However, I found the touchscreen to be a little unresponsive, but it is not particularly frustrating – you just need to give it an extra tap sometimes.
#Charge 2 plus
Having that said, the screen is still relatively small and it's not colour, but it is an OLED display, new selection of watch faces and the larger vertical display mean I can see time, steps and heart rate all at once – plus it's a touchscreen, which is a first for the Charge range. There's a much larger screen here than on the Charge HR – but the device is a fair bit thicker too, so you may not be a fan if you liked the compactness of the last version.
#Charge 2 update
There's not all that much reason to update from the Fitbit Charge HR, but as a first Fitbit tracker, or a replacement for a less-substantial model, the Fitbit Charge 2 is well worth a look. The additional fitness features bring this Fitbit closer to being the best option for those who want to be able to wear the same tracker day in day out. But if you're after something to track your daily step count, and a bit of exercise every few days, this is one of the best choices money can buy. If you're after a running watch you won't want the Fitbit Charge 2. But if you're looking for a fitness tracker to monitor your heart rate throughout the day, and want multi-sport tracking features, then you'll want to consider the Fitbit Charge 2. The design has improved a bit, and the larger display is useful for running through your stats as well as for checking phone notifications, but those are things the Fitbit Blaze already offers, yet for a higher price.

The Fitbit Charge 2 isn't a massive advance on the Fitbit Charge HR.

You can consider this device more of an evolution than a reinvention, but by correcting many of the shortcomings of the original, the Charge 2 proves to be a great all-rounder. Packed with everything you could want, except GPS, the Charge 2 covers all of the basics. As original Charge HR owner, figured I'd try my hand at the newest Fitbit Charge 2. So it's not surprising Fitbit has taken everything that proved popular on the original and used this as a basis for the Charge 2.
