Review on Fitbit Charge Wireless Activity Wristband: Small Size, Sleek Black Design by Sarah Gonzalez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As of November 2014, this is the most advanced tracker available.

. Flex, Garmin VivoFit and even Microsoft Band. I think it's for the best. How I would compare the 4:Jawbone - I liked the website, the silent alarm, and the battery life, but that's about it. The biggest issue I have with many groups, including this one, is how unwieldy they are. Of course, manual synchronization is also annoying. FitBit Flex - it has a silent alarm, auto-sync, and you forget about it during the day because it's not very bulky. But it lacks the impressive FitBit Charge display (see below) Garmin VivoFit - I liked the display and the lack of bulkiness, but the app was terrible. You couldn't see him at night either, and he didn't have a silent alarm. Microsoft Band - If you could cram the functionality of the Microsoft Band into the Fitbit Charge, you would have the perfect tracker. The problem, however, is that the band is very thick and you have to turn it over to read the display. Close the top and the display under the wrist. It reminded me of my 4th grade math teacher who always looked at his watch by turning it over. FitBit Charge - Looks great, quiet alarm, bright display, accurate, double tap for important info. You won't notice it's on your wrist, which is one of my top fitness tracker needs. One feature I think is pretty cool is the silent aim range beacon. So let's say you want to walk 10,000 steps a day. As soon as you do this, the group buzzes, and if you look at the display, you will be warmly congratulated on your achievement. Another interesting feature is that if you press and hold the button, you tell the tracker that you are in "active" mode. A timer starts and the distance covered is recorded. Ideal for jogging. Out of the trackers launched in November 2014, this is the best. Soon it will be a thing of the past, especially as the Apple Watch redefines the wearable market. But for now, it's the most versatile tracker.

Pros
  • Waterproof: The cargo has been tested to 1 atm, which means it is sweat, rain and splash-proof; However, the device is not swimproof; We also recommend unplugging the charger before showering as, as with any portable device, it's best for your skin if the strap stays dry and clean.
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging.
