The new Fitbit Charge may not be as advanced as other models which are top-of-the-line ones, like the 200-dollar Basis Peak. However, it offers so many exciting features that can surely satisfy you. Now, let’s find out what makes it worth your money.
Design
When it comes to the design, it appears identical with the sleek and slim Fitbit Force. What makes it different is its texture and its two-prong clasp which is more secure. It is also very comfortable to wear. It comes in sizes such as Small, Large and Extra-Large and colors such as blue, slate, black and burgundy. It is also water-resistant. However, you should now wear it while you swim, since it isn’t fully waterproof.
Display
The Charge has the similar OLED screen that the Force uses. There is one side button that allows you to go through all your data. Indeed, it is a simple yet beautiful work piece where any person can find uncompromised comfort.
The Fitbit App And Features
Among the most remarkable Fitbit Charge features is its ability to support caller ID. This is for incoming calls when you have it connected to a mobile phone. For the very first time, the manufacturer has had its toes dipped into the functionality of a smartwatch, which is, indeed, a very hesitant step. On the other hand, the Charge is not capable of displaying other kinds of notifications, not even alerts or even text messages. Called ID, however, just does not appear to be that useful. But theoretically, an update on the firmware may give rise to other features in the latter. But, for now, this device’s called ID capabilities as a primary feature doesn’t really seem to be a good selling point.
Overall Fitbit Charge Verdict
Indeed, the Fitbit Charge is a fitness tracker that is truly excellent, especially with the fact that it is equipped with good mobile apps and Fitbit website, even if this device is not as advanced as other options that you may find in the market or the ones that are yet to come. If you have been a self-quantifier for a long time now, this device may not be an upgrade from the 2013 devices. Also, there are many other similar devices with more advanced features that have the functionalities of a smartwatch. But if you are searching for the most ideal among the basic trackers in the market, the Charge can be a superb choice for you.
