The Fitbit Charge 4 boasts some great features, especially personalised Active Zone Minutes - a motivational fitness metric to aim for. It’s our new favourite all-round Fitbit tracker, bests the Versa 2 smartwatch with its built-in GPS, and even matches the Versa 3 in many ways.

The Fitbit Charge line has produced some of our favorite fitness trackers on the market since the original model’s debut in 2014. Now in its fourth generation, Fitbit builds on what we like about the Charge family with the addition of GPS to map your exercise route without a phone, Spotify support, more sleep tools, and a motivating new metric called Active Zone Minutes. Plus Fitbit Pay is now available on all Charge 4 models, not just the more expensive Special Edition. Though we'd like to see a color screen, the $149.95 Charge 4 is an excellent update, and an Editors’ Choice. Design, Navigation, Battery Life, and Setup The Charge 4 looks sleek, measuring less than half an inch at its thickest point. I especially like the styling of the Special Edition (pictured in this review), which costs $20 more than the standard model, but comes with a reflective granite/black woven band, plus a classic black flexible plastic band you can use for sweaty workouts.

Tracking my health is important to me. I use MyFitnessPal to track what I eat, Sleeptracker to monitor my sleep, and the Apple Watch to track my fitness and activity. All that information is tied together in the Apple Health app. The Apple Watch even alerted me to the fact that I might have atrial fibrillation — a diagnosis that was later confirmed by cardiologists.

That’s especially true given that the device now finally offers built-in GPS and new heart-monitoring features. Let’s take a closer look.
