Description

Don't just move more, move smarter with the Fitbit Charge 4 Black. The tracker measures the intensity of your workout based on your heart rate zone. You'll be able to see at a glance whether you've already followed the World Health Organization's advice to exercise 150 minutes in moderate intensity or 75 minutes in high intensity every week. The Fitbit community motivates you, as you can earn badges, share statistics with friends, and compete in challenges. During a run, the Charge 4 registers your distance, speed, and route thanks to the integrated GPS receiver. That means you'll no longer need to bring your smartphone. You can also receive notifications from your smartphone, measure your sleep, and make contactless payments via Fitbit Pay.

Compatibility

In order to use the Charge 4, you need an Android smartphone with Android version 7 or higher. Do you have an iPhone? You need an iPhone 5s or newer with iOS version 11 or higher. The Charge 4 doesn't work in combination with Huawei smartphones.

Sleep stages and sleep score

You can easily wear the watch at night. The sleep mode of the watch dims the display and stops responding to movements. You'll also no longer receive notifications. In the morning, you'll receive a report in the app. You can see how long you were in each sleep phase and what your sleep score is. You'll also receive tips for a better night's sleep.

Contactless payment with Fitbit Pay

If you're going to a bootcamp class, you can leave your phone and wallet at home. Afterwards, you'll be able to buy a bottle of water with your watch via Fitbit Pay. Check whether your bank supports the mobile payment service Fitbit Pay under the 'required bank account'.

Note: you won't receive a connector. Do you want to charge the watch via a power outlet? Use the power adapter of your phone charger or order a charger adapter.

This watch is suitable for a wrist circumference of 15 to 17cm.

Not suitable for the multi-athlete.

  • Nice design for a fitness tracker compared to other brands/types.
  • Fairly user-friendly and intuitive.
  • Sleep tracking useful for better insight, but not always accurate.
  • Everything has to be set up and viewed via the App. Virtually no information and no options on the watch itself.

If you have no experience with fitness trackers yet, this is a nice gadget. The GPS in the Fitbit Charge 4 at this price is a plus. The GPS is in my experience quite accurate.

Furthermore, the Fitbit has disappointed me in many areas, especially compared to other fitness trackers in the same price category. If you are a (relatively) avid athlete, do more than 6 different sports and want detailed data, then I don't recommend the Fitbit Charge 4.

Cons:
* Only 6 types of training can be set on the watch via the App. If you do many different sports, this watch is too limited. Available sports eg. Walking, running, outdoor cycling, outdoor activity, yoga, swimming, spinning, mountain bike, aerobics, cross trainer.
* Watch should recognize activities automatically. In any case, they are not visible on the watch itself. The App has sometimes given a message about an automatically recognized activity, but if you click on more info, the training/activity is nowhere to be found.
* Watch cannot be synchronized with the App without internet. Other brands of watches in the same price category can. I really think the Fitbit Charge 4 is an essential miss. Especially if you like holidays where you don't always have internet available every day, the Fitbit Charge 4 is an absolute no go.
* Hardly any data can be read on the watch. Previous workouts cannot be viewed on the watch. Only in the App after synchronization.
* Only the alarm clock can be set on your watch. All other data that you want/need to set must be arranged via the App, while other brands in the same price category offer much more options in that area.
* Battery life is disappointing. A maximum of 3 - 4 hours with GPS is really not an exaggeration. A normal working day with a workout at the end barely saves it with battery life.
* Not suitable for detailed swim training. Single number of jobs and total time. No heart rate, no time per lane, SWOLF, beat recognition, etc.
* No outdoor swimming mode.
* When using "outdoor training", the watch does not register distance, speed and route if you fall below 4 to 5 km/h. Is therefore not suitable for slow outdoor sports such as swimming, supping or canoeing against the wind, etc.
* No countdown timer or stopwatch available in training mode. Well, if you don't have training mode on. In my opinion illogical and other similar fitness trackers can.
* Watch irritates. The bulge on the back is thicker than most other fitness trackers. This is the first tracker that I actually feel on a daily basis that I have it on, which leaves a mark on my wrist and therefore feels annoying.
* Screen is very scratch sensitive. No tracker has ever been damaged on me. With this screen, a light touch with an object is enough for considerable damage.
* Often takes 30 sec to a minute before your GPS is connected. I don't think it's a Fitbit specific issue. Have experienced that with similar watches as well.
* Stairs doesn't count well, but that is also the case with other trackers.

Advantages:
* I find the Charge 4 very intuitive to use. The App not always. Some things often have to search again for a long time.
* GPS in watch, so you no longer have to take your phone with you to track your training route.
* It is a nice little watch, great for small wrists and in my opinion the most beautifully designed of the trackers in this price category.
* There are loose straps available that allow you to alternate and give it a more "chic" look.
* Sleep registration seems reasonably good and is nice to provide insight into your quality of sleep.
* The feature that I find most distinctive on the Fitbit Charge 4 from equivalent trackers is the “Movement incentives” feature. The tracker very much motivated me with “movement stimuli” to take a minimum number of steps every hour. You can set yourself how many steps per hour you want to take and which hours per day and which days you want the movement incentives on. The Fitbit does this very well compared to other trackers that usually only focus on overall results throughout the day.
* Easy registration of water intake in the App is nice. It is a pity that this is not also possible via the watch and is not visible on the watch.

TOP!

  • Battery
  • Easy to connect with the app

The battery life is really great, I've been using it for 6 days now without charging. All functions work well, only the stairs and pedometer are sometimes not accurate.

A great watch for the money

  • Improvement over Charge2
  • Waterproof
  • Heart rate monitor more accurate
  • battery life when using GPS

I had a Fitbit Charge 2 for three years, but it didn't always display my heart rate (correctly) during exercise. Since I have cardiac arrhythmias, I would like to see this properly. With the Fitbit Charge 4, my heart rate has always been visible until now. However, it took some getting used to a different way of working. I don't always succeed in swiping, but it's up to me... I had imagined more of the display of the oxygen content in the blood. That's something I don't like
