Fitbit's Charge HR adds heart-rate tracking to an already solid fitness band at a great price, but all the kinks don't feel fully ironed out yet....
The Fitbit Charge HR looks good. It's one of the best designed Fitbit products out there and while it's not as stylish as buying a smartwatch, it looks good on the wrist compared to other trackers, It also does its core job well. Step tracking works and t
I'm not going to pretend there aren't issues here. It's expensive. It's not the most costly of the Fitbit range but it's at the higher end and it's a shame it costs that little bit extra then the original Charge. I don't see why Fitbit hasn't just replace
However, here's the thing. I loved using the Fitbit Charge HR, and it actually did encourage me to exercise more. No other fitness device has had that effect on me.I loved that it's so discreet, I trusted it enough to use the figures it was giving me as m...

It's easy to see why the Fitbit Charge HR is one of the most popular models around. In terms of features, it includes pretty much everything anyone wanted from the original fitness band plus heart rate, which can be a useful metric in its own right, witho...
Good level of customisation you can adjust what statistics the screen shows first or change the style of clock face, Comes with a wireless sync dongle if you prefer to use your PC or laptop over a smartphone or tablet to view your stats and enter your cal
Setup is a bit fiddly, The food database for calories consumed is USbased by default, so you need to head into advanced settings and change it to UK it can scan in barcodes but we found some more popular items like chocolate biscuits weren't listed, The d
The Fitbit Charge HR builds on the accuracy and straightforwardness of the Fitbit Charge, with a built in heart rate monitor. Although accurate, it does take a while to adjust the onscreen heart rate when switching between high intensity and low intensity...
The Fitbit Charge HR is undoubtedly the pick of the litter from Fitbit. It takes the simple design and feature set from the Charge and throws active heart rate tracking into the mix.The only fly in the ointment for the Charge HR is the simply superb Garmi...
Fitness trackers are funny things. Much of their core functionality - step counting, run tracking - can be handled as well or better by most smartphones, they're not cheap, and their overall ability to get you fit is questionable. Hoewever, all thi...
Call notification, Sleek, modern minimal design, Traditional watch buckle closure, Comfortable supple band, Vibration alarms
Heart-rate data erratic, Not waterproof, No text notifications
We've been Fitbit fans since first trying the Fitbit Flex. For us, the programmable vibration alarms alone make the Charge HR band worth owning. Waking up to the brain-scrambling blast of an audible alarm seems like cruel and unusual punishment after mon...
Great platform, easy-to-use app, OLED display with instant data access, good accuracy, real-time heart-rate monitoring is fantastic, comfortable, secure, exercise mode great for gym users
Basic and temperamental sleep tracking, no GPS, only 1ATM water resistant, requires weekly charging unlike some competitors, design is discreet but still chunky
The Charge HR might be more functional in build than desirable like the Swiss Made Withings Activité but as a fitness tracker Fitbit is far more detailed and excels in almost every department. Automatic heart-rate monitoring is the Charge HR's mos...
