Fitbit Charge 2 Deals & Offers

So Alexa changes Tv/Radio channel for you, boils your kettle, adjusts the heating, checks who's at the door, answers your phone, switches on/off your lights sockets etc etc etc, then you ask Alexa to check in with your Fitbit to see how sedentary you are :/

I've asked to Amazon to price match as it's their product and they also sell Charge 2 Large. They don't sell as a bundle, but they might set up one to price match Currys. Maybe they don't know it works with Echo's. :p

Yes to echo and any fitbit...check this out www.tomsguide.com/us/connect-fitbit-to-amazon-echo,review-3474.html

Do the Fitbit and the Dot work together if you have both of them?

That is poor .. a 2017 samsung phone not compatible .. not good .. sorry to hear

Slightly off topic but if going to be using fitbit app on your mobile make sure it is compatible. My husband's mob isn't and I changed my mobile fortnight ago and discovered not compatible. Last mobile was samsung and loved syncing my data every day. This is a 2017 samsung model but not able sync at all and not on list of compatible models. Not happy at all as I thought a 2017 phone would be fine.

I saw the Fitbit charge 2 in Dixon's at Edinburgh Airport for £89.yesterday...if you happen to be flying then may be worth a look...may be national...may not. I already have a Charge 2 but am looking for the wife.

True, both Amazon and Google are pushing these out any way they can. I'm not bothered if it's always listening, I have Google Home because I'm always with my phone anyway - OK Google detection would be activated on my phone if I didn't have GH so Google would be listening either way (I have nothing much to hide as well).

Agreed but It does have a heart rate monitor so that's in line with what you said. Also the active 10 app is terrible

Yeah, for a week or two.....

For some a band provides the motivation to get the extra steps in and start feeling good about themselves

It's not the 1960's. 10,000 steps a day might help you lose some weight, but that is not the same as being fit. Maybe try reading one of the links below, or some of the many, many other views outside of the glossy mags before you blow close to 100 quid. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/10000-step-myth-real-health-goals-should-aim/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42864061 Heart beats, not steps ;)

No it's £75 on the sky store, though irrelevant as it's out of stock.

No, yes. You request heart rate at ny given time.

That's not what I mean. Does it keep track of your heart rate throughout the day or do you have to keep asking it?

Heart rate any time you ask it to.

Does it read heart rate 24/7 like the Charge 2? Just wondering.

Stop messing with expensive rubbish - Xiaomi Mi band 2 is brilliant for under £20! A charge lasts a month too.

A google search, reviews etc all seem ok. Plus used Paypal. But cancelled order as it seems Fitbit doesn't really work well with Strava or Endomondo so no point having it.

And what a chance you've taken. Did you research tobtdeals first?

https://www.tobydeals.co.uk/en_GB/product/fitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-fitness-wristband-large-black-silver.html £86 here, I've taken a chance.

I checked Camelcamelcamel and its been £88 in the past and it looks like a drop is on the way, I'll hold off, but again thanks for the info.

I won't waste my money either....

FIT20 no longer works only the FIT10

Love mine, had it since the end of January and it's been a great motivator to move. I use all the features and link in with community too. This is also a decent price.

Probably voting cold because there's not much features for the price. I found my originally hr to break in the strap too not sure what these are like. For 20 pounds more you could get something like the TomTom spark music cardio with has heart rate monitor, GPS. Waterproof for swimming, 21 days battery, storage for music to play to Bluetooth headphones. I think fitbit you are kinda paying for the name, they do look nice too though :)

It maybe good but I wont touch a fitbit with a brown dollop on a stick. In the space of a week my son had 3 fitbit alta's. 1 lasted 6hrs on a full charge, second was dead on arrival and yhe 3rd lasted 4hrs. Serious quality issues. These were from Amazon, back to mii band 2 for him now.

Still a good buy despite cheaper alternatives, the app is excellent with a big community, and the customer service is very friendly and efficient

I really appreciate this, thank you for taking the time to post. Will get one ordered now.

