Fitbit fitness trackers are very popular among exercise and sports enthusiasts. Although Fitbit is in the process of finalizing the deal regarding the acquisition of Pebble, that doesn’t mean the company doesn’t have time to freshen up their line of Charge 2 fitness trackers with new features. The added functionality comes through a new software update released on Wednesday.
The Fitbit Charge 2 is the company’s flagship fitness tracker. When it was released back in September, it didn’t make much of splash on a market already overcrowded with smartwatches and other wearable devices. However, thanks to a new software update, Fitbit Charge 2 owners will receive a few new features, some of which have long been requested by users.
One of the most notable and long-requested features for Fitbit’s fitness trackers is the ability to pause and resume workouts. You can’t and you shouldn’t continuously exercise without a proper short-break. Until now, users had no way to pause their workouts, which seems like a simple function but one that took Fitbit quite some time to implement. The feature will allow you to track only the time when you are actively exercising.
Another new feature is the heart rate zone visualization which will show your exact heart rate zone during a multisport activity. This allows users to know exactly what they need to do get into the next zone.
Among the most overdue features which only now has been implemented is the battery indicator. Before the software update, users could only see the exact battery life of their Fitbit Charge fitness tracker through their smartphone app. Now, the device itself will include a battery indicator.
If you weren’t always able to synchronize your training with your pattern of breathing, then the new Fitbit Charge 2 feature can help you out. The device will produce a light buzzing sound when you need to inhale and exhale. This will allow users to focus more on the exercise. This feature is also complemented by a new do not disturb mode which will block all notifications.
Finally, the Fitbit Charge 2 will now display the time in hours, minutes, and seconds all the time, so you will have precise data regarding your training regiment.
