without digging his phone out. Tells how many hours he slept and how restless he was! It is truly his best friend!

    I bought the Fitbit to help track my progress with my fitness group. I can not imagine my life without it now. It wakes me up without disturbing my hubby and it keeps my motivated to do more. It tracks sleep so you can get an idea of how well your sleep habits are and it lets you know when you've reached set goals. I really like that I can see who's calling (if my phone is close by) without reaching for my phone. The best feature is the link to my fitness pal and the weekly progress reports. Great buy

    So, I'll start this off by saying that this was purchased as a gift for my girlfriend. My review is based on her direct impressions of the product after about 3 weeks of everyday usage. First, this is a very accurate fitness tracker. She has used previous models of trackers such as the nike fuel and other current models like the UP24 and so far, this has accurately tracked her movements through her busy work day and synced those various movements to her phone. Another point goes to the clarity of the screen. She has used this device at work where lighting can be poor, outdoors where the sun can be glaringly bright and in the gym. So far, the backlit screen has kept all her important stats at the forefront and she likes that she can even customize what shows up through each menu. It's simple, she says. And last point, it's stylish. She wears this to work, to the gym and on our dates. She loves that she can pretty much wear this with any outfit and it blends in rather than sticks out like an eye sore. Overall, this is a great fitness tracker that comes highly recommended from a happy couple.
