Fitbit Charge 2 Heart Rate + Fitness Wristband - Plum - Large

I’ve had this thing for over 10 years it feels like! I got it for a Christmas gift from my parents! This band isn’t the original band either. Like the picture I had that one but also in purple but it got worn out. This one now is getting worn out from use and am gonna have to get a new one soon. I only use my handy smart watch at work. And with my work I use gloves and around water and chemicals and it always gets banged around. But I love using it as a secondary clock and to see how many steps I’ve taken even if I didn’t reach my goal every work day. And to see if my heart rate is too high or low. It’s super easy to charge, I just wish there was a way to turn the thing off so it wouldn’t waste battery. Or accidentally count steps and stuff. But oh wells.

I love my charge 2! I have been wearing it for 3 years now and it's still running. Although the battery life has reduced quite a bit and now required me to charge every 2-3 days depending on how often I use it during my run. The only issue I have with fitvit is that the original band is really terrible. I've replaced it twice under warranty. Finally, I had to buy one off of Amazon and its been the same band I've worn for 2 years now. It's a good size for those who doesn't want a full smart watch and bulky. I like that it tracks my sleep pattern too. I would say it's fairly accurate for when I go on my run and tracking distance and time. Overall, I haven't had any other issues with the fitbit itself.

I use this as a tool for tracking my heart rate during a workout. I like that it shows me fat burn heart rate and cardio heart rate. This helps me track how much time I was in cardio which is important to me so I can make sure I get adequate cardio excercise for a healthy heart. I also like how easy it is to track workouts and the different types. It is able to track cycling, swimming, weights and more. I wish the design was more sleek, I don't like wearing this outside a workout, its not too fashionable. But for working out is perfect useful tool

I recently decided to purchase the Fitbit Charge 2 to help me track my fitness goals and monitor my daily activity. The device is sleek and stylish, with a large, easy-to-read display that provides real-time stats and notifications. I appreciated the variety of band options available, allowing me to customize the look of my device to my personal style. The Fitbit Charge 2 was accurate in tracking my steps, distance, and calories burned, and I found the heart rate monitor to be a useful tool during my workouts. The device's ability to track my sleep patterns was also a great feature, providing me with insights into the quality of my sleep and helping me make adjustments to improve it.

The Fitbit app was easy to use and offered a range of features, including the ability to set goals, track progress, and compete with friends. However, I did experience some issues with syncing the device with the app, which was frustrating at times. One issue I encountered was with the durability of the band. Over time, the band began to show signs of wear and tear, and I ultimately had to replace it. Additionally, I found that the heart rate monitor could be inaccurate during certain types of exercise, which made it difficult to rely on the device for precise measurements. Overall, I was happy with my purchase of the Fitbit Charge 2. It provided me with valuable insights into my fitness and sleep patterns, and helped me stay motivated to reach my goals. However, I wish I had known about the potential issues with durability and syncing before making my purchase, as they did impact my overall experience with the device.

It looks like a Apple on your wrist. The quality in the workmanship is visible. I've had mine for about 2 weeks now. It's comfortable, the time and date is accurate and never needs a battery or winding. Rechargeable battery lasts about a week or so and recharges via USB. The software App for the phone was a little disappointing. It seemed to be vague and written to be a "1 size fits all models" kind of app. The Bluetooth often disconnects itself intermittently from my phone and needs re-pairing. I could not get the SLEEP monitoring to work. Often at night, with the watch on my wrist literally

I got my Fitbit charge 2 in 2018 and I wear it pretty much every single day. I absolutely love it. I find I don’t use all of the features but it’s super handy when tracking workouts and I like checking out my sleep habits. One thing that I will caution is that the brand that come with it are awful. They will break in 3 months. Personally I’ve been buying cheap after market bands off Amazon for years and they last much longer and because they are so cheap I can buy multiple for a good price. I will also warn that I’ve had a great experience with mine for years (minus the straps) but many people I know who had the charge 2 and 3 it just randomly died on them after a year and that was it. So seems that there are a lot of lemons. I just happened to get lucky I ... MoreI got my Fitbit charge 2 in 2018 and I wear it pretty much every single day. I absolutely love it.

