Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness and Activity Tracker with Built-in GPS, Heart Rate, Sleep & Swim Tracking, Rosewood/Rosewood, One Size (S &L Bands Included)

I've tried other trackers, but nothing else is as easy to set up as the Fitbit line. Do not try to save money by buying something cheap that you wont be able to use.

I bought this brand new original Charge 4 to replace my very old broken Charge 4 - switching to this classic Charge 4 on my Android Phone went well (I recharged the new Charge 4 when it arrived). The "overall rating" was initially only 4 stars because there are some minor issues with the Fitbit app environment, but I've finally managed to get it working OK identically to my original Charge 4. It's now perfect!

I’ve done through 2 Fitbit Charge 4’s then I went to Apple Watch 9. Had to charge that watch every day since I wanted my sleep info. I know the sleep mode has changed in an update, but I still miss my Fitbit! Seriously considering sending Apple Watch back and buying another Charge 4. Battery died on my old one (after I was down to using superglue for the parts to stay on!). Miss it.

I bought this because I wanted to see how many steps I take push mowing my lawn. Also how many steps I take when walking my dogs. It’s exactly as pictured, very nice screen, can read very well, easy to use and comfortable for me. Battery does NOT last 7 days. I’m only on day 3 now(wearing it constantly) & the fitbits says 24% life left. So that’s a bummer. I’ve had another type before and have found the step counter counts if you move/raise your arm wash your hands at times. I do enjoy the Fitbit and it’s other features. I wish the step counter was more accurate but it’s around your wrist not your ankle where I feel it should be but then it can’t detect some of its other features. So you’re going to have to choose what you’d like. I did buy an ankle band & will use it to see if it tracks better holding the information up sharing my phone when I walk my dogs. So after writing this review about a week later as I wear my ankle Fitbit pouch for the first time, realizing it’s super comfortable easy to forget that it’s there, why isn’t there a Fitbit for your wrist and your ankle that hook up to your phone not an either or.? Maybe there is and I just haven’t run into it yet, but I feel it would track that your steps better if you had some thing around your ankle and then for your heart rate, sleeping pattern breathing, then you should have an additional band for your wrist. Would be nice. 12/2/2024, my Fitbit finally broke. The piece that pops into the band broke off inside of it & I can no longer wear it as a watch but I can still use it around my ankle. Lasted 3yrs

I purchased this watch in May 2023. A few days ago I put it on after fully charging it, four hours later it was dead. I tried all the things that support said to try. It now holds a charge for about 14 hours. I am unable to wear it at night because of the battery draining so quickly…I have had to turn of most of the features to reserve power…trying to reach someone to help is impossible…worst purchase I have ever made.It wasn’t that great before the battery problem. The tracker is not very accurate, and I was very disappointed that the o2 was only measured at night while sleeping. It would not always light up when moving my wrist to check the time. I would have given it 3 stars before the battery problem.It’s definitely not worth what you pay, customer service is terrible, I absolutely do not recommend it.UpdatedThought I should give a bit more explanation on the customer service with a side note that I will never purchase another FitbitTalked with Fitbit customer service the woman could see that the battery was draining but…I did not purchase from a listed seller so they wouldn’t honor the warranty. I purchased from Amazon, but it was through a seller Yah…I emailed them received an email back promptly saying that “ I’m so sorry to hear this. Please reach out to Amazon directly for a replacement or refund as they handle all customer service for this item as they ship directly from their warehouses.” called Amazon, they were so sorry but the window for returns had closed. After explaining what had happened I was transferred and then after about 45 minutes give or take it was decided they would refund with a restocking fee. The gentleman said he would give me a $5 gift card,( hasn’t as of this writing) for the inconvenience. I have the pos watch boxed up and ready to ship back, figured that a partial refund was better than none.If you are reading this review definitely make sure, if you are silly enough to buy a Fitbit, to buy from Amazon itself( if they actually sell them). I personally wouldn’t buy one.I had an Apple Watch that lasted 5 years, another off brand that still works but the strap gave out after 3 years. I had received an Amazon fitness watch, for Christmas, that became obsolete which is where my Fitbit purchase came in. Lesson learned, for me anyway. Happy shopping y’all.

Love this product!! I was of the opinion that I didn't need one of these, didn't need to jump on the Fitbit fad. I have an iphone and try to always keep it on me and track my steps and log my cycling. I have for years, and it's cool to see my annual step count go up steadily over the last 4 years. I got the Fitbit because someone told me about the sleep function and at the time I was having spells of sleepless nights. I am SO glad I did, it's awesome I love it!! I love getting to 10,000 steps a day and the little motivational buzz when you get there - you just want to throw your hands in the air and congratulate yourself, everyday! I've also had some weeks where I hit 100,000 steps, which is AWESOME! I'm not a die hard exerciser or gym rat or anything, but I love walking/hiking and cycling. It very much meets my need!! The sleep tracker is cool too, however it's not 100% accurate. It seems okay at night, but if I wake up at say 5:30am and lay in bed for another 30 min - it still tracks that extra 30 min as sleep. Or if my toddler wakes me up at 2am, then I can't fall back asleep for an hour - it still tracks that hour as sleep. It's still cool and I like the sleep function, but with a grain of salt. This happens regardless of if I adjust the sleep sensitivity setting or the tightness of the band. All in all, highly recommend this product!!
