Product Information

Fitbit claims that the Fitbit Charge 2 offers up to five days of battery life, and while we didn’t get quite that much when reviewing it, we were making extensive use of all its features. Design-wise, the Fitbit Charge 2 is much the same as other Fitbit devices, and feels a little like the lovechild of the Charge HR and the Fitbit Surge.

While the Fitbit Charge 3 might look similar to the Fitbit Charge 2 at first glance, look closer and it’s a very different device. The Fitbit Charge 3 should last longer though, as Fitbit claims this can keep going for up to 7 days. Heavy use will probably decrease the longevity, as with the Charge 2, but we’d expect you’ll still get more life out of it than its predecessor overall. Fitbit Charge 3 vs Fitbit Charge 2 price and availabilityOn the Fitbit Charge 2 you can’t interact with notifications at all, so if you want to do more than read them you’ll have to get your phone out. In other words then at full price the Fitbit Charge 2 is very similar to the Fitbit Charge 3, but it’s often cheaper in reality and will probably get cheaper still now the Charge 3 is out. Takeaway

The Fitbit Charge 2 remains a decent device as well though, so if you don’t need the new features and can find that for substantially cheaper it too could be a good choice. It has all the same core features but with lots of newer and better ones too, notably the likes of swim-proofing and longer battery life have been added.
