Fitbit Charge 4 Built-In GPS

The presence of built-in GPS, as well as other health features, contributes to making it the best fitness tracker available in the market.

You can also wear it occasionally for giving your skin the ultimate rest.

Why users are fond of it?

A crucial reason why end-users favor the product is that it is considered to be the best alternative for saving the activity data of the previous week in detail. It is also believed to be an amazing option for saving the steps climbed, distance, the total number of steps, and the calories which have been burned for the past 30 days.

Fitbit Charge 4 Review Philippines: Final Thoughts

PROS

  • Great design with no price increase from Fitbit Charge 3
  • Faster and accurate GPS
  • Tracking of Heart Rate

CONS

  • No updates in Design
  • Display (Monochrome)
  • No Inbuilt Music

The Fitbit Charge 4 is really an improved version of its predecessor, the built-in GPS feature is an excellent addition. The Monochrome Screen isn’t a drawback in general use. But it does make the watch face less attractive than we would have liked.

The interface is superb, and you get used to it, which provides enough information at once without making the screen cluttered. The app is also very useful, even though you’ll have to pay for Fitbit Premium to get the best out of it, but you can also try the free trial before investing in the Premium services. Whether you are using it for the first time, or you are an amateur athlete, the Fitbit Charge 4 functionality guides you to improve your everyday habits.

We hope you enjoy this thorough review of Fitbit Charge 4 review Philippines, until our next fitness tracker review!
