Fitbit Charge 2 Review

In today’s video I’ll preview the tracker, what to expect, the differences between the Charge 2 and Charge HR, and things to know if you consider buying this product.

What is NEW with the Fitbit Charge 2? Fitbit Charge 2 Review

This is more or less a comparison between Fitbit Charge HR and it’s newer Fitbit Charge 2. Based on the 2-year old Charge HR, what are the improvements of the Fitbit Charge 2?

Charge 2 does come with everything that the original Charge HR has; however here are the extra benefits I’ve noticed:

#1 – Better Battery Life?

The official documents still say that both the Charge HR and Fitbit Charge 2 have up to five days on one charge. For the Charge HR, I figured that was a bunch of BS, because I had to charge up my tracker every 2-3 days. On the Fitbit Charge 2 however, the battery is lasting longer, and in my experience since I first got it, I’ve been holding a charge for 5-6 days!

#2 – Connected GPS via Mobile!

YES my friends, you can finally get a GPS tracker within the Fitbit Charge 2. Now, unlike the Fitbit Surge, which has built-in GPS, the Fitbit Charge 2 does use your phone’s GPS to navigate.

But regardless, who doesn’t travel without their phone? After all, the Charge 2 is less expensive than the Surge, so that will save you money by using your phone GPS with the Charge 2.

#3 – Mobile Notifications have Improved!

You can now have text and calendar alerts on your Fitbit Charge 2 as long as your phone is within close-enough distance. The Fitbit Charge HR included only Call Alerts, so this is a nice upgrade.

#4 – MUCH Better Display, Detail, and Screen Size

The Charge HR screen was a bit small, dinky, and old school. The Fitbit Charge two is elongated and displays more statistics throughout the on-screen menus. Not only that, the OLED display ensures that it stays bright and visible in all lighting conditions.

On the main home screen, you can now see date, time, and steps taken on the first screen without scrolling through as you have to on the Charge HR.

The only thing? This wearable is not waterproof. For a Waterproof Tracker, get the Fitbit Flex!

MY FINAL VERDICT – Fitbit Charge 2 Review

Yes, I love the new Fitbit Charge 2. It has happily replaced my Fitbit Charge HR and it’s sleek and beautiful design makes it easy to wear and keep a great pulse on my fitness. Oh, speaking of sleek design, this Fitbit can be changed out with different accessory bands as you wish!
