A swipe down from the top of the screen reveals any recent notifications from your phone. The 1-inch grayscale touchscreen is the primary way you navigate the Charge 4. On the bottom of the Charge 4 is the hardware that powers the 24/7 heart rate monitoring. On the left side of the housing is a button that you tap on to do things like go back a screen, or long-press to bring up quick settings or trigger a Fitbit Pay transaction. The other end of the cable plugs into a standard USB connector. Like most of Fitbit’s charging adapters, the clamp-like connector latches onto the sides of the Charge 4 with three pins that connect to the back of the device. With a quick press of a button, the device gently slides off the band. If you order the $169.95 special edition Charge 4, you get an extra woven reflective band. Included in the box with the Charge 4 are two sizes of the wristband and a charging connector. From software to hardware, the Charge 4 is a compelling option for someone who wants all the health details a fitness band offers, with just a dash of smart watch features. In many ways, the Charge 4 feels like a device that Fitbit has been building toward with routine updates and upgrades for the rest of its lineup, including the Versa 2 smart watch.
The Charge 4 adds built-in GPS, which allows you to ditch your phone and let the band take care of mapping your run (or in our case, walk). The $149.95 band is a modest update from the Charge 3, which was released in late 2018. Still, for the past week, we’ve been testing Fitbit’s latest fitness gadget, the Charge 4. For a lot of people, overall fitness activity has plummeted because of stay-at-home orders and social distancing. It’s a weird time to be reviewing a fitness band. I've tried changing to a different clock face, but all are very small.Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account If you're walking or running, you have to stop for a few minutes to try and read what to says. Even friends who don't were reading glasses can only just read the step count. If you're someone that wears glasses just for re ading, then forget this tracker. The screen and clock is so small I can nearly see the time. Sometimes it takes quite a lot of attempts to get the screen to activate. The screen is not very responsive when you tap to view screen. The main issues I have with Fitbit is with the wristband tracker itself. I took a break after that as the straps kept breaking, they weren't waterproof and the battery life was terrible. I had the first ever Fitbit and the first charge HR. The titbits can look cheap and flimsy with Fitbit's own brand strap on. Although, I'd recommend buying a strap made by another company. The Fitbit app and community are fantastic and the customer service is excellent. A definite improvement from the original Charge HR, but still room to make this tracker better.
