No heart-rate tracking, Can't withstand immersion in water, Questionable accuracy
The Fitbit Charge is a solid follow-up to the recalled Force wristband tracker, but hold off for the Charge HR and its heart-rate tracking features when it launches in early 2015...
Slim design. Tracks steps, miles, stairs, calories burned, sleep, and exercise or activities. Excellent app and website. Compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, Mac. Beautiful and sharp OLED display. Caller ID feature. Silent alarms.
No heart rate monitoring. Water-resistant, but not waterproof. No smartwatch functionality beyond caller ID. No idle alerts
The wrist-worn Fitbit Charge is a superb if somewhat basic activity tracker. A slim and sleek design make it truly wearable, and the companion Fitbit website and mobile apps are the best you'll find. But the Charge isn't highly sophisticated, and other t...

Simple to use, Great-looking, Excellent battery life
Easily scuffed, Proprietary charger, Not waterproof
In a world where phones are now tracking everything that fitness bracelets do, spending over $100 on a standalone device is a difficult proposition. You want something that has an edge over a basic phone-based pedometer. The Charge has that edge thanks to...
Relatively comfortable to wear; Works as a watch; Also works as a smartwatch in one capacity, picking up phone calls and displaying caller ID; Sleep mode is automatically switched on when worn;
Can be a little irritating to put on; Setup can take a little longer than you might expect; While the fitness information is reasonably varied, the sleep information is sorely lacking; Phone calls picked up by the band are almost always missed due to dela
