These both make the Charge 4 a solid contender with other fitness trackers. Fitbit has also added GPS and altimeter functionality. Steps (plus steps climbed) and distance covered over the last 30 days get stored on the Charge 4. Going monochrome also helps with battery life, which in my books is good a design decision. The OLED screen is greyscaled which could get seen as a downer for those wanting colour, but it is bright even under direct sunlight. The woven strap looks and feels more upmarket and is less likely to cause skin irritation. Silicone watch straps often react with the wearer’s skin and (in my opinion) they look cheap. These are a black silicone number and a nifty woven nylon jobby.
The review unit (a Charge 4 Special Edition) comes with two straps. The monochrome look of the Fitbit Charge 4 As it’ll get worn round the clock, being comfy and unobtrusive is only ever going to be a good thing. The Fitbit Charge 4 is so slim and light that you could forget it’s strapped onto your wrist.
In my review of the Fitbit Charge 4, I look at the advantages and disadvantages of upgrading to the new model.ĭesign-wise, Fitbit chooses to stick with what worked well with the Charge 3. Given the shiny new features baked into the Charge 4, this price point looks like pretty good value for money. Price-wise, this isn’t all that different from the Fitbit Charge 3’s launch price. Fitbit’s latest looks identical to its predecessor but PAT PILCHER discovers that for the same price it’s much smarter.ĭepending on where you shop the Fitbit Charge 4 can be had for as little as $269.95.
