Fitbit Charge HR vs Fitbit Surge #giveaway

Posted in

For my birthday last year, my lovely cell group gave me a Fitbit Charge HR. I must have done something or said something to receive this as a gift! You see, ALL MY LIFE, no one would have thought of giving me something sporty. And now, I own what was then, the trendiest and most popular fitness tracker! woohooo!

The Fitbit Charge HR is a really neat activity band that monitors your heart rate continuously. This is so important, as you can track workouts, keep track of your resting heart rate and how you are getting fitter (the lower, the better!) and with that, a very accurate sleep quality measurement.

The design is sleep and the interface is very easy to use!

I really like this tracker and i must admit, I have been quite obsessed checking my daily stats. As it syncs easily with my mobile phone, it’s one of my go-to apps at the start of the day! Here’s what happens daily:

When I wake up:

Sleep Pattern

I check how well I slept the night before. I’m not sure how checking would help, but it certainly gives me assurance that I slept well, possibly woke up to pee for the 2 min. On nights when I had restless sleep, the graph is filled with blue lines!

After my morning run: 

I always check out the heart rate, the calories burnt. Here’s an image of the calories burnt. woohoo!

And at the end of the day:

I always check the number of steps I took for the day.

I realised this is quite accurate. Unlike other trackers which may use hand movement to estimate the steps taken, the Fitbit Charge HR takes into consideration your heart rate and calorie count too! Then the husband started using a Fitbit Surge, and his steps are more accurate because his tracker comes with a GPS to measure distance!

And so I started looking at the Fitbit Surge. And here’s a simple comparison table:

Isn’t that really cool? The Operating System is similar and the syncing to the phone is the same. Thus, the tables and charts are the same too! I like the fact that I can read Text messages from the phone and that GPS bit is perfect when I go for runs.
