If you want to buy this fitbit, please reconsider. The Fitbit Charge HR has HUGE quality control problems. The tracker itself works fine, but it's the build quality that makes this a poor buy. When I had mine, small bubbles started to form on the band only seven months in, and ultimately it just fell apart within 8 (the plastic housing under the rubber cracked completely somehow). Fitibit replaced my original one with another Charge HR, but that one fell apart (via the same issues) within 5 months. If only you could change the band on this fitness tracker all issues would be solved. After my second Charge HR died, Fitbit released the Charge 2, with replaceable band. With third-party bands costing less than $10, I can easily replace a worn out band by myself and with better color/material options than Fitbit offers. Yeah, this is a pretty good deal at $62, but I guarantee this Fitbit will fall apart in under a year and this deal is just to help Fitbit get rid of it's now worthless Charge HR reserves. Go with either the Charge 2 or something else.

keegs_is_the_squeezeI agree. I'm not really sure why they are putting up the old Charge, the Charge 2 is so much nicer.

GravityKittyYeah I have the Charge 2 now and it is miles ahead of the Charge HR. Way more features, more robust tracker body, replaceable bands; everything I wanted out of the Charge HR is now in the Charge 2.

keegs_is_the_squeezeI so agree, I now have a FitBit Blaze after 3 of the Charge HR's fell apart on my within 1.5 years. The Charge HR is an excellent tracker but the build quality is less than stellar.

keegs_is_the_squeezeOh, yeah, I had the old Charge (not the HR) I put so much superglue on that danged band over the last couple years, it's not even funny
