hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room making a very quick video for you guys yesterday Fitbit announced a replacement to their best-selling activity tracker on the market it's the brand-new Fitbit charge 2 now it's going to be priced at $150 retail here in America and 130 pounds in the UK did check Amazon for some reason the pre-order price right now is a hundred and fourteen dollars now I did place a link in the video description below click on my link and hopefully that price is still there I'll put up a screenshot of what it looks like as proof here so you guys don't think I'm trying to tell you guys I clickbait or anything like I've always said on my channel I want to be known as a trustworthy Channel but my review should be coming out shortly after the fitbit's hit store shelves well getting into what has been released so far I'll list them so it's easier for you to follow some of the same things do return like the five-day battery life there's all day tracking Auto sleep tracking which is pretty standard there's Auto exercise recognition water resistance makes a comeback but it's only sweat rain and splash proof just like the previous generation it's still not a hundred percent waterproof just yet and the HR sensor makes a return however using fitbit's proprietary pulse scent technology and with my testing and the previous models here it's still not 100% accurate not close to the chest straps that is but it's honestly like that with most risk-based HR trackers on the market and of course this works on Android Apple and Windows Phones as well now getting into what is new though right off the bat and new and bigger display which I'm completely thrilled about hopefully making this play much more easier to read it's not touch sensitive unfortunately per the verge when the there article yesterday so you do have to use the physical button on the side now another improvement is receiving calendar notifications text messages and like before incoming phone calls my concern or desire with these bans though if they're displaying incoming text I hope it has the ability to display the entire message as some bands in the passive only giving you like a sentence or two or a summary in addition sadly there's no push notifications from what I could gather as well from my informational sources now a second thing I noticed here a huge improvement so my fans have shown me over time with their current charge HR the adhesives would fail over time and the band would come apart now you can do a quick Google search and pretty much a good handful of people unfortunately have experienced this this time around we have an all-metal tracker just like the Fitbit Alta and on the sides the bands are removable replaceable and you can of course exchange it whenever they wear out or exchange them out to suit your style a huge bonus right there if you guys watch my Fitbit blaze review Fitbit did introduce GPS but it only worked in conjunction with you carrying your phone it's the same thing here with GPS it's not built-in but considering the pricing is more for the average consumer not so much for running enthusiasts just having the option of having GPS just paired directly with your phone having the GPS information display in real time and the charge HR - and then the data of course automatically being imported to the Fitbit app this does make it stand out from the others on the market again I'll test this in my full review but just having this option again keep in mind this is priced for the average consumer not die hard running enthusiasts I guess the Fitbit surge is geared towards those I think it's good to have these options now the next health item is called cardio fitness and I wish more bands would introduce some kind of tests like this over time Fitbit performs an estimation on your health based on your age gender weight but also your heart rate levels while you run and your running speeds and with all this data Fitbit will give you a cardio score letting you know roughly where you stand so that's pretty good to know I tend to get a base or a measurement for yourself and the last new feature there's guided breathing something I probably need to relieve stress throughout the day with the on-screen display the band will guide you through some breathing techniques or exercises based on your heart rate now some may find this useful some may not even use it all to be honest with you guys but having it there it doesn't hurt to have something offered so that's really it that's really the main point of the new charge HR - for the US it should be coming within a week from this video overseas viewers on my social media who pre-ordered this so far says it's coming in within two or three weeks from today so again check out my links in the video description below again at least for now it's much cheaper for some reason hopefully it's still there and be sure to add me on to Facebook Twitter and/or Instagram have both my personal accounts and Jim's review room you guys take care and I'll see you in the next one bye
