Fitbit Charge HR 2 Review

Moving to the Beat

I have a very interesting review today. The review is about Fitbit’s new revamped Surge, now known as the HR 2 smart tracker. Fitbit is a huge company and they have cornered a large share of the smart tracker world. The Fitbit Charge HR 2 review aims to give you my honest opinion on this new device.

Fitbit Charge Hr 2 Review – First Impressions

Its predecessor, the Surge, was a very clunky device. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good device in regard to what it could do. But unfortunately, it was like a brick!

To get the best from this device you’re advised to wear it at night. This would help it determine an accurate reading of your resting heart rate. However, I found that it kept me awake! So, trying to find my resting heart rate really wasn’t going to happen!

Key Features of the Fitbit Charge HR 2

The device offers the wearer:

• Heart Monitoring
• GPS Tracking
• Daily Activity Tracking
• Text Alerts
• Sleep Tracking
• 5ATM Water Resistance
• 7 Day Battery Life
• Bluetooth Capability

Wow! Those were my first words when I received my first one! I tried everything possible, there was so much to play with and then came the big test, tracking my sleep pattern!

Sleep Tracking Experience

It failed miserably! It felt like I had attached a brick to my wrist and I must admit I didn’t need it to tell me how I’d slept because I didn’t!

R.I.P The Fitbit Charge HR 2 Review

This device looks the business! It brings a smile to my face. Honestly, I loved my Surge, but our bond was short-lived. The new HR smart tracker has already captured my heart. Are you ready to monitor your progress in a better way?

Design and Functionality

It looks good, feels good, and comes with a whole load of functions:

• Heart Rate Tracking
• Automatic Activity Detecting (Calories, steps, and climbs)
• Sleep Tracking
• Silent Alarm Function
• GPS Function
• iPad and Android Connection Capability

Available Options

• Color: Plum
• Sizes: Small, Medium, and Large
• Style: Charge 2

Strap and Build Quality

The strap has had an update, which was another big fault with the Surge. My Fitbit Charge HR 2 review has nothing but praise for this new smart tracker. With the old model, my strap started splitting after 6 months of normal wear.

I wasn’t impressed, and it was a lot of trouble to get it fixed. The new Fitbit HR comes with a beautiful rugged-looking strap and a smooth face which seems to bond together very well.

Improved Design

I can’t say it enough, it’s beautiful! Fitbit has taken the time to improve all the faults of the Surge. I would also like to add that the Surge, in its heyday, was selling for around £250! There will no doubt be an upgraded model in the pipeline and I can tell you now, I can’t wait!

Price and Availability

The new Charge HR 2 smart tracker ranges from £33.99 to £210.80, which is a fantastic price for a much better product. The best price can be found with most reputable dealers.

Conclusion Of Fitbit Charge HR 2 Review

The Fitbit Charge HR 2 review is all about giving you the information that matters. I agree Apple is a great brand and they have delivered some great products, but everything needs a human touch and that’s what makes the difference, be it good or bad!

I have done my best to give you my opinion on Fitbit, with a small comparison to Apple. This is my opinion and you might agree or even disagree!

Either way, please leave any comments or questions below. I will reply as soon as possible.
