I got the charge 2 hr. It has food logs, fluid intake logs. Gives good idea of calories burned and good weekly stats , so you can see your improvement.

It's not a thing of beauty, and to get the best heart rate data, they recommend you wear it to sleep. ( it will also tell you your sleep stages!!)

I found it hard to sleep in initially, but I have got used to it now.

I'm sure a lot of the functions are not essential.

I do like the hr function, as I have seen real improvement since I started, and the calorie tracking gives me an idea where I'm up to, although I know I have put weight on!!!🤨

Thank you! That's the one I've been looking at!

Do you have to have your phone with you? Or can you sync it afterward?

Now that I don't know for certain , as I have my phone too. But I expect you can do it after, in fact you must be able to.

It only likes being connected to one device at a time though. So mine is paired to my phone and iPad, but to sync one, I have to switch the Bluetooth off on the other.

I hope this makes sense .

I love my fitbit charge 2, You can sync it afterwards, sometimes I only sync it once a day. I haven't used the calorie intake bit but it does give me an indication of how many calories I am using a day.

I have a Fitbit Alta HR and I love it! I think the charge might have an extra function or two but they weren't functions I needed. Yes you can sync whenever... Same day, next day.... And you can customise your phone screen (for example I don't want my weight showing so I hide that then unhide it to update once a week then hide it again in case anyone sees it haha!!)

I have a blaze but pick up my new Versa tomorrow as it's an early birthday prezzie.

I wear my blaze all the time and like all the stuff you can do on it as it has an interactive screen.

Not what you're looking for?
