Has Anyone Got.... A Fitbit Charge 2?

Fitbit Charge 2......I read about this fitness wristband, that measures how many steps you take and alerts you when you’ve been sitting too long. It also measures your heartbeat plus it has other features.

At around £109.99, I wondered if they are any good and worth that much money?

No fit bit but when I read the thread title I thought you were talking about a fidget spinner which I'd love to try!

I would never spend so much money on a fit bit.

My friend has a fit bit Art. Quite frankly I can't see the point in them. A lot of money for very little really.

Seriously doubt it. You managed to get along in life quite fine without knowing your heart rate or how many steps you have walked !

Just a fad that will come and go.

Just eat healthy foods, walk now and then and don't engage in unhealthy activities and all will be well.

Re: Has Anyone Got.... A Fitbit Charge 2?

I have a fitbit Alta, I've had it since March. It doesn't measure my heart rate, but since I've taken up walking everyday I find it good for measuring the distance I do. I've set a distance goal of 5 miles a day, or 12,000 steps. Some times I do more.
The longest walk I do is 6 miles which I try to do at least once a week.
