I purchased mine straight from Fitbit.com. It’s called the “Sport Band”. Make sure to get the one specifically for the Charge 4 (not Charge 5, as they aren’t compatible). It might be on Amazon as well.
This is the best Fitbit Charge of all the Charge series so far. (including Charge 5 which is trash) Still using Charge 4. I have them all, including the Versa's.
Quite accurate for both! I'll be doing some more thorough testing, but I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate the heart rate was (even when I got to my peak heart rate zone, which is usually when they -- Fitbits -- crap out). Fitbits are the best wearables for sleep tracking, and my first night of sleep was accurate in determining the time I went to sleep and woke up (even though I didn't get out of bed right away, I noted me as awake).
Do you mean clock face? I wrote up a blog post showcasing all 24 clock face options. You can read it here: wearablewhisperer.com/fitbit-charge-4-clock-faces
The reflection is good, but not as bright as true reflective material like on cycling gear or even running shoes. I took a picture of all three, so you can compare for yourself: wearablewhisperer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_1597-scaled.jpg
I purchased the Charge 4 Special Edition and the charging device doesn't fit, and it doesn't have the gray on it 😒 I've tried everything and it will not charge. I have a Charge 2 so I know how it's suppose to snat into place. I think I'm going to send it back. Which is the best Fitbit? I bought it for the waterproof and GPS system built in.
If the charging cable doesn't have the gray on it, then it's probably best to send it back. In my opinion, the Charge 4 is the best Fitbit if you like the wristband style. The Versa 3 is the best Fitbit if you like a watch style. Versa 3 is also waterproof and has GPS built-in.
Hey! good review! I'm hard hearing and i'm having trouble to find something strong enough to wake me up. i'm between the charge 4 and the apple watch 3. Which one would you recommend? I don't care too much about other functions as long as i have a strong alarm.
I had a fitbit previously. When I went to setup the fitbit 4 on my phone, it said since I already had a fitbit account with the same email account it wouln't let me continue to set it up. I deleted the fitbit app and that didn't matter. Can you please help me with this?
My current favorite wearable is the Apple Watch Series 5, but I still wear a Fitbit at night for sleep tracking (Fitbit still has the best wearables for tracking sleep, in my opinion). I’ll be wearing the Fitbit Charge 4 24/7 for at least a few weeks while I test it out to inform my review and comparisons.
Is the sport band less irritating than the classic one the classic ones tend to irritate my wrist sometimes does the sports band do that too or not just got the black charge 4 and the berry sport band
Versa 1 has a better display (color and can be always-on during workouts), can store and playback music with Bluetooth headphones, access to Fitbit’s App Store , and significantly more options for clock faces, but shorter battery life (4 days vs 7 days) and harder to change bands. I personally think the better display of the Versa 1 is worth it over the Charge 3.

FYI the charge 3 charger does work on the 4. takes a bit to fit on, but it works
that old band actually looks dope!!
For my birthday im buying the fitbit charge 4 and fitbit versa 2. Im planning a fun day.
Andrew Cox why do you need both?
Hello there, nice video, I've just got the Charge 4 SE, was wondering where may I purchase your awesome silicone breathable strap from?Thanks
I purchased mine straight from Fitbit.com. It’s called the “Sport Band”. Make sure to get the one specifically for the Charge 4 (not Charge 5, as they aren’t compatible). It might be on Amazon as well.

@@wearablewhisperer thank you
You’re welcome 😊
This is the best Fitbit Charge of all the Charge series so far. (including Charge 5
which is trash) Still using Charge 4. I have them all, including the Versa's.
The more important questions are, how accurate is the heart rate monitor and sleep tracking?
Quite accurate for both!
I'll be doing some more thorough testing, but I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate the heart rate was (even when I got to my peak heart rate zone, which is usually when they -- Fitbits -- crap out).
Fitbits are the best wearables for sleep tracking, and my first night of sleep was accurate in determining the time I went to sleep and woke up (even though I didn't get out of bed right away, I noted me as awake).
@@wearablewhisperer how would you compare the accuracy of the Fitbit to the Samsung Galaxy Fit?
I haven’t personally used any Samsung wearables, so I can’t compare.
Thank you for this video! really helps me to decide! =))
You’re welcome! 😊
Is there an interface where full dates are shown?
Do you mean clock face? I wrote up a blog post showcasing all 24 clock face options. You can read it here: wearablewhisperer.com/fitbit-charge-4-clock-faces
Wearable Whisperer thanks. This was exactly what I wanted. Time to upgrade from my charge 2.
Just by curiosity, did you try using the reflective band at night and how is the reflection?
The reflection is good, but not as bright as true reflective material like on cycling gear or even running shoes. I took a picture of all three, so you can compare for yourself: wearablewhisperer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_1597-scaled.jpg
@@wearablewhisperer Thank you for the picture. Exactly what I was looking for.

Snap in place

If I were you I would get the Fitbit charge 4
got mine yesterday. the strap is more comfortable than the black straps, just doesn't look as good
I agree
I had a fitbit previously. When I went to setup the fitbit 4 on my phone, it said since I already had a fitbit account with the same email account it wouln't let me continue to set it up. I deleted the fitbit app and that didn't matter. Can you please help me with this?
Can you log in to the Fitbit app instead of trying to create a new account?
Remove your old Fitbit from the account. And add the new one
What are you wearing today? You had an Apple Watch on in the video.
My current favorite wearable is the Apple Watch Series 5, but I still wear a Fitbit at night for sleep tracking (Fitbit still has the best wearables for tracking sleep, in my opinion). I’ll be wearing the Fitbit Charge 4 24/7 for at least a few weeks while I test it out to inform my review and comparisons.
How do you set it up
I just published a video on how to set it up. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/b9A4Jehbeh0/v-deo.html
Mine had 2 charging cables, not complaining tho
Is the sport band less irritating than the classic one the classic ones tend to irritate my wrist sometimes does the sports band do that too or not just got the black charge 4 and the berry sport band
I think so. I love the sport band.
@@wearablewhisperer ok thanks so much because I'm tired of the metal bands and other materials
I am SO sad because my birthday was in febuary and I got the charge 3 and now I want the charge 4 now...lol
I would be sad too!
Wearable Whisperer thanks appreciate it. I LOVE OYUR CHANNEL AND I SUBCRIBED!
Wearable Whisperer hello quick question. My Fitbit charge 3 is playing up and o might get them versa. What is better versa 1 or charge 3? Thanks
Versa 1 has a better display (color and can be always-on during workouts), can store and playback music with Bluetooth headphones, access to Fitbit’s App Store , and significantly more options for clock faces, but shorter battery life (4 days vs 7 days) and harder to change bands. I personally think the better display of the Versa 1 is worth it over the Charge 3.
Wearable Whisperer thank you so much. I got my Fitbit charge 3 two months ago and it is playing up. My parents might upgrade me
Did i actually just watch somesone take 13 minutes to explain how to charge and put bands on a watch?
