In this review, we are going to deal with one such fitness gadget, which is Fitbit Charge HR. We are going to provide you with details of both sides of the product, the good and the bad, so that you can arrive at a conclusion if this product is worth your money.
We are first going to talk about the areas in which this product needs to have some improvements. The first problem that is encountered by users is with regards to its design. The design of this fitness band is not too comfortable and you would, at times, feel uncomfortable when you wear it. The fitting and the design also lead to the band frequently riding up your arm, due to which it can be hidden by the sleeve of your shirt, thereby posing a problem in glancing at it every now and then.
When you conduct rigorous workouts, a drop is witnessed in the accuracy of the device. You must also remember to take this band off before you take a shower or go for a swim since it is not water resistant. The LED display would sleep every few seconds, which might get exasperating after a while. Improvements also need to be brought about in the goal settings of this gadget and the charging mechanism has also been a cause of complain.
Let us now move on to the areas in which the device excels. You would have a continuous track record of your heart rate, which can be transferred to your phone. This ensures that you would be well aware of your workout extent at all times. The accuracy of the resting heart rate is acceptable.
One of the things that work in the favor of this gadget is that it has made workout interesting instead of making it appear like a burden. You can set up a goal for yourself and once you reach it, you can celebrate. You can also share the progress with your friends. Therefore, you can make your workouts a fun activity, instead of approaching it like some grueling task. Details like time, number of steps taken and other such data can all be availed by pressing a button at the side of the band. The band is also more secure than its previous editions.
While this might not be the best thing out there, it is still pretty good. If you are looking to make your workout fun and have the money for it, you should buy this fitness band. However, you should keep one thing in mind that there are details in this gadget which need to be sorted out before it can be deemed as the best fitness band.
