Fitbit Charge 4 review: Affordable GPS at last

Accurate GPS ; Active zone minutes is a good motivator ; Fitbit Pay as a standard feature ; Multi-day battery life ; Finally has Sleep Mode ; Good price

Dated design ; Can only control Spotify music playback ; Limited on-device apps ; Not compatible with Apple Health or Google Fit

Fitbit Charge 4 review

The Fitbit Charge 4 is the best fitness tracker yet, thanks to built-in GPS and helpful new features like Active Zone Minutes.

Accurate, fast GPS ; Big community of users ; Good design

No onboard music storage

But there’s no denying that if you want a fitness tracker to precisely measure your exercise, sleep, and other health metrics, you can’t do better than the Fitbit Charge 4.

Fitbit Charge 4 review: Beautiful and expensive

The Fitbit Charge 4 promises meaningful upgrades compared to the Charge 3, but are the GPS module and Fitbit Pay worth the marked up price?

Long battery life (almost 7 days) ; Discreet and light ; Precise heart rate sensor ; GPS and Fitbit Pay on board

Full range of functions available only with a paid subscription ; GPS not very accurate ; Music control is available exclusively for Spotify ; Fitbit Pay accessible only via credit card in Europe

Fitbit is one of the companies that have made fitness trackers famous and a name that is popularly associated with lifestyle accessories. This expertise can be seen in many aspects of the Fitbit Charge 4. The integrated GPS receiver as an extension of...

Fitbit Charge 4 review: No contest

The Fitbit Charge 4 is the best fitness tracker you can buy, period. Fitbit didn't need to do much to achieve this title again, but it managed to fix all our gripes with the Charge 3 and keep it at the same price point. The built-in GPS is welcome, as...

Sleek, customizable design ; Good battery life ; Built-in GPS ; Fitbit Pay now standard on all models ; Sleep tracking is fantastic ; (Mostly) accurate GPS and heart rate sensors

Finicky inductive button ; GPS can take its time to lock on ; Heart rate sensor can be laggy

Review: Fitbit Charge 4, a great fitness band just got even better

Fitbit Charge 3 has been our recommended fitness band since its launch over two years ago. Is Charge 4 the new go-to device? Read on to find out.

Built in GPS works well ; Like the Charge 3, but better value. ; Useful training tools ; NFC as standard feature ; Decent battery life

Bland design ; Small, monochrome display ; Few apps ; Still doesn't integrate with Apple Health or Google Fit

Smartwatches might be all the rage at the moment but there’s still a market for people who prefer fitness bands. Not all of us want something bulky on our wrist.

Fitbit Charge 4 review: Small and steady wins the race

Fitbit's Charge 4 isn't a flashy update over the Charge 3, but it brings just enough to keep it on top of the pack.

Top-notch fitness, health, and sleep tracking ; Excellent battery life, even with GPS switched on ; Standard GPS and NFC add value

Plastic body is a downgrade from the metal Charge 3 ; No third party apps or music storage

The Fitbit Charge 4 isn't flashy or classy, but it does what it's supposed to and looks good doing it.