Hi, just to clear up. The model is the Amazfit Bip (I have the Amazfit Pace Sport). They are both manufactured by a Chinese company called Huami. However, they have both been sold under another Chinese Company's branding, Xiaomi. Confused much? :D The Pace is a reasonable size, about 45mm. I'm not sure on the Bip, but it's shaped more cube like a la Apple Watch. Here's a pic of mine, with a ruler stuffed behind it, against an A4 page with a standard biro reference :) I'd say the Bip sounds amazing for the £38 on this thread! https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xiaomi-huami-amazfit-bip-lite-international-version-gearbest-3787-2894853

Good Morning, Does the Amazon one look huge on the wrist? the pictures make it look really big and I have tiny wrists. I was going to order to the Fitbit one but would really like to look in to an alternative where possible, especially if cheaper and does the same job? Thank you so much in advance.

Done thank you

It's on amazon hawui or something similar. Fitbit support is woeful too

whats the code?

Hi Annedawso can you give me more details about the replacement strap please? Cheers

Bought a Fitbit charge 2 the other week and really impressed. Bought a Milanese Stainless steel strap off eBay for £7 and prefer it the the original strap. It is dressier and comfier. Also tried a Garmin but wanted something that looked smarter that I could wear all the time.

Hi is there a link for that please Bedford? These for its are also reduced now on Amazon, Currys, Tesco and John Lewis.

Just get a Xiaomi Miband 2 for under 20 quid and be done with it. Brilliant bits of kit!

Bought mine from argos Working absolutely fine. No issues at all. Steps tracking is fairly accurate Syncing with galaxy s8 takes about 5 seconds. Overall i am very pleased. My only gripe is wearing it at night is a bit of a disfomfort as i am not used to wearing watch at night while sleep. I have had it for 3 days and i drove too and didnt notice the additional steps added. Might be worth getting another pair as yours might be faulty. I will keep an eye on it but so far i am very happy. If you wana be more accurate get a chest strap and not a wrist band. Personally i use it to gauge some indication of my activity. Messages come through fine too but i use another app for that called "fit notifications" works like a dream. Google fit notifications. Hope it helps

anyone know if this or the blaze is better? I know of the price difference so I suspect the blaze has more functions; feel just not sure if they are needed or make it better. Going up in price again was probably leaning more toward the Samsung gear s3. Is it notably better than the charge and blaze ? Appreciate any help/subjective opinions. Price tag doesn't always mean better hence the questions as to which does the job best. Thanks :)

I got one for Xmas but I'm not sure to be honest. First day it tracked 22000 steps when I barely moved my ass all day. I reset it but it's still over counting my steps (not as bad as 22k though). I may also return - I'm convinced it's faulty. Also takes ages to sync and even with Bluetooth on all day the text/phone notifications don't go to it! (I've ckecked all my settings on the fitbit app too and they are correct). So far I'm disappointed. Last year I bought a cheap xoiami one and although it only lasted six months it was very accurate.

Counting steps always going to be not 100% accurate, I think they have some suggestions on there site like it shouldn't be too loose and that.... but to be honest I am not big fan of these things monitoring me all of the time ;)

I purchased this from Argos on Friday for the same price and returned it today for a refund. I was very unhappy with the tracking side of things constantly adding steps for no reason. The final nail in the coffin was the 3k steps it added while traveling in the car to London (lol) (lol) fitbits advice was to take it off while your driving and charge it or download a app that you activate when driving and it removes the steps etc to much hassle compared to others you can buy. Maybe mine was faulty but looking at the reviews it’s a very common issue with this model

No, it uses assisted GPS. This is where the fitbit app on your phone records the GPS information.

Hi Michael, If you failed to see the joke, maybe you need to get your eyes calibrated as well!

Im interested. As a professional photographer for over 50 years Ive never found anyone anywhere that was able to get their eyes colour calibrated. Tell me more.

I think you've got it right with the brand snobs thing. I had the original mi band, then moved to the mi band 2, great devices with crazy good battery life. I wouldn't touch a Fitbit with a barge pole.

Same with the Withings Activity range of devices. There's a ruck load of manufactures devices that aren't compatible with Huwawei and various other androids.

Had one in my basket on Tesco, went to checkout and price has gone from £99 to £119 within 40 minutes. Annoyed is an understatement!

