The Fitbit Charge 4 looks almost identical to its predecessor, including the grayscale touchscreen, but the addition of built-in GPS makes a huge difference, and helps make it a viable alternative to fully-fledged running watches if you enjoy working out for fun and health, but don't need a torrent of data on splits, cadence and elevation.

The Fitbit Charge 4 boasts some great features, especially personalised Active Zone Minutes – a motivational fitness metric to aim for. It’s our new favourite all-round Fitbit tracker, bests the Versa 2 smartwatch with its built-in GPS, and even matches the Versa 3 in many ways.

La Charge 4 cuenta con grandes novedades a pesar de que mantiene el mismo diseño que su predecesora. Además del GPS integrado y de permitir los pagos móviles contactless por NFC, su gran novedad es ‘Minutos en zona activa’ como métrica de motivación extra durante tu ejercicio. Sin llegar a tener el diseño estilista del smartwatch Versa 2 con su pantalla a color y uso de apps, llega a ofrecer funcionalidad similar con GPS sin notar que la llevas puesta.
