FitbitCharge 4 Fitness and Activity Tracker with Built-in GPS, Heart Rate, Sleep & Swim Tracking, Rosewood/Rosewood, One Size (S &L Bands Included)

Purchased in April of 2021. Great for fitness tracking, sleep, etc. Better than more expensive Fitbits. In July of 2022, the connection to the band broke off. Not the band, I've gone through a number of bands, but the connector that goes from band to watch. Researched replacing watch. Decided best option was super glue band to connector. Now October 2022, band connector to watch itself has broken...researching replacements and still not to keep on any of the available upgrades, so I've now super glued two parts together. This is probably the last thing I can glue before watch definitely needs replacement. I'll probably buy the charge 4 again, because none of the Fitbit newer models seem to have all the features that the charge 4 has...possibly I should just glue the face to my arm

Love this product!! I was of the opinion that I didn't need one of these, didn't need to jump on the Fitbit fad. I have an iphone and try to always keep it on me and track my steps and log my cycling. I have for years, and it's cool to see my annual step count go up steadily over the last 4 years. I got the Fitbit because someone told me about the sleep function and at the time I was having spells of sleepless nights. I am SO glad I did, it's awesome I love it!! I love getting to 10,000 steps a day and the little motivational buzz when you get there - you just want to throw your hands in the air and congratulate yourself, everyday! I've also had some weeks where I hit 100,000 steps, which is AWESOME! I'm not a die hard exerciser or gym rat or anything, but I love walking/hiking and cycling. It very much meets my need!! The sleep tracker is cool too, however it's not 100% accurate. It seems okay at night, but if I wake up at say 5:30am and lay in bed for another 30 min - it still tracks that extra 30 min as sleep. Or if my toddler wakes me up at 2am, then I can't fall back asleep for an hour - it still tracks that hour as sleep. It's still cool and I like the sleep function, but with a grain of salt. This happens regardless of if I adjust the sleep sensitivity setting or the tightness of the band. All in all, highly recommend this product!!

replaced my fitbit 3 that was starting to have issues after 2 years. The good thing here is that this will use all of my bands for the 3, just not the charger. It is accurate as far as i can tell- it gives very similar numbers to my 3. It goes forever on a single charge and it does well with all of the functions. the gps is fairly accurate but- yes -turn it off when not needing it specifically. The only issue i have is that i have only been able to get it to sync on one of my windows devices a couple of times ( I have a pc and table, not phone with windows 10. with or without (plain bluetooth) the fitbit dongle). still it is a great device and I have been a slave to these things for more than 4 years. However it keeps me honest and in check. great device and your health is worth the cost.EDIT- it now will sync with my windows devices a bit better. as with most things these days, there is some magic sequence that you have to do things with to get the planets to align to get that first recognition. Just the right combination. I know I did remove and reinstall the app on one device and of course - no other device can be close. I also had to get rid of the fitbit dongle and use normal bluetooth and do windows pairing and repair. Just keep trying.

I primarily use the following features:- Sleep tracking- Step counting- Tracking my Jogging (GPS/route tracking, time, Heart Rate, etc)For the first two, it's all aces. Quite happy, though I don't always understand why it sometimes gets the more verbose sleep logging and others it doesn't. Step tracking is fine, though I mainly like the percentage circle (not micro-managing my steps).The last one is why it loses some stars. I don't like having to deal with touch screen when I'm sweaty, it's unreliable. But the biggest irritation is that about 75% of the time, it won't connect to GPS and therefore doesn't accurately measure my route or distance and therefore doesn't have correct results. It's infuriating because I do the same route each time and sometimes it does, most times not, and I have no explanation why.Other thoughts:- Battery life is fine, no complaints- The stock band is awful, I couldn't find a comfortable notch, but replaced with a stretchy one with variable sizes and it's sooo much better.But the GPS issue is honestly one of the biggest reasons I didn't jump for the Charge 5, since my understanding is that the guts aren't much different. Your mileage may vary (if your GPS connects or not, hah).
