Customer Ratings & Reviews

I looked for a while before finally purchasing this. Since day one of purchasing it - I have no regrets. I am very pleased with the HR model verses the lower priced models. It seems to be accurate, motivating and helps me track what I'm doing throughout the day, including my sleep patterns.

I love the Fitbit Charge. This is the best fitness tracker I have found. Easy to use and tracks all the essentials. It has been helpful to see my sleep habits. I can display the time so no need to wear a watch. Also can be set to alert me to incoming phone calls from my mobile. Very comfortable to wear. I wear it everyday. I would recommend this to anyone.

Love it it helps me keep track of my sleep my steps,it's pretty amazing how it works the only time I take it off is to shower and charge it

I was always very skeptical about wearable technology, but I really like my Fitbit a lot. It counts steps more accurately than my phone I believe and it also keeps track of the stairs that I do. I also like that you can tap the screen to get it to change through the different display options. I got a great deal on it and it's a lot of fun; I really enjoy the challenges!

I got this fitbit over a week ago. i bought it to keeps track of my exercises, my sleeping hours, and be with my friends' list of people trying to stay fit. And it did. Even shows people who are calling me since it is synchronize with my phone. It'll be better if it has the HR feature but i love its slate color so nevermind. The only fuss is the strap. It looks awkward on your wrist. Now if you tighten it more it will leave marks. So i ended up changing it to black HR.

This Fitbit charge has been a big motivation, is very accurate.

I have only a issue regarding to the wrist band, its very easy un attachable. I feel that i will lose it soon.

I love it!! Wear it all the time, even sleep in it

I received a FitBit Charge for father's day and liked it a lot so I got one for my daughter for Christmas. Some of the best features of the Charge are its simplicity in both design and interface. It is very lightweight and comfortable to wear compared to many men's heavy watches which can feel like an arm anchor. Setting up the FitBit Charge is pretty simple and quick. (I did it on a desktop as opposed to phone or tablet). You will have to create a FitBit Profile account as part of the process. It should be noted that once the account is created many of the options default to sharing status' with everyone, but you can easily change those setting to private if you want. There are many ways to customize and configure your FitBit's settings. For example, I turned off the automatic display feature. Every time I would move my arm while I was sleeping it would turn on/light up and wake me up! However the "double tap to display" feature remained intact. Also I changed the way time is displayed. For the most part the Charge is accurate, but it only counts 3 passes on the stairways in our home as one set of stairs. One great feature is the battery life. I have never run it out and I only charge it once every week and a half or so. Also, it only takes an hour to fully charge on my desktop computer's USB 3.0 port. Some of the bad is that the charging cord is only about 6 inches long. Also, it does NOT play nice with moisture or wetness. My first ones band started to peel off and all I can figure is it got wet when I was washing my hands - even though it usually stayed dry, high on my wrist. The good news was that FitBit had exceptional customer service and replaced it after I emailed them and showed them a picture of it. Which is one of the reasons I felt comfortable purchasing one for my daughter. One more thing is that the band is a little hard to fasten when you first get it, but it breaks-in pretty quickly and I have no problems with it. It obviously doesn't have all the bells and whistles that a smart watch would have, but it's simplicity is what makes it worth getting.

Today is day three with my new fit bit charge and I love it! It replaced my fit bit flex that I had for three months which I also loved… The best new feature is just a simple push of the button on my wristband to look at my stats as opposed to turning on my phone, opening the app and waiting for it to sync. The step count is very accurate, the new feature of counting floors is nice and the caller ID feature is great when I'm out walking… No need to pull out my phone to see who's calling. My second favorite new feature is that I don't have to set it to sleep mode when I get into bed and then turn it off when I wake up… The charge recognizes when you have no physical activity and puts itself into sleep mode automatically! The charge paired easily with my iPhone 6 and I did not lose any data. The first few times it was a bit tricky to snap the wristband on but after three days It is not an issue. The LED readout is sharp and clear and I am still on a full charge after three days It would be nice to have different color wristbands like my flex but I did not buy it to match my clothes… I bought it to help me increase my physical activity and I'm happy to say I have lost over 30 pounds with my fit bit....so all I care about is that this product works as advertised every day and I am very happy with it!

I have owned several Fitbit and Fitbit One over the past few years and they were okay but I normally attached them to my bra strap and if I wanted to see my progress through the day I would have to almost flash strangers :) When I went to see about upgrading I looked at all the new Fitbits and found the Charge to be the best that offered what I was looking at. With the Fitbit One it tracked steps, floors, calories, miles and I had a cute little flower that grew. With the flex it did not track as much and with the Surge too big and too much info. The Charge does what I need. it acts like a watch and surprisingly is not bulky on my arm which I was worried about. If I could have one criticism it would be you are stuck with standard band. It would be nice if it could have interchangeable bands. Overall excellent buy.

I like the FitBit Charge much better than the FitBit Flex. It is much easier to charge and the battery lasts longer. I like being able to check the time, know when I have a call or text message and see the number of steps. Since you can see the steps, I don't have to sync it to my phone to know how many steps I have. The only drawback is that you need to order a large band even if you have a small wrist. I have a small wrist and it came off after two weeks without my knowledge. Order the large band so you can clasp it in the middle and make sure to check throughout the day that it is still on.

