Read all literature on both it and the fr225 and pulled the teigger on it in January 2016. It seemed to have all I wanted and then some (tho the icing on the cake would have been internal storage for music but Ibdidnt like the tomtom spark). Lucky for me the garmin 235 came out November 2015 and o immediately was in love. Also, the Fitbit was no looker and I constantly had to make excuses for why it was so mundane and unattractive.

Luckily for me I was already seeking to replace mine for a true running watch but I really loved the novelty in the wrist based heart rate tracking of the Fitbit so I was looking around for something with gps on board but also wanted that wrist based heart rate and would also like the accelerometer for treadmill runs and step tracking without a footpod (so basically everything from the Fitbit plus gps and running oriented apps). First the battery would die randomly, then one had charge that lasted a joking 2 hour, followed by one that just stopped powering on. First I went through like two replacements and so did like th ree members of my family as the devices began failing for all sorts of reasons. Now to he caveats I had with the Fitbit charge hr.

The charge he was an awesome device for all of the three months I had it and it a great first step for a beginning runner or just a person who just wants some form of motivation (trust me motivation is very needed when it comes to working out) and the social aspect of Fitbit is awesome, the user interface is simple and easy to understand and goals are easily set and modified. Reason I ditched the Samsung (yes I ditched it because the battery life was a joke so I parked it like its hot) and switched to a Fitbit charge hr. Excellent watch for the person who want comprehensive infoīefore I start let me state that I'm coming from a Fitbit and before that a Samsung gear 2 and that is the breadth of my activity tracking devices previously.
