I found notable discrepancies in distances tracked with the Charge 2 compared to GPS sport watches (something Fitbit said was due to bugs after multiple attempts to troubleshoot the issues).įirst, at the most basic level, the Fitbit Charge 2 does what many other activity trackers do. It’s a Charge HR on steroids, a Charge HR that pushes you to do more beyond just basic step-counting and sleep-tracking.īut it didn’t fulfill that promise for me. The promise is great, The reality is different Fitbit has also added 'connected GPS' to the Charge 2: the wristband will pull GPS data from the phone while you’re walking, running, or hiking outdoors. But this key design change enables a multi-sport mode: tap on the display once for running, tap on it again for biking, and so on. The Charge 2 most definitely looks like a fitness tracker, not a bracelet or anything suggestive of a 'fashion' wearable.

What more could it possibly do, you ask? For one, it has a bigger display than the Charge HR.