So what? People are alllowed to prioritise and re-prioritise as they see fit. Not really worthy of you scorn.

Xiaomi phones have aggressive ram management settings by default and this can stop you getting notifications because the apps are killed in the background. This video should show you how to stop this from happening

right, i see xiaomi phones posted a lot on here, and also titbits... that means there must be others that have both like me? How have you got the push notifications to work permanently? Google was helpful at the getting them working to start with, but always eventually it stops working... and now even after uninstalling the app and changing pretty much every setting possible, im not getting any notifications to my fitbit. Ive tried for the last 2 hours to get it working!!!

Fitbit Blaze and Fitbit Charge 2 work with the sensors on your nearby phone to track GPS data (known as "connected" GPS). Fitbit Ionic and Fitbit Surge have built-in GPS. I think £89.99 is an excellent price for the Charge2. As well as the info available on your Fitbit, it's the Fitbit app on your phone and also accessible from your PC that sets it apart from the competitors in my opinion. I've owned other brands in the past.

does it make you lift more? What kind of improvement on my bench I am expected to achieve?

thanks to @daniarawks for also sharing this offer, comments have been merged into @loubunni 's original thread (y)

Heat-just bought one two weeks ago, great little tracker.

Brilliant price.

Black large is cheaper than the small band. Hth

deal expired

£89 at Amazon just posted https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/fitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-fitness-tracking-wristband-small-large-8999-with-free-delivery-amazon-2865464

Gone up to £139 now! Can't seem to find a current 'deal' on Fitbit

Just checked and yeah it looks like it. D'oh! They're all sold out at Microsoft now anyway.

Are all fitbit not 2 year as standard regardless of where purchased from?

Sure, this was seller: https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&ftab=AllFeedback&userid=pavelick-0&iid=-1&de=off&items=25&interval=0&searchInterval=30&mPg=8&page=2

Do you have a link, as I can’t find them on ebay. Cheer

Not too bad a price. Here's how I got my charge 2: On eBay there is a reseller / resellers who are offering "fit bit tracker only", no strap, no box, no charger. So I thought I'd buy that for £55 and get a third party strap and charger for pennies. So I did, and a full, unopened package came through the door, sent from Amsterdam by a courier company that ships exclusively for Fitbit and go pro. I think Fitbit are selling these full packages through a secondary revenue stream. It seems weird but other people commented that they received theirs the same way, I.e an unopened full retail Fitbit charge 2. I don't know the internal reasons, excessive stock possibly, but I'm certain this is the actual Fitbit company doing this, it isn't a hooky back of a lorry job. It had a returns label inside etc. Quite strange.

Not correct. The side panels on the actual display are also differing colours

Agreed. Buy the cheaper one, buy a strap off eBay or etsy

what about the Alta HR Fitness Wristband? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fitbit-Alta-HR-Fitness-Wristband/dp/B06X9NKSW8/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1511533232&sr=8-16&keywords=fitbit+wristband&th=1 Which is best? Alta HR or Charge 2 HR ?

Like the green one (angel)

Black In small is 89.99 when u add it to your basket

I added to my Save For Later list and ordered both a minute ago for £89.99 each and used Nominated Delivery so my card isn't charged. May be worth a look if you also added to Wishlist/Save For Later :)

Ah right ta, to be fair that post lacks a fair bit of info in the brief title. I was toying with buying at £90, and now of course now regret not just doing so, thought would have been around at that price for a while. Keywords now set also (annoyed)

this is for the upgraded strap very.co.uk £99

That's what I'm holding out for, wish I'd have bought a couple earlier in the year when Amazon had them at just under £80

Shouldn't be paying above £109 for this at present but hoping for some deals on Friday

Still overpriced. Cold

£129.99 on Amazon too. Good price.

Ha ha, at least you can use a £1 Watch strap from EBay on a Apple Watch!

These are £6+ on Amazon Deal, usual price ~£8. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mornex-Stainless-Adjustable-Replacement-Accessory/dp/B071Z3JWMJ/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1507286532&sr=8-14&keywords=fitbit+charge+2+wrist+strap
