Let me start by saying that today, so far, I've completed 1,422 steps. Now this information wouldn't usually mean much to me but for some reason since I've got my Fitbit, I can't stop counting them! Dammit! It's becoming a vicious competition with my fitbit friends too. Nerdy, perhaps, addictive, absolutely!
The fitbit Charge HR comes soon after its predecessors the Flex, and the Charge and besides being able to tell the time, count your steps and see how far you've walked/run, it's introduced a brand new function that measures your heart rate, hence the HR.
I've never owned a wearable health type device before and sure I could be using my iPhone's Health App to track my steps but the fitbit Charge HR is not only a pedometer or a heart rate monitor but it's also a sleek looking watch that you can wear anywhere, even to bed, because well, it tracks how you slept the night before. I'm not too sure what I'm gonna be doing with this bit of information but it's still cool nonetheless.
Oh, let's not forget how easy it is to sync your daily info onto your smartphone app or even to your computer using its wireless & bluetooth technology! Too easy.
One of my favourite features, once synced with your phone, is that when you get a call on your phone, the caller ID, with a bit of a vibration, shows up on your Charge HR! Come on! That's cool!
So what's the damage? Well, it's RRP is R2,299 at all iStores. Not bad for what you're getting. It might not be a must have but definitely a must want!