The Charge watch has been the workhorse of the fitbit line. Worth getting a Charge 2? In a word: YES. Since you're familiar with the Charge already, let's go over some of the issues you may have experienced and highlights/common questions answered:1) Build Quality: The Charge 2 is a far far superior quality than the original Charge. Right out of the box, you'll notice how much sturdier and thicker the band feels.2) Swapping out bands is relatively easy. Once you figure out how to press on the band on each side to release, it's fairly painless. I could see someone elderly struggling with it at first. **If you had problems with your original Charge band bubbling, the ability to swap bands and how the tracker is connected to the bands should eliminate the issues you ... MoreThe Charge watch has been the workhorse of the fitbit line.

Right out of the box, you'll notice how much sturdier and thicker the band feels.2) Swapping out bands is relatively easy. Once you figure out how to press on the band on each side to release, it's fairly painless. I could see someone elderly struggling with it at first. **If you had problems with your original Charge band bubbling, the ability to swap bands and how the tracker is connected to the bands should eliminate the issues you have experienced ** Obviously way too early to make a call on how the device will hold up, but given my experience with Blaze Alta, this feels similar in build quality, if not better, and neither of those devices have suffered from bands falling apart on a wide scale.3) Width of the device is nearly identical to the original Charge/HR. The button on the left side of the device is much more pronounced (good thing). You can give it a nice firm click, and it doesn't feel loose or cheap as some of the Charge buttons were prone to.4) SIZING: The band itself is much longer than the original. I have always worn small in fitbit products, and found myself almost on the last hole. Something to keep in mind if you think you are on the cusp of small/large. Small likely the way to go.5) Display is nice, 4x larger than the original Charge. The font is displayed crystal clear, and is very bright. Can see it extremely well, even in bright sunlight. It is NOT a color screen. The font is a bright offwhite, as opposed to the original Charge that had a soft almost blue to it. Texts when incoming scroll across the screen.6) Overall look is sharp. Much better looking than the original. Very sleek and elegant. Actually looks better than the Blaze given thinner profile.7) Has a breathing/relaxation function. Have only dabbled with this. It actually monitors as you inhale and exhale and prompts you when to take deep breaths, etc. More of a gimmick to me, but some may find this useful.8) Navigation is relatively easy. When selecting specific workouts (you can customize the list in app), you hit the button on the side to get to the workout screen, then tap to cycle through them (run, weights, treadmill, elliptical, etc). Hold the button and your workout starts. During the workout you can cycle through metrics specific to your activity such as calories burned, heart rate, etc. Some activities will display steps, pace,calories burned, etc.9) Menu items start with your clock face, then by pressing the button will display Heart Rate, Exercise, Stopwatch, Relax, and Alarm.10) Clock Faces: There are seven to choose from. Some display day date, and most have option to where when you tap the display it will cycle through stats (may display heart rate, date, steps taken, how far you are in your goals, your hourly movement reminders, etc). BUT DOES IT HAVE SECONDS? Yes, two of the watch faces are digital (numbers display, not hands) and have seconds displayed. There is only one "classic" watch face with the hands, and no that one does not display a second hand.11) Notifications: You get basic texts (no pictures of course), both SMS iMessage. Incoming calls will display the contact and/or phone number. And you get calendar alerts. There is no 3rd party support at this time such as facebook, instagram, etc (The Blaze watch will be offering these soon in next software upgrade, so I guess there is hope the Charge 2 will get those as well).12) Reminders to Move: Sit on your butt too long and it will thump you with a vibe (250 steps per hour).Today I put it through its first paces with a workout. I use it mostly for light cardio and weights. Heart rate was spot on as it usually was with original Charge HR my Blaze. No issues with step counting on the elliptical I used to warm it up. I have not used the watch for 24 hours yet, so have not been able to judge the VOX/Cardio Fitness Level rating new to this device.PROS:- It is worth upgrading alone from the Charge/HR simply due to build quality. Pictures do not do it justice. As another poster on a forum where we discuss fitbit devices said, it has that "Apple" quality feel to it. It no longer feels like a cheap rubber tracker. The ability to swap to leather, metal, or other colored bands means you can wear this unit for any occasion if style is your thing. It really does look great.- Monitoring of heart rate using optical sensors has never been a problem for me, and this one seems to be no different. Obviously some folks have trouble with them due to body hair and whatnot, but the sensors on Charge HR, Blaze, and now Charge 2 seem to be spot on. An issue I had with the original Charge was it getting "lost" when I hit higher cardio levels. This doesn't appear to be as much of an issue this time around. That said, this isn't a medical device, so I expect it to not be 100% all of the time. Use it as a tool in your overall fitness profile.- The charger itself is a new clip style (looks like a staple remover), and fits over the sides of the tracker. Fits nice and snug and snaps in. It won't fall out of the charge (actually think that's impossible given the design). No more worrying about it not snapping on and falling off or getting it just right. Big improvement.CONS:- vibration is notably weaker than the original Charge. May be an issue for some using it as an alarm if you're a heavy sleeper. That said, I wore it very tight to bed last night, and it was able to wake me this morning (something I've had problems with on the Blaze from time to time).- text notifications are neat if you've never had them. However I have a Blaze, where you can see the whole message at once. The Charge HR slowly scrolls texts and notifications to you, which can be annoying if you're used to the Blaze. They serve their purpose well though, and I can't ding it for this as it's a step up from the original Charge.VERDICT:I reviewed it as if I were upgrading from the Charge/HR to this device. It is a no-brainer if you've held on to your Charge/HR and not upgraded yet to the Alta or Blaze for whatever reason. I'd rank the Charge 2 ahead of the Alta. If money is no object, spend the extra $50 to get the Blaze simply due to the color display and easier navigation (not to mention ability to see full texts as they come in). Otherwise, for $150, you'll be very happy to have move up from other Fitbit products. The Blaze is their high end product at the moment, but the Charge 2 is a very close second.I'll happily answer questions as I did for when I originally reviewed the Blaze out of the gate, and edit this review to reflect common questions or any issues I face as I put the device through its paces in the coming days

