Just got mine yesterday, never had a fitbit before, and only ever had 1 other smart watch (that was hella cheap and inaccurate). So far I'm impressed, though I'm definitely still figuring things out about it!
One thing I did not see covered is about the display being viewable outside. the Charge 3 is USELESS in the daylight. Did they fix this on the charge 4?
I love your tech reviews! You put in so much effort and the detail provided is amazing! I bought the Fitbit Versa based on your review an comparison videos :). Thanks for doing what you do!
Ive had mine for over 5 years, works great, my strap just broke so I just need too replace it. Lightweight, yet has everything you need in something so small. Best buy ever!
A year later of normal (not even extreme & mainly sleeping) use and I'm already purchasing a replacement bc the band attachment portion eroded (Not the bands you can easily purchase but the part it clips into in the unit!!!) and the only way I can wear it is by duct taping my still working fitbit unit to my crappy "delux" band. I miss my rose gold charge 2 unit. That thing was far more durable and this never happened in the 3 years I owned that one Fitbit!!! Overall the little fitbit unit worked well if only I didn't have to attach it with duct tape barely a year after purchase! I loved my Fitbit until this happened!!! Final conclusion: This Fitbit is Crappier/Less Durable than my Charge 2 (Buyer Beware)...Fitbit needs to fix this!!!
I haven't swam or taken a shower with my charge 4 yet but will as soon as this video. I haven't used the payment mode yet. Someone please let me know where I could go test it. So far however I love my fitbit. As long as I can keep track of my heart rate and sleep patterns somewhat accurately I'm in love with it. I do hope the charge 5 is much cooler. I'm excited to see what they do
Great review! You know what though? Fitbit previously was quite compatible with Apple IPhone, but now, they have removed some functionality. For example, you can no longer set the alarm for the fitbit on your IPhone. I have the Charge 3, but I am upgrading to the Apple Watch.
You won't believe me , i was checking if you posted a new video then when i did not find a new one i was going to text you when is the date of the new video , suprisingly you posted, i am very happy to see you again hayl , keep going . Love u
No, I must admit it is quite dim hey, it’s definitely not as bright as some of their other models unfortunately, so definitely keep that in mind :) xxx Hope this helps xxx
Most of the features you mention are available on the charge 3 (latest update). Gps and spotify ( and for spotify, you need your phone so i don't get the point) are the only new features. So basically, except for the gps, if you have the charge 3 no point to get the 4.
They couldn't route the cable to the top since it would be obstructed by the watch strap and people would have to take off the strap when they want to charge their watch which would just be frustrating.
Hey there Jemima 😊 thank you so much and if you have an iPhone I would go for the Apple Watch, they just work so seamlessly together and you’ll love it! Xxx
Apple Watch series 3!! You can get it cheaper as there is a newer watch out and is basically the same thing! please don’t make the same mistake I made by getting a Fitbit if you’re looking to monitor accurate steps and calories, I couldn’t lose weight has the Fitbit calories burnt is way off from the cardio machines.
Spotify and so much more . Love the "do not distribute" feature it helps so much with productivity. Need this for my new fitness journey and love tracking progress. Relax mode🤯. Definitely something to consider. PS: Thanks for your great content. It really inspires me.
Have you had any issues with Fitbit burning your skin? I just ordered the versa 2 but I was seeing a lot of reviews saying it can burn or irritate your skin so I was wondering if this is true.
Looking to get a smart watch but I'm more interested in the fitness tracking and sleep tracking capabilities over having notifications and apps etc. Between the Galaxy Watch Active 2, Versa 2 or Charge 4, which would be best for what I'm looking for? I was leaning toward the Versa 2 but with no GPS it would be a bit of a pain during a run. Galaxy Active 2 you don't need to bring your phone with you to use Spotify or while running, but has a much higher price point and many apps I'd probably not use. The Charge 4 seems like a good middle ground, but I just wanted your thoughts. Thanks.
@@mk7967 works great. During a visit to my doctor I was able to see the Heart Rate measure was only 1 point off (which is pretty accurate, to my standards). Its nice having my notifications from my phone on my wrist (text messages and email).im pleased with the battery, it's lasting me around 5-6 per charge. I'm pretty pleased with my purchase. If you have any specific questions/concerns, just let me know and I'll try and check out in my device to give you an answer.
@@miguelm6307 Thanks for getting back to me no I think you pretty much covered it all for me once the readings are relatively accurate I'm happy ordering it today. I guess the only question I have is have you tried Spotify on it just wondering did you have any problems with that that's my main reason for wanting to pick one up I'm sick of having my chunky phone bouncing about when I'm going for runs lol.
@@mk7967 I haven't used the Spotify app much. But to my understanding, you can only control Spotify with it (like skip a song, stop, etc). So, unfortunately you wouldn't be able to go for your run and leave your phone behind. Hope that helps.
I had a fitbit, and for 3 years, I had nothing but difficulty in connecting it to my Huawei android phone. Now that I've got the Huawei Gt 2e fitness tracker. Those problems are over!
Can you see the display in the sunlight? I can’t get FitBit to answer this question. I have a Charge 3, live on sunny Arizona, and it is impossible to see the display in the sunlight. FitBits solution for my 3 is to reset it. It’s not a reset issue, it’s a display issue. I don’t see very many replies in your comments so probably wasting my time right now. Just need someone to review the display outside - try to set up your exercise run on the watch in the sunlight, read a text, tell the time. ☀️ Anyway, love your energy and content! Have a great day!
Just got mine yesterday, never had a fitbit before, and only ever had 1 other smart watch (that was hella cheap and inaccurate). So far I'm impressed, though I'm definitely still figuring things out about it!
May I ask if you're still using it/are happy a year later?
This video responded my questions! Just ordered mine! Made me more excited to get it!!! Thanks for information! 👏🏻
How is it lol I’m thinking about getting one
Where did you get that stainless steel strap? Looks dressy! 👍🏻
You get one on amazon
@@vinsibil2520 thank you 😊
Good job. I'm really in love with your editing.
The editing is smooth. Yeah really good.
Great video breakdown, I love the energy you bring to your videos :)
One thing I did not see covered is about the display being viewable outside. the Charge 3 is USELESS in the daylight. Did they fix this on the charge 4?
@@stevedesilets1105 no I had the same trouble when using the charge 4. Not much improvement in daylight
Your helpful video answered all my questions about this product. Thanks a lot!
Do you think Fitbit will release a versa 3? I'm torn on wether to wait for that it just go ahead and get the charge 4
You’re amazing keep going ❤️❤️
That's a really dope presentation!
I love this watch. I’m wearing mine right now
does it count calories burned?
@@Als1822 lmfao wtf that’s what it was meant for fool
@@moa8839 im new to this fool. hope you're not a teacher.
I love your tech reviews! You put in so much effort and the detail provided is amazing! I bought the Fitbit Versa based on your review an comparison videos :). Thanks for doing what you do!

