According to our smartwatch expert
The Fitbit Charge 2 keeps you informed of your activities throughout the day, whether you're at work or at the gym. The big screen shows you how many steps you've taken and what your heart rate is. In addition, the tracker analyzes your calorie consumption, sleep rhythm, and the distance you walk. Analyze all of your data on the accompanying Fitbit app. Have you spent too much time at work sitting at your desk? The Charge 2 gives you a sign, when you need to take a little walk. The tracker also indicates when you need to rest by giving you breathing exercises. Messages, calendar notifications, and incoming calls are also shown on the display. Adjust the display to your personal preferences by making a selection from the different
watch faces.
Note: Fitbit isn't compatible with the Huawei P8, P8 Lite, P9, P9 Lite, P10, and P10 Lite.

I've wanted an activity tracker for some time, because I noticed that I can motivate myself well to a walk, but less to a gym session. This while I think it is important to exercise enough and I wanted to lose some weight. I hesitated between the PolarA360 and the Fitbit Alta. Neither of them had the options I wanted. The Fitbit-Alta was beautiful and stylish, but it didn't have a heart rate monitor, didn't track your sleep rhythm, and didn't have a large screen. The Polar does, but I thought it was a bit big and had little choice in terms of straps.
And then suddenly there was the Fitbit Charge2, for me Best of both worlds. I could choose from different fresh colors of watch straps and saw that in the near future even leather straps will be available. I think this is just a bit more stylish and therefore the watch is also more suitable to wear during work. As soon as I received it, I downloaded the accompanying app, the app guided me through the entire configuration process very easily.
I've had my watch for 6 days now and wear it 24 hours a day. My Fitbit Charge2 keeps track of how many steps I take, how many stairs I climb, what my heart rate is, how many km I walk, how many calories I burn, how many active minutes I have per day and what my sleep rhythm is. I can also keep track of how much water I drink in the app. He also encourages me to take at least 250 steps every hour and at the end of the day you have an overview of whether this has been achieved every hour. While I'm writing this review, my watch started vibrating and I got a message that I still had 100 steps to take. After I did that, the watch had a mini-party with a rocket. Very motivating.
Another motivating point is the possibility to take on a challenge with someone. My colleague and I challenged each other to 'Weekend warrior'. Who takes the most steps on the weekend? You can bet that I did my best to sit down with my colleagues for coffee on Monday morning like a winner.
I notice that the Fitbit doesn't always count my climbed stairs, which is a shame, because that's why I lowered my goal, to be able to achieve it. I have noticed that it works if I swing my arm with watch up a little at the top of the stairs. At home that is fine, elsewhere it is... a bit strange. I have also noticed that if I sit or lie still for a long time, this is registered as sleeping time. You can manually adjust this again via the app.
When I receive a call, my watch vibrates and the name of the caller appears, handy if your phone is in your bag. The app and the watch indicate when it is time to recharge. This takes about 2 hours. I do it when I know that I will be sitting still for a long time, for example during a movie. I also set an alarm that makes my watch vibrate during the day as a reminder. Very useful, others don't notice, and I'm reminded that I have to take medication.
The app continuously syncs with the Fitbit, so it is always up to date. There is a circle in the app for each chosen goal, which keeps track of what percentage of your goal you have already achieved. At 100% it turns green.
This week at 11:45 pm I climbed some stairs to the attic to reach my goal and in the evening I take another detour to get to my 10,000 steps. You can also adjust your goals yourself to, for example, 12,000 steps or 2,300 kc burned per day. You can also manually enter your weight in the app.
All goals on green, that is satisfying.
A very positive review, I am very happy with my newest addition and I try to persuade everyone to buy 1 to take on the challenge together. Too bad they are quite pricey, but it also gives you a lot of insight into your health and encourages you to improve that health.

Good product that corresponds to the description and works properly. If your wrist circumference fluctuates around 17 cm, I recommend ordering a Small, then you will have at least 5 holes left on the strap.

Nice and solid activity tracker with the only drawback that you can't swim with it. Easy to use with clear indications and functions.
