The upshot: With a Charge 4, users can now record location-based details of their outdoor workouts (and glimpse data, such as current pace or distance traveled while exercising) and not have to carry along a phone. This is a marked change for Fitbit, which had been relying on what it calls “connected GPS” in most of its devices to map and measure a wearer’s runs, bike rides, walks, or other outdoor distance-related activities using the GPS chip in the device’s linked smartphone.
It’s what Fitbit put inside the Charge 4 that’s new and arguably improved: that GPS chip, capable of geolocating the wearer’s location using either the GPS and GLONASS satellite networks. My Charge 3 normally sports a woven fabric band, available on special edition models and for sale a la carte, which is infinitely more comfortable. (The charge cables are interchangeable as well.) However, Fitbit also didn’t replace the stock inch-wide plastic strap, either-it’s stiff and cuff-like and gets sweaty during exercise, and is one of the only low points on the otherwise excellent Charge devices. I studied it side by side with my Fitbit Charge 3 and can’t see any visual differences at all, in the overall style, the display menus, or even the clock faces available for download. I can't see any visual difference between the Charge 4 (left) and the Charge 3 (right)-can you? (Aside from the fact that this Charge 3 has the "rose gold" finish.)įrom the outside, startlingly little.
