Verdict

The Fitbit Charge 4 is a lightweight, water-resistant fitness tracker (up to 50m) featuring a 1-inch monochrome OLED touchscreen, built-in GPS for phone-free activity tracking, and an altimeter for measuring floors climbed. Key characteristics include 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO2 sensors for blood oxygen tracking, and the Active Zone Minutes metric to optimize workout intensity. Main pros include its slim design, built-in GPS, Fitbit Pay for contactless payments, and a battery life of up to 7 days (though this drops to approximately 5 hours with continuous GPS use). Major cons include a basic grayscale display that can be difficult to read in direct sunlight, the lack of an always-on display, and no onboard music storage beyond basic Spotify playback controls.
