Description
The Fitbit Charge 4 Special Edition is the newest of the Charge models. The “Special Edition” is really about the style of the Fitbit 4 as some call it. It comes with a reflective woven material wrist band.
That is really the only difference between the Fitbit Charge 4 Special Edition and the Fitbit Charge 4 Classic Edition, but it is worth it.
When you start wearing these activity trackers every day, you need multiple bands. For one it is nice to have different styles and colors depending on your outfit or occasion.
But more importantly, having a backup in case your Fitbit band breaks. And yes, they do break. But you can replace these with off-brand bands for as low as $8 at times.
Sleep Tracker
The best part about having a Fitbit Charge regardless of the version is that it is an awesome sleep tracker and the battery lasts up to 7 days officially. If you get a higher model Fitbit or even an Apple Watch, you use it all the time for your phone so it drains the battery.
With smartwatch-style sleep trackers, you will constantly miss days of tracking because you will need to charge your device at night and you will often forget to put it back on.
With the Fitbit Charge, you can go over a week sometimes without charging. And once you get used to seeing when you are falling asleep, waking up, and tracking the quality of your sleep, it is hard to go back to your old life.
The Fitbit Charge will tell you exactly how many hours and minutes you spent in each stage of sleep: Awake, REM, Light, and Deep.
The most detailed reports are on your smartphone via the Fitbit app and it is very useful. You even get a sleep score to compare your sleep on different days. The sleep score is more than just how many hours you sleep.
It also calculates the time you spent awake, percentages of deep & REM sleep, and even your sleeping heart rate & restlessness throughout the night.
Some of the cheaper Fitbit models also have a basic version of the sleep tracker, but they do not track your sleep stages and that is the best part!
