The Fitbit is one wearable technology that has been widely sold worldwide. The device has easily become one of the most used activity trackers in the market, especially since the Fitbit Charge 2 has significantly improved as opposed to its predecessor, the Charge HR.

Fitbit Inc. is an American company that has been successful in providing quality activity trackers such as the Fitbit Charge HR, which is the most popular wearable tech in the market today. Wearables such as the Fitbit Charge HR has become popular over the years for its physical health tracking features that helps its users with their overall fitness progress. However, the Fitbit Charge HR might just hand over its title as the most used wearable today to its successor, the Fitbit Charge 2.

The Fitbit Charge 2 boasts a significant improvement over its predecessor. The new activity tracker sports a larger screen, better exercise tracking, and more informative stats all for the same price as the Fitbit Charge HR,

The Fitbit Charge 2 is equipped with heart-rate monitoring and a new relax mode that is similar to that of the WatchOS 3's breathe app. The new relax mode can be used by Fitbit users to enhance their breathing. What's more is that the Fitbit Charge 2 can now track its user's distance by tapping into the user's phone's GPS.

New modes can also be found in the Fitbit Charge 2, including modes for weight training as well as interval training.

As for the device's design, the Fitbit Charge 2 sports a larger screen than the Charge HR, which enables it to show more informative stats. It is also equipped with interchangeable bands coupled with a new easy-to-buckle clasp, a feature that wasn't available in the Charge HR.

And just like its predecessor, the Fitbit Charge 2 is also water-resistant. The device can withstand "sweat, rain and splashes," according to Fitbit.
