We've seen things like "walk" accurately depicted, but if you want to track a run or yoga session, you're better off starting that as a manual activity, so you can look at your device during the activity to get the feedback as you go. This automatic detection works after a fashion, but won't tell you on the device what it's doing, so we suspect it's only figured out once it syncs to the app. The Charge 4 has a full range of motion trackers, allowing it track those traditional steps, as well as automatically detecting when you're exercising and log that via the app. Especially at this price - as a watch competitor would cost you a whole lot more. So if you're looking for a fitness band that's a fully accomplished device, the Fitbit Charge 4 is hard to beat. But that's short-sighted and really needs to be balanced against the form-factor and what you want from a device. It's too easy to compare the Charge 4 to any of the GPS-capable watches out there and find it come up a little short: a smaller display and shorter battery life does limit what the Charge 4 will do. The compact nature and wide range of lifestyle tracking features makes it an attractive wrist-wearable proposition for anyone looking to increase their activity and monitor their progress, with the new Active Zone Minutes being a lot more useful than step counting. The Fitbit Charge 4 is better geared for activity tracking than its predecessor thanks to GPS tracking, while the addition of Fitbit Pay means more independence for those on the move. So how does the fourth-generation version of this popular Fitbit model hold up? Our quick take
