Fitbit Charge 4 Advanced Fitness Tracker with GPS, Swim Tracking & Up To 7 Day Battery

Product Information

When it comes to tracking your actual workouts both watches are equal, you have the option to switch between heart rate, calories burned, heart rate zone (cardio or fat burn), time, and distance/steps depending on your workout. It’s certainly nice to be rewarded for how hard you exercise rather than just for how many steps you take or how long your workouts last. Fitbit Charge 4 Full Specifications and Features – Charge 4 is the latest wearable from Fitbit, it succeeds the Charge 3, and comes with inbuilt GPS, NFC, and as well weighs a little less than the Charge 3.

That means you'll still be able to track your location and pace during outdoor workouts, even if you opt for the slightly older model. The fitness tech brand also has a smartwatch line where the Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa reside, along with fitness trackers like Fitbit Inspire, Fitbit Luxe and for children Fitbit Ace.When i work out I need accurate information readily available to monitor primarily my heart rate, so i dont exceed my target rate for any extended period of time.

By monitoring calories burned, efficiently tracking your resting heart rate and a personalized sleep quality score, among others. However, it’s nice to know that I could use the Charge 4 to pay for stuff without having to put my fingers on a keypad.When you set up Fitbit Pay, the app informs you that merchants will only see a device-specific number, not your real card number, a nice privacy assurance. All versions have a silicone Infinity Band, which uses a soft loop and tang rather than a hard buckle, which is more comfortable to wear while sleeping.

The tracker will measure the time you spend in target heart rate zones, and track your progress toward the goal of 150 minutes per week. Fitbit is one of the main purveyors in wearables and released the Fitbit Charge 5 watch in its Charge series, the first of which arrived in 2016. The Charge 4 is the first of Fitbit’s fitness trackers to have this feature, but it is available on the Versa, Versa 2, and Ionic. If you're a Fitbit Premium subscriber, the Fitbit Charge 5 will also give you a daily a Readiness Score.

The most noticeable difference between the Fitbit Charge 5 and Fitbit Charge 4 is the slimline design. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. I still like the pressure-sensitive button overall, but it’s still not as good as a normal physical button. com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission.
