I received one of these as a Christmas gift last December and returned it because it was so much more difficult to use than other cheaper trackers i have had in the past. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for and i finally grew weary of the cheaper trackers being so grossly inaccurate. So..i recently bought this Charge 4 and am determined to use it, not because i need or want so many of the features which are of no value to me, but because of the high ratings i see from other reviews about its accuracy which is my top priority. I am old and have several health problems .When i work out I need accurate information readily available to monitor primarily my heart rate, so i dont exceed my target rate for any extended period of time. Unfortunately, i am having a very hard time getting the face of my Charge 4 to open up without having to tap on it multiple times, and that isnt easy while on a treadmill going at a fast pace. I also dont understand why Fitbit couldnt provide a color face option so i could see the info more easily. I do like that they provide many options for what shows on the face when you open it up. I have been reading the user manual to try and tweak several areas of the setup options, but i need to do a much better job of that and ask Fitbit for help if I continue to struggle. Finally, the charger for my Charge 4 sucks compared other trackers i have owned which are much easier to accurately connect to the tracker. i realize that Fitbit wants its own proprietary charger like Apple, but I prefer other trackers where the end of the tracker fits into a USB port to charge. I havent been able to remove the strap from the tracker without fear that i will have to pull so hard i break something.Fortunately, the small strap which came installed on the tracker is just barely large enough for me. Overall, this charger is much more complicated than i need or want, but i will probably keep it because of its accuracy. I had previously bought an off brand which was much simpler to operate and synch with their app, but it turned out to be junk..totally inaccurate…it was geared toward Seniors which is why i bought it…why doesnt Fitbit try to provide a tracker or two geared to Seniors which is simpler and easier to operate? If they do I’m not aware of it.

My complaint about this product is that it is a replacement for a previous charge 4 that was still a functional tracker but rendered unwearable: The cleat on the side of the watch that the band snaps into sheered away from the watch body. To my knowledge, there was no traumatic event that caused it – maybe I snagged it or bumped a doorjamb and just didn’t take note. I chose to buy anogher Charge 4 here because I like the functioonality and I already owned two aftermarket watchbands – I had to replace the original 8 months into ownership becuse it broke from what was clearly friction from the buckle moving and wearing at the silicon band. I had JUST bought a third band when the cleat holding it to the watch body sheered away. The watch was 13 months in my posession when this happened. I didn’t replace it with a Charge 5 so I can continue to get value out of my aftermarket watchbands. If however the same thing happens with the replacement, I don’t think I will buy another Fitbit. I had the first version of the Charge that lasted me years before the battery finally gave out.

Good product, showed up earlier than expected. It’s very useful and accurate. My only issues is that the built in GPS tracking drains the battery a ton, and this specific one’s bands shift out of place if jostled for a while, which makes me nervous taking it swimming but otherwise has no other problems.

I’ve tried a few Fitbit options. I don’t want a full-on watch that will annoy me with notifications and unnecessary stuff so a tracker is what I wanted. This is a bit bigger than the inspire HR i had before and around the same size as the fitbit charge 5, which has color but no physical buttons. The best part of this is the physical button because tap to wake doesn’t always work and if you’re sweaty and your hands are wet you can’t use it, so the button is your only option. So, this is the best tracker I’ve found so far from the fitbit family, even if it’s not the most recent. I didn’t mind the color screen of the 5 but not being able to use a button was a dealbreaker for me. This has pretty much all the same features, is cheaper, and in my opinion just a more reliable and function tracker. And I can confirm over one week worth of batter, which is nice.