Hahahaha you ROCK Matt!!!
Just ordered it so excitedddd
Hey Hayls - - why is the display in the fitbit looking quite dim and not bright? Or is it just fine..
No, I must admit it is quite dim hey, it’s definitely not as bright as some of their other models unfortunately, so definitely keep that in mind :) xxx Hope this helps xxx
You post such great content. I love your videos on fitbit and Apple products.
Great review I’m ordering mine now!
I just bought the inspire 2 I love it 😍
I’m new to smart watches. How does the GPS work? Do you have to buy a separate service for a Fitbit?
No ma’am no seperate service for the Fitbit
Most of the features you mention are available on the charge 3 (latest update). Gps and spotify ( and for spotify, you need your phone so i don't get the point) are the only new features. So basically, except for the gps, if you have the charge 3 no point to get the 4.
Can walking distance be measured accurately by wearing it.....?
Does it give you the miles walked/ran? As well as steps?
Yes, you can make it so you can check your miles or steps on the Home Screen when you turn it on
Is it mandatory while sleep we have to connect to phone to track sleeping
What’s the name of the app you’re using??
They couldn't route the cable to the top since it would be obstructed by the watch strap and people would have to take off the strap when they want to charge their watch which would just be frustrating.
hi big fan btw!! I have an iPhone should I get this Fitbit or Apple Watch series 5?
Hey there Jemima 😊 thank you so much and if you have an iPhone I would go for the Apple Watch, they just work so seamlessly together and you’ll love it! Xxx

