The Fitbit app is well designed but feels a little dated compared to the competition
Wristband form factor could be uncomfortable for some
Wild hand movements could add steps
Can be a little irritating to put on
Setup can take a little longer than you might expect
While the fitness information is reasonably varied
The sleep information is sorely lacking
Phone calls picked up by the band are almost always missed due to dela

Abstract: For all of the units within these posts I simply bought them myself. The Charge arrived back in December which I used first, and then the Charge HR the last month since wrapping up the Fitbit Surge review (you can only have one Fitbit device tied to your ...

Abstract: About a month ago I decided to stop messing around with so many different activity tracking ecosystems and stick with just one for my own daily usage. However, after using the new Fitbit Charge for the past few weeks, I realized I made the wrong choice an...
the Fitbit Charge is comfortable to wear. After a while you forget you have it on. It's nice when it throws a little vibration party when you reach your step goal. Fitbit definitely knows what they are doing when it comes to activity trackers.They have...
Sporty design that fits well for the active lifestyle, Simple operation, Automatic sleep tracking, Display grants us access to data directly on the unit, Long battery life
It's still prone to registering phantom steps, Only handles phone call notifications, Not entirely water proof
You can say that the wearable space is saturated. From the fitness tracking only models, to the extended features we see in some smartwatches, it's undoubtedly becoming increasingly difficult to standhead above ground. Fitbit, for a good while there, mana...
Great battery life, Plenty of customisation, Social features
Specialised charger, Can't update goals via app, Limited to walking/running
The Fitbit Charge is a fantastic fitness tracker, for everyone from the casual enthusiast to the dedicated athlete. It may be limited in that it can only track walking and running, but the level of customisation is impressive, the social aspects help to k...

Pricing in at $129.95, the Fitbit Charge is priced similarly to the competitors. You're paying a little extra for the display, which really makes the device worth it. Having a fitness device is a pretty eye-opening experience. It makes you re-consider...
Abstract: The Charge irritated my wrist so much that I scratched at it throughout the entire week and a half that I wore it. As a result, I developed a mild, unsightly rash. Although the whole thing was too minor to see a dermatologist, it most definitely made me n...
No heart-rate tracking, Can't withstand immersion in water, Questionable accuracy
The Fitbit Charge is a solid follow-up to the recalled Force wristband tracker, but hold off for the Charge HR and its heart-rate tracking features when it launches in early 2015...
Slim design. Tracks steps, miles, stairs, calories burned, sleep, and exercise or activities. Excellent app and website. Compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, Mac. Beautiful and sharp OLED display. Caller ID feature. Silent alarms.
No heart rate monitoring. Water-resistant, but not waterproof. No smartwatch functionality beyond caller ID. No idle alerts
The wrist-worn Fitbit Charge is a superb if somewhat basic activity tracker. A slim and sleek design make it truly wearable, and the companion Fitbit website and mobile apps are the best you'll find. But the Charge isn't highly sophisticated, and other t...

I should mention I went into this Charge review as a Fitbit user. I've always liked the device support offered by Fitbit, and how you can access your data from a mobile device or regular computer. I've also used it long enough, and feel comfortable enough...
