The FitBit Charge 2 was released in September 2016 and has been significantly improved since the release of its predecessor. The width of the FitBit Charge 2 has been increased and includes a much larger screen so more information can be seen at one time. It has been highly reviewed for its long battery life and the reminders to get up and move after a period of inactivity. There are added features such as the ability to make calls and send SMS text messages, but it still lacks some features seen in some of the best fits bands available.