I enjoyed the review and the creativity of your video. :-) Out of curiosity, what software do you use to create your videos? :-)
Do you need to pay for extra subscription to get some "advanced" Data?
My Charge 2 has a cracked face and a broken band! Might be time!!! Great review BTW!
Did you get one?
Fitbit charge 4 is amazing
👌👌👌👌
It has some really great features!!
I'm stuck on getting it, I really really want it, but I read that it doesn't connect to wireless earbuds! :(
Hy hayls your explaning style very clear and unique 😍👏👏👏👏
Super helpful video. Ordering mine today - can't wait!
How has your experience been with the charge 4?
Spotify and so much more . Love the "do not distribute" feature it helps so much with productivity. Need this for my new fitness journey and love tracking progress. Relax mode🤯. Definitely something to consider.
PS: Thanks for your great content. It really inspires me.
Thanks. I picked one up because of your review.
Thanks for the great entertaining video! Do you know if the software has been updated so that the time display stays on continuously?
Did you mention SPO2 tracking or did I miss that section?
Hey haylsworld... fitbit charge 4 can wear to kids or just adult..plus answering me..
Fantastic review. I am sold!
Omg . Thank u so much . Your video helped me make the correct decision . Thanks
Thanks for information! 👏🏻 Can I change the information on the screen to last longer than fractions of a second?
Hey hayls love your vids
-how much is this watch in cape Town
Great review! Is “walk” an exercise option please?
I have Fitbit and yes, walk is consider an exercise!
I love your videos so much💕💕
Does this watch have continuous calorie count, or is it just when you are in workout mode ?
What is the best for you fitness tracker?? The Fitbit charge 4 or the huawei fit watch???
I found that so helpful!!! Thank you. Good to see a South African girl killing it.
At 2:14, I boubt they can add a color screen with a software update.
Nice review and great product
Is this the special adition one?

Dies Tyus one have the deep breathe relax feature?
You creates really very good videos.
But please tell me in which app you gives so many effects
How accurate is the calorie calculation? If I compare to a running app on my phone it looks very low.
Is this ok for surfing?
Great vid thank you
Let us know which software you use for editing your video.....
Great video...great review. Nice nails. Is that the new studio?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it and no eeeeep not yet, next video miiiiiight be in the new studio, but not to sure yet hehehe.
Is it good to charge the Fitbit until it’s 100% ? Or take it off the charger before?
Thnks queen
Thanks for the info. I'm going to buy it
Where did you buy your grey woven strap from?
Just got mine at Costco discounted $50.00 US currency. Putting it to the test as a middle distance bicycle road bike rider.
It keeps up with your distance while riding your bike?
Nice video very helpful
Which microphone u has used, plz reply ?

Thanks for the analysis.
Which phone do you use iPhone or Samsung
Looking to get a smart watch but I'm more interested in the fitness tracking and sleep tracking capabilities over having notifications and apps etc. Between the Galaxy Watch Active 2, Versa 2 or Charge 4, which would be best for what I'm looking for?

great video
Nice production
Can you pls do a other video on the Fitbit versa vs the Fitbit charge 4 because they are price the same and I want to know which one I should get
I have the Fitbit Ionic. One of my disappointments is you have to have a paid membership with Spotify in order to use the app on the watch.
Thank for the information
Thank you!
Just ordered mine and wanted to say thanks
How is it may I ask?

Is rowing an option?
Great review! I learned so much! Thank you. 😊 I subscribed.
Thank you for the review, i think i have made my choice :)
Love from India ❤️ ❤️😍
How many phones and watches do you have 😂 love you 😍
Will it give you your blood pressure and spo oxygen?
I had a fitbit, and for 3 years, I had nothing but difficulty in connecting it to my Huawei android phone. Now that I've got the Huawei Gt 2e fitness tracker. Those problems are over!
Does it have a blood oxygen sensor?
Pay only works if Fitbit have added your bank - you can't just add your card and HSBC/ BoS not listed, so this function not always available
How can i change the time on my charge4?
Is there anyway I can make the display darker for easier reading?
