The Fitbit Charge 4 is Fitbit’s latest model to launch. One of the key features of the Charge 4 is the built-in GPS, which tracks your pace and distance, and will provide a map to the app in your phone showing your route and effort. It can also provide 24/7 heart rate tracking, along with tracking personalised activity (Active Zone Minutes) so any workout that boosts your heart rate is tracked (including swimming).
