I had 2 charge 4 fail when just over 1 year (out warrantee). A search shows that they are designed to fail at a bit over 1 year. 1st one: display went blank. The 2nd one: accelerometer fail (would not respond to motion). Also have also endured band failure. NO, I am not a jackhammer operator.

The plastic pegs that hold the band onto the Charge 4 keep breaking – twice in a few months. This leaves my tracker useless since I cannot hold a band onto it. I think this defect is worth mentioning since a lot of people are complaining about it on Fitbit forums. I’m thinking it effects me a lot because my wrists are small and the band is pulled around tighter to fit me correctly, which puts extra stress on the pegs.

Yes, it has Connected GPS as an option. https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2020/07/08/fitbit-charge-4-dynamic-gps/

Does the Charge 4 have the option to turn GPS off (to conserve battery) and use your phone GPS – as long as you have it with you?

In reply to AM. Yes, stress tracking is coming to other devices but not available yet. Well done on spotting the errors. Inspire 2 is also missing the temperature sensor of Luxe in addition to SpO2.

Few errors, here:

Stress tracking features found on the Luxe has been confirmed by Fitbit to come across to their other smartwatches and trackers (inc. Charge 4 and Inspire 2) via a firmware update.

The Inspire 2 does measure HRV, Respiration rate and Active Zone Minutes.

Aside from the beautiful design and inclusion of the Spo2 sensor on the Luxe, the Inspire 2 can be found for almost $100 cheaper and with double the battery life and very similar fitness features.