I would not trust this seller again

Received a watch, but not the one I ordered…I ordered a blue one as advertised, which was also supposed to be new, The mailer bag was very flimsy, and inside was a black watch, with an extra orange band (no blue) which was in a very thin cardboard box which had its top open with the bubble-wrapped watch hanging out of it. Scratches on the sides of the watch, and slight chips on the edges of the face, to suggest it’s not new. Also no instructions included. I haven’t even tried it out to see if it works, due to my disappointment. Contacted the seller, who asked for a picture. Sent the picture and the seller told me that that he/she had sent a new watch in original package. I haven’t heard any more since then…that was weeks ago.

Walmart doesn't back their vendors

This had issues within the 1st 2 weeks, but I kept wondering if it was me or the fitbit. I had the exact same one for about 5 years and LOVED it. No issues. This one had trouble charging and a small corner of the screen began to fog for no reason. I never got it wet, did the same exact routine of what I did with my fitbit that lasted for years. I bought it in June and reached out to the seller in July. Their response was "this is out of return window." Nothing more. I won't purchase from Walmart again. They don't stand behind their vendors and their vendors don't sell reputable products that last more than 30 days. Stay away. I had to spend $150 all over again to buy another Fitbit at Macys where they stand by the product for 90 days. Even Amazon stands by their ... MoreThis had issues within the 1st 2 weeks, but I kept wondering if it was me or the fitbit. I had the exact same one for about 5 years and LOVED it. No issues.
