Fitbit Charge 4: It was about time!

Amazing, perfect timing. Now we can track running inside our house.

And all those virtual workouts!

Yes 😆 sad but true

Yeah. GPS is a game changer. Now you can track your location while running inside your house. Bravo

I am still using my charge 2. Works fine after three years

[@trytesting4114]

i strongly urge you use it until i breaks then move on to a different brand. i ve lost all confident in that co. i had the 2 and 3 both had problem syncing and rma both twice before i gave up. plenty of alternatives. garmin is one, currently i m using huawei honor. sooo much better. beautiful screen battery just a bit better, but it synced flawlessly havent have a problem since i got it 6 months ago.

The auto dim is kinda useless. Does Versa2 have these issues?

[@Erick3lias]

Everything sounds great but I would love to leave my phone completely at home and just have my watch track and supply me my music all in one.

[@SantiVelmont]

I see that for many people not bringing their cellphone with them is very important, but I honestly don't see why it's so relevant. Adding features such as having music stored in it and the built-in GPS definitely makes them charge us more for something that one would only use while running/biking. It's such a small inconvenience that can easily be taken care of by one of the greatest inventions ever: a fanny pack.

[@Hmellon92]

Santiago Monsalve Torres the idea that you can run with less bulk is a game changer, especially if you’re running long distances. A fanny pack or a phone in the pocket does make a huge difference to how comfortable your run is.

[@AB-ft7ng]

Haz Melz “Mighty” is a portable Spotify player for $80. About the size of an ipod shuffle

[@SantiVelmont]

Haz Melz That's right. I agree. It's just that I personally don't find that such comfort is worth it to have if that means having a considerable increase in the price. But that's just because I won't be using Fitbit for listening to music. I avoid headphones as much as I can because of the bad consequences that they have for the ears over time. So I acknowledge my point is just very convenient for me. 😅

[@curly208]

If you have an Apple iPhone then get an Apple Watch. It does that and more.

[@sambam007]

Fitbit is great if you constantly like getting awards and congratulations, Garmin is more like "and what. You wanna star? Screw you" I prefer that latter.

[@_snacc_190]

Why is this the most true thing I've ever heard

[@mikeodowd98]

I switched from the charge 3 to the garmin venu. Imo the garmin connect app sucks and garmins sleep tracking is absolutely awful. Garmin obviously better for sports tracking however.

[@is1dre]

@@mikeodowd98 I use the Garmin Connect app with my Forerunner 935 and I think it is excellent.

[@julieleonard6288]

This was the review I was looking for...thank you!! I recently purchased the Charge 4 ( it will arrive Friday) to replace a Garmin watch I have had for many years. The built in GPS is what made me decide to purchase the C4 and after watching your review I know I won't be disappointed. Thank you! Be safe and stay healthy 😊

[@CNET]

Thank you Julie! Stay safe!

[@spencercarruth9706]

Why on Earth would you purchase a Charge 4 when you can find Apple Watches in a similar price range?

Are you able to change a track on spotify on the device whilst in a fitness mode on the charge 4?

[@pahuan]

No! I bought the charge 4 only for.the integration with spotify and you can't use spotify app while running. There is a lot of angry customers on Fitbit's help website for this

[@mariamhesrey115]

When getting outside was a thing😭

[@NileshR12]

This video was filmed in April so we are in the middle of the pandemic lol

[@TheRunTesters]

Wouldn't call GPS a game-changer, the Garmin Vivosport has offered this for a while. Also the GPS in our tests was consistently quarter of a mile out.

[@cole3145]

Sure but there is a difference between a fitness ban and a smart watch...

[@TheRunTesters]

[@rahilarious]

Actually very well done on cinematography. But I'll wait for price drop. You could get fossil gen 5 in $170 but I'd still prefer fitbit over that cause of sleep tracking. 🙌🏼 Fitbit hands down best at tracking

[@bascal133]

[@loth6088]

The only thing stopping me from buying the charge 4 is the dim display.🤔 when you live in a really sunny state like California, you need all the brightness you can get.

[@haileyhanessian1281]

My Fit Bit Charge 2 had GPS. I just got the 4 since I have used my Charge 2 so much.

[@n_o_]

so will charge 4 not give you 11k steps while sitting on lockdown in a 1-bedroom? and will support not tell you any more that "opening doors" or "excess moisture" can lead to the same day counting 21 flights of stairs? because as much as i love being congratulated i dont love the utter demotivation of just being snowed with data.

Easily their most missed opportunity. Especially for fitness trackers like the Charge. Imagine the battery life gains you could get out of e-paper.

[@notall1196]

if it had onboard music i would buy it in a heartbeat ( no pun) I have had the charge 2 for years and still love it. Will continue my search for an accurate tracker with gps and onboard music that doesn't break the bank.

[@NMEofdaST8]

Apple Watch?

[@curly208]

Get the Apple Watch SE $279 is very reasonable.

[@nsragan1971]

It is my understanding the GPS only operates when you start an exercise, so there is no need to turn if off while not in exercise mode. I don't think it saves your battery to turn it off, it isn't "enabled" until the exercise tracking starts.

[@MatthewLabarbera]

I'll take the amazfit bip for a quarter of the price...

[@IsaacJohn]

Exactly with a month of battery life.. needn't buy this

[@jamiethetechgeek]

I have one too. Absolutely love the watch.

[@dmp762]

The charge 4 is being sold for about $150. The amazfit bip is being sold for between $50 and $80.

[@koolstup]

Thanks for the tip...I’ll get the Bip S instead 👍🏼

[@kanewisesa923]

The sensor of the amazfit bip is protruded and causes skin irritation for me. I prefer fitbit’s smooth sensor

[@DarxusC]

So if I don't mind always carrying my phone, I should get a model without gps?

[@pahuan]

Wherever you do, do not buy charge 4. It's overpriced, and you can't use the spotify app while running

[@bgbrunocom]

Q pls still don't know - it's collect sleep automatically without settings ??

Wife gave me this today since I got tired of sending in the Garmin Vivosport for band replacement. I loved the Garmin app. Fitbit not so much. I suppose I’ll get used to it

[@rayaeparker8973]

Hopefully they've fixed the serious display issue! THIRTEEN lines of broken pixels on my charge 3, just a month after purchasing it to help me train for hockey, and there has been NO damage to the watch but no refund in line with warranty because 'I must have done something to it' despite no sign of wear or tear or damage at all.

[@smilelines]

How do you update the firmware? I'm stuck with 1.94.13

[@nightshadesalad]

This video made it sound like you have to turn GPS on and off manually each time you want to exercise. If so, that would be a major blunder on Fitbit's part. They'd be stupid not to have a GPS only during exercise option. My Galaxy Active 2 gets more than 3 days of battery with that setting enabled.

[@slimhim]

Just curious, what’s the benefit to having gps just for it to show you your runs? Do you run in strange areas? If you get lost on your run will it help you find yourself?? 🤔 Please explain to me.

[@danmar007]

"GPS is a game changer because there's nothing I hate more than Big Brother losing track of where I am." The 4 is almost useless outdoors (where I use my 2 ) because the screen is impossible to see unless you only go out at night and you're not standing under a lamppost. Having to block the light with your other hand to get a glimpse of the screen is stupid. Especially when I'm cycling.
