Review on Fitbit Charge Wireless Activity Wristband Wellness & Relaxation by Tiffany Powers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I wish I had bought one sooner

I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift this year during the Cyber Monday Sales and at first I thought it was be a silly idea as he actually never exercises, doesn't monitor his food/water intake and doesn't even try to lose weight. Not that it was 3 days after Christmas, we came back from the store the other day and bought one too because my whole prejudice was turned on its head so quickly! If you're not sure which Fitbit type to choose, scroll down first. Fitbit's product page includes a "compare and contrast chart" that highlights any differences between the models. Although personally I think Charge HR (or higher) is the only option to be honest. First, I'll just ignore the other models and just list the Charge HR features, then I'll get into things: * Tracks steps, calories, and distance * Built-in clock * Tracks sleep quality * Silent alarm clock * Floors elapsed * Active minutes * Callers -ID* Continuous Frequency Heart Rate Now keep in mind that I'm about as far as you can get from a fitness nut (which also seems to be on sale). What interests me the most is sleep tracking and heart rate tracking. First of all I've been diagnosed with not only insomnia but also a movement disorder (similar to RLS) so I have severe sleep problems and often when someone isn't watching me sleep I don't know how much sleep I'm moving or what Come on. So I can never really tell which drugs work best. Well, if I can track my sleep patterns and if I change a medication or dose and there is an increase/decrease in that pattern, we know it's due to the medication, not guesswork. The same goes for my heart rate, I know it can fluctuate. suddenly at seemingly random times because I can feel it in my chest, but I have no idea what my speed is or what might be causing it. So if I know what my heart rate is doing and when (and keep an eye on things like food/drinks) I can talk to a doctor and see if we can find a connection. My boyfriend has a plus size black one and it fits him perfectly and I also got a plus size plum (that's all they had). I usually have small wrists (I wear baby jewelry etc) but when I snap the big tight I'm fine, I think the small one can push the smaller one so if you're not sure between the two it's best to taking the big one just to be safe and the holes fit pretty tight. I paid full price for this item.

Pros
  • Best in my niche
