Factor in its super sleek design and swimproof capabilities and you’ve got a sweet package. With built-in GPS, heart-rate monitoring and a myriad of other “smart” features, it packs a huge bang for your buck when you consider its $150 price tag. The Fitbit Charge 4 is the latest device from health and fitness tracking giant Fitbit, which was released April 13 and has its most advanced combination of sensors and features yet. Also, important disclaimer: due to current restrictions, this watch has not yet been tested in swim mode or treadmill mode, but we’ll get to those as soon as we’re able. Perhaps most importantly for us triathletes, the Charge 4 presents a relatively affordable way to get into heart-rate training as well as Strava, which, up until now, you’ve always needed to either carry a phone or have a more expensive GPS watch in order to access. There are so many functions and features that it feels like there’s no part of your life the Charge 4 won’t be able to help you with: swim, bike, run, hike, walk, sleep, Spotify, food tracking, sleep scores, mindfulness breaks, even COVID-19 hand washing reminders. Released earlier this week, it’s pitched as “the most advanced health and fitness tracker,” boasting built-in GPS, heart-rate monitoring, sleep tools, Fitbit Pay, and so much more, well, it’s taken until now to truly get into everything. They say good things come in small packages-and the new Fitbit Charge 4 is definitely living up to that cliche.
