A good step forward from 1st gen product
4 of 4 found this helpful Overall, I like this 2nd generation Fitbit Charge HR.
The display is brighter than 1st gen Charge HR.
The battery lasts longer.
The connector to charger is more secure.
The "2" seems a bit more water resistant, although I'm hesitant to try.
What I'm not so keen on is the larger size of the Charge 2. The device is longer and thicker on the wrist.
To make matters worse, the thick, long sides of the Charge 2 are lined with shiny silvery metal. I preferred the less obtrusive size/shape of Charge 1.
Nonetheless, I think there are enough advances in the Charge 2 over the Charge HR 1 that I'll keep wearing it. If Fitbit could only make keep the Charge 2's positive features but in a thinner, less obtrusive body.... Maybe that will happen with the Charge 3.