This is why I purchased this product. Map My Walk (which I have been using) syncs with it so my cycling is recorded in my steps. Not all fitness trackers are compatible with Map My Walk. I don't have to worry about the battery - I charge it off my computer. I wanted one that tracks sleep. It has an easy to read display screen. I had wanted a waterproof fitness tracker for swimming, but, after looking at all features, I decided to forego the waterproof ones. Other brands are very good if water sports are a major part of your fitness. I am very happy with my purchase but I took my time figuring what I really want to record. It is very comfortable to wear and sleep with.

I am a huge fan of my purchase. That being said, I will do my best to give you readers a helpful review. The FitBit Charge is a good fitness tracker, but its accuracy issues mean ownership requires some tweaking. PROS: It tells time and can have alarms. This is underrated, as most of the other trackers in this price point do not have a way to tell you the time. Wearing it makes you more conscious of the choices you are making. I take the stairs significantly more often now. It's like a shackle of helpfulness. It is water-resistant in the sense that you can wear it in the shower and not have to worry about it exploding, but I think the manual doesn't recommend swimming while wearing the Charge. It can track your food and sleep habits. Individually. If you're getting a phone call, and your phone is on silent, it will pulse a vibration and let you know you're ringing. This is especially useful in situations where I am expecting an important phone call while in a work meeting. If I stop exercising, I still have a cool watch. CONS: You have to charge it about once every week. It doesn't have idle alarms like a Jawbone or Garmin tracker. You know...those reminders if you've been sitting for over an hour to get up and move around. No amount of adjusting your walking/running stride lengths matters if the charge over-counts walking strides, and under-counts running strides. I conducted two accuracy tests walking the track for about five miles. My results are below. Actual steps: 10,000 & 10,000 Charge steps: 10,885 & 10,459 (7% inaccurate) Fitbit One steps: 10,210 & 10,185 (2% inaccurate) 4x3 Motion Pedometer steps: 10,014 & 10,009 (<1% inaccurate) I wouldn't recommend logging Insanity or CrossFit workouts with the built-in timer until you have the pedometer finely tuned to your regular walk/run. My wife's Charge was 20-30% inaccurate during her first few weeks of ownership, and I think it is because she did Insanity workouts the first week she was wearing it. I imagine the sensors inside the watch were very confused, but it's leveled out to become more accurate since then. If you knit, lift weights, or fold laundry, expect to register a few dozen steps during your respective activity. Tl;DR - If you like having fitness goals, the Fitbit Charge is a good place to start. If all you care about is an accurate pedometer, get a Fitbit One. If you're serious about tracking intense workouts, get a Fitbit Charge HR. If you have lots and lots of money, get a Fitbit Surge. Then buy me one, too.

I went into the store looking for a device to track my steps and my sleep patterns. I was going to go with a lower model, but I am glad I went with this one. I really like the display (that is what sold me on the Charge.) This shows the time, steps, # of flights of stairs, miles walked and calories burned. Connect it to your device to see your dashboard which includes your sleep patterns. I had to change mine to sensative to get my sleep patterns correctly.

I got the FitBit on a recommendation from a friend and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. Easy to use, it doesn't get in the way, and the FitBit app also tracks sleep activity so if you're a toss and turner, as I am, you can see just how often you toss and turn in the night. I also love the challenges so you can hook up with friends who also have FitBits and "compete" to see how walks the most! As for the ancillary things it does, I love that I can see who's calling me before I pick up the phone. I wish it would notify me when I get a text message, though, as that's what normally sets my phone off.

This Fitbit is so easy to use. The guy checking me out was very helpful and told me to not open the package until I downloaded the fitbit app. He said then the app would lead me from there. He was right on. App was easy to follow and the product is fantastic! Be sure to not open your fitbit until the app is loaded and everything will go smoothly and be a sinch!! The display is great , The caller I'd is terrific and the silent alarm is a perfect way to wake-up. An all around great little product that fits well and never comes off unless you take it off. Low profile and easy to read. Very pleased

Comfortable wristband with an easy to read digital display. Syncs to the app effortlessly. Love the caller i.d. display, great for when you are in the middle of a workout. Both the app and Fit bit help to keep you on track, Fit Bit vibrates once you've hit your step goal for the day and the app awards "badges"and progress reports based on individual achievements.

Absolutely love my new Fitbit Charge. The sleep tracker is awesome and I love the vibrating alarm. In the week that I have had it, I have pushed myself to get my 10,000 steps in each day, even if it means going a little farther during my dog's last walk of the night. It is definitely motivating to compete with friends and coworkers. Charge lasts a very long time!

I bought this for my girlfriend. She likes it quite a bit. I'm still in search of the perfect device. I have a Soleus Go and I love that it reads my text messages out for me. This one lets you know when someone is calling and that has been pretty handy. The Fitbit Charge has worked really well for her, decent battery charge life, pretty accurate and the display is nice.
