Hello PFB enthusiasts! It’s been a while since I had a fitness tracker review (I still have a bunch of fitness watches on my lineup), but for now let’s have a look at this newest one from Fitbit and read our Fitbit Charge 4 Review Philippines!
In case you are searching for the fitness tracker, which is useful in measuring the sleep, exercise as well as different health metrics, you are sure to fall in love with this exclusive fitness tracker. With a wide assortment of premium features, it has successfully captivated the minds of the end-users.
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. While it shares a similar look like the predecessor, the presence of built-in GPS contributes to making a huge difference. It is also recognized to be a viable alternative for the running of the watches. This product features dual crucial features that play an integral role in bridging the gap between the fitness trackers and the smartwatches. Thus, you can go for a run or walk, in the utmost style.
Size, Weight, and Comfort
This product is known to be slim and comes with a measurement of about 35.8 X 22.7 X 12.5 mm. It is very light in weight and you will feel as if you are not wearing anything. Hence, it is considered to be a beneficial option for people who are looking for a device that should be worn throughout the day and night. 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. The best part is that you are not going to lose the older figures and you can get them back with the aid of the Fitbit application.
Tracking of Heart rate
The optical sensor presents in the inner part of the watch. This plays an integral role in measuring the heart rate each second as you try to work out. It also can measure the heart rate every five seconds during the remaining part of the time. The built-in GPS is believed to be the actual game change for the product. It becomes a viable alternative for the fitness trackers who are fond of cycling, running, and swimming. Apart from this, it also includes the altimeter to measure the climber chairs.
Contactless Payments + Spotify
NFC lends a helping hand for using the Fitbit Charge 4 for the contactless payments via the Fitbit pay. While this may not be rolled-out yet (Fitbit Pay) in the Philippines, this is a handy feature for future use. In addition to this, it also offers a suitable choice for controlling the Spotify application on the phone through Bluetooth!
Waterproof
The device is resistant to water and you can submerge it within the depth of 50 meters. Hence, you can consider wearing it during showers, swimming, sweating, etc. The manufacturer, however, advises you to dry it after some time.
Display
The backlit OLED display of this model is known to be clear and bright under the direct sunlight also. You can charge this product via the USB cable through the large clip. It helps to inline the connectors up around the body of the watch. It is possible to charge the product completely in an hour. You will be amazed to know that it can last for about a week, after a single charge.

Interface
The interface of Fitbit Charge 4 is known to be intuitive. A discrete button is present on the left-hand edge as the controls. You can scroll via the menus simply by the swiping of right and left and press on the selected option.
As you swipe up, you will be capable of getting the daily statistics successfully. This includes step count, the calories which are burnt, and the total amount of distance that is traveled. You can go back to the previous screen with the lone button.
Tracking of the activities
As it is time to be active, this watch stands second to none in conferring gentle buzz. This is a reminder that it is a time for getting up as well as stretching the legs. It is possible to adjust the frequency via the application. You can also disable the same entirely via the application.
The best thing about this product is that it is capable of tracking 6 activities. It is possible to create the shortcuts for four upon the device. But you have to pick and select the ones which you use frequently.
Although the device is capable of detecting as you start a workout automatically, you will fail to see the GPS map of the workout till you choose the activity type before starting. As you have accomplished the same, you will get the route together with the distance, speed, and heart rate. As you dig a bit more on the post-workout stats, you can find the Active Zone Minutes, steps taken, the calories burned which can be deleted, edited, and shared.

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.
