There are a host of fitness trackers available in the market- from basic features-packed bands to more advanced version that offers a blend of fitness tracker and a smartwatch. Although some brands offer fitness trackers at a low cost that can get away with the regular tasks, the difference is clearly visible when you pick a product from top wearable vendors.

Fitbit, the brand which is popular in the fitness band market has expanded its portfolio with the debut of its new tracker- the Fitbit Charge 4.

That comes as a high relief given you won’t have to take out their phone while jogging, hiking as the information will automatically be recorded to the app. The Charge 4 also gets the new fitness metric called Active Zone Minutes that automatically the heart rate and uses your personalized heart rate zones to track effort for any rigorous activity and award minutes to a daily goal.

Also, it includes some smartwatch-like features- app notification, smart wake, stopwatch, weather, etc. The tracker gets seven GPS-supported activity presets.

The Fitbit Charge 4 also debuts with Spotify Connect and Control to allow easy access and shuffle of music playlist on the wrist. Like Charge 3, it can monitor heart rate, track steps, and sleep.
