Fitbit introduced 2 new fitness bracelets Charge and Charge HR, as well as “super watches” Surge
The latest loud news from Fitbit was unpleasant: the company decided to withdraw all the Fitbit Force bracelets due to the unfortunate material of its case, which could cause irritation on the wearer's skin. Two models came to replace him: Charge and Charge HR , which were officially announced today along with Fitbit Surge's super-watches .
The difference Charge from its predecessor is minimal and consists primarily in a modified case, which looks nicer and will not cause an itch. This is an entry-level fitness bracelet that allows you to track key indicators, such as the number of steps or distance traveled. Charge can also notify about an incoming call, highlighting the caller's name on the OLED-display - Force received such a function only with the update. On the company's website, the model will be ordered for $ 129.

For those who want to track the heart rate, a more advanced version of Charge HR is presented. By the way, HR is a “heart rate”. The measurement will be carried out using the company's own technology, which uses LEDs to track changes in circulating blood volume. Worth the bracelet will be only $ 149. A small difference in price is pleasant, but additional opportunities make the accessory discharge significantly faster: with standard use, the usual Charge will live 7 days, and the Charge HR - 2 days less.
For those who want more, they showed Surge. Fitbit immodestly calls them “super watches.” Unlike its younger comrades, the model is able to track the route traveled with the help of a GPS module (they did not forget about tracking the CRR either). Enlarged display is now touch. It can be used to control music and read text messages. Unfortunately, the possibility of installing applications or tracking all notifications from a smartphone is out of the question - I don’t see anything “super”, and you? But with the battery life everything is in order: Fitbit Surge will live on the athlete's arm for about 7 days. Price: $ 249. The Verge also notes the small thickness of the device.
Despite the active race for leadership in the market of fitness trackers and the upcoming New Year holidays, Fitbit does not seem to be in a hurry anywhere: 3 new models will be available for purchase only in early 2015. I recall that at this time should come out and the main flagship of wearable devices - Apple Watch.
All 3 devices are already available for purchase from us:
