Fitbit's run has been an impressive one. Hard to believe, really, that the company only started life nine or so years back. In under a decade, it's become a household name, synonymous with an entire space, even as nearly every hardware manufacturer large...

The package comes with a Fitbit Charge wristband tracker, a charging cable, and a wireless sync dongle which allows you to sync your device to your PC or tablet/laptop. My first impressions — the wireless device looks and feels fantastic. It is light weig...

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...

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...

Earlier this year I reviewed the Fitbit Flex. After a setback with the Fitbit Force, the Flex was the only activity tracker that Fitbit offered that could be worn around your wrist. (You can check out the review here.) I called the Fitbit Flex the gateway...
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...

What a year it's been, one that was deemed as the year of the wearables. Fitbit, a company heralded by its various fitness trackers, has been seeing stiff competition not only from other companies specializing in fitness trackers, but from the big named...

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...

The holidays are around the corner and fitness devices are going to sell like hotcakes. Luckily, Fitbit recently released one of the best fitness monitors out there: the Fitbit Charge Activity and Sleep Wristband. The Fitbit Charge combines the best featu...
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...

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...

It's been more than a year since the ill-fated Fitbit Force tracker was pulled off shelves due its allergy-inducing wristband. Despite the ailment, the device otherwise received high praise for being one of the best — if not the best — fitness trackers on...

The best activity trackers sell a promise of motivation to exercise, or at the very least, to walk more. Fitbit has long been a champion of modern-day pedometers, with its original Fitbit Ultra largely kicking off the new wave of fitness trackers that hav...
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...

The Fitbit Charge is a comfortable and long-lasting fitness tracker that adds caller ID to the mix, but we'd prefer more notifications. You know you're doing something right when one of your flagship products is recalled and you still command n...
