Here’s a random 5+ days worth of data (in between charges) from steps and how they shake up: So how does accuracy rank? I’ve been wearing the Fitbit Charge 2 and Garmin Forerunner 35, one on each wrist, 24×7 for the last month. I’ll cover other workout modes in the next section – so hang tight a moment. This would then (by default) show Running, Weights, Treadmill, Bike, Workout, Elliptical, and Interval Workout. For example, once you’ve selected the sport modes, you can then iterate through the different sport modes by tapping. These modes include just showing your HR, sport modes, stopwatch, and breathing sessions. Meanwhile, you can then press the side button to change into different modes. These metrics include: Current HR, Distance, Calories, Flights of Stairs, Active Time, Steps toward hourly goal, Daily Total Steps. However, you can then tap the display to change it to any other given metric. In my case that’s the time, date and steps. When you do so it’ll show you the last stat you’ve configured. However, the unit also supports raising your wrist to see the stats:
To begin after setup, you’ll iterate through the menus by either tapping the screen or pressing the side button. The Charge 2 is in most ways like existing Fitbit wearables, except with slightly more options and features.
We’ve got the Garmin Vivosmart HR (sans-GPS), which is at 30g, and the Polar A360 (sans-GPS) at 37g. You can see how you press these little snaps on either end of the pod, and it’ll pop out of the strap.įitbit then makes other colored straps, like these bits of Skittles awesomeness:įinally, if you check out the weight of the unit, it comes in at 35g: Note that the band on the Fitbit Charge 2 is swappable. It’s pretty secure, so there’s no issue with it falling off like some of the older Fitbit wearables charging clips. The charging clip simply snaps onto the bottom of it. Essentially, if you develop a rash and your wrist falls off – it’s your fault.
Charge 2 manual#
The quick start guide paper tells you to head to Fitbit’s site to get setup, while the thicker white manual gives you a bunch of boring safety and warranty information. Here we’ve got on the left the USB charger, two pieces of paper, and on the right the Fitbit Charge 2 itself. The Fitbit Charge 2 comes in a relatively small box, with relatively few components inside of it. If you found the review useful, you can hit up the support links at the end of the post. I’ll then go out and get my own through regular retail channels like normal.
Charge 2 trial#
I’ve got it all!įitbit sent me a trial unit of both the Charge 2 and the Flex 2, which as usual I’ll return to them upon completion of this review. Within this review I’ll dive into everything you’d ever want to know about it, from the device usability, to the accuracy, to that of the platform and mobile app. I’ve been wearing the Fitbit Charge 2 for a bit over a month now, comparing it day by day to other watches and wearables. The name got a switcheroo, since the Fitbit Charge 2 now incorporates optical HR, whereas the original Fitbit Charge did not (but the Charge HR did). This review however is purely focused on the Fitbit Charge 2, which is the successor for the original Fitbit Charge HR. It’s been a bit over two months since Fitbit announced their latest wearables, the Fitbit Charge 2 and the Fitbit Flex 2 (they also announced some Blaze updates and Alta bands at that time).
