The Fitbit Charge 4 is undoubtedly one of the best fitness trackers on the market right now.
In an era where smartwatches dominate the wearable fitness market, few companies are adopting fitness trackers.
Even fewer people are adopting fitness trackers with significant updates. Fitbit is one such company that takes its fitness trackers as seriously as it takes its smartwatches. That means you can expect its fitness trackers to pack all the good stuff a fitness tracker can hold and more. With Charge 4, Fitbit does just that.
FITBIT CHARGE 4 UPDATES Fitbit Charge 4 provides significant updates to its Charge 3 fitness tracker. While the company may not have redesigned it, it only added the right mix of features to help the Charge 4 qualify as a worthy successor to the Charge 3.
Fitbit has added Fitbit Pay, Spotify support, and built-in GPS, which is mostly found in mid-range and premium smartwatches - and those features are critical.
We'll talk about this in detail in the review below. So keep reading ...
FITBIT CHARGE 4: DESIGN But first, a little about design.
The Fitbit Charge 4 has a design very similar to the Charge 3. This means you get a 1-inch black and white OLED display enclosed in an aluminum chassis. The display is bright and crisp and easy to see under the sun. The touchscreen controls do their job equally well and function flawlessly every time.
At the bottom of the dial, you get a charging pin along with a bunch of sensors, and on the left side, there is a tactile touch button that allows you to easily navigate the fitness tracker interface. Charge 4 comes with two sizes of silicone bands and you get three color options to choose from: Black, Black dial with blue straps, and Rosewood.
Fitbit Charge 4 vs. Versa 2: Which is Better to Choose? All of this, with the exception of the colors, is of course similar to what the Charge 3 offers. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Charge 3 has a design that is comfortable to wear, even for a long time. Charge 4 follows this rule up to the tee.
It is comfortable to wear no matter what you do or under what circumstances you use it, even in the rain .
Fitbit claims the Charge 4 is water resistant to 50 meters and can track your swimming workouts as well.
This means that accidental splashes of water, be it rain or pool water, should not harm it. All in all, the Charger 4 is comfortable to wear even at night as it monitors your sleep quality. Well, almost convenient. I've used it to test the sleep tracking feature, and in my experience it's comfortable enough that I never wanted to rip it off my skin, which says a lot.
CHARGING THE FITBIT 4: THE EXPERIENCE And now about the experience.
The fitness wearable device market is getting more competitive with every new device released. In the case of smartwatches, it is about including as many premium features as possible. With fitness trackers, it's about getting the built-in smartwatch functionality on a device that's not so glamorous. Fitbit Charge 4 reflects this trend.
It offers everything you could see in a fitness tracker, from guided breathing sessions and heart rate tracking to sleep tracking, sedentary reminders and goal reminders.
It then takes it a step further by offering features that only a few fitness trackers can offer.

The list includes Heart Rate Zones that give you real-time stats to help you make your workouts more productive, a Training Intensity Map that works in tandem with Heart Rate Zones to give you an overview of your workout and its impact, built-in GPS that lets you leave your phone at home when you're out for a run, Fitbit Pay and Spotify support.
What helps to make sense of all the information the Charge 4 transmits is the Fitbit app , which turns statistics into useful information. Fitbit hasn't drastically changed the overall interface of its Fitbit app over the years. This breeds familiarity.
But that's a good thing, as it is this interface of the Fitbit app that makes it easy to use for both new users and loyalists alike. While Fitbit has added a ton of new features to the Fitbit app and made it more useful for fitness enthusiasts, it has made the change — radical as it may be — in a sustainable way.
FITBIT CHARGE 4: CONCLUSION In conclusion, the Fitbit Charge 4 is undoubtedly one of the best fitness trackers on the market right now. It has the best of what fitness trackers have to offer and is one step closer to what smartwatches have to offer with updates like built-in GPS and Spotify support. There is room for improvement, of course, but at under $ 10k, the 4-th fee is the best you'll get right now.
