Anyone have any idea when this is going to be released? I know they did a limit run of them in the US recently. I presume they are going to knock them all out January 1st for the Resolutions people lol

    I have that same thought they have been advertising for awhile and the website just continues to say "Early 2015".

    You can purchase them now. On their facebook page they say they are available at amazon, target, dick's sporting goods, REI and I think one more.

    In Canada Best Buy has them ready to preorder with a ship date of Jan. 23rd.

    The Charge is available now. The Charge HR and the Surge are not released yet

    You have to call around but some stores do have stock of the HR and Surge...at least they did before Christmas. I almost bought one online from REI but was worried about duties/taxes.

    My mom pre-ordered mine for Christmas. As someone mentioned above, they ship from Best Buy on Jan 23rd. I can't wait!

    They had a limited quantity released for the holiday, but they are all sold out. I called today and they said it will be out sometime between now and March.

    No clue if it will work or go through as I am in Canada but was grabbing the link for a friend and shocked to see it said available as it wasn't earlier today!

    Wow, thank you, I ordered one from Best Buy! It said I can pick it up on Jan. 2!!

    Ahh I should've said I'm in England, we just have the website saying "Notify me - £119.99". There is an online store that has them for preorder at the RRP but I'm waiting to see everyone compete for sales.

    I'm curious as to why you can buy them at Best Buy and not on their site... I want to use my 15% off for having a Force.

    It's a marketing partnership—like how you can only get chocolate-covered Lay's potato chips at Target.

    I only buy directly from Fitbit.com. I like to think it makes the customer service process run more smoothly when my tracker breaks & I need a replacement.

    I'm also in England and am eager to find out when it's being released, I can't find a release date. The only thing I can do is to sign up for them to notify me, it says Early 2015 but that's not very specific. If I hear anything I'll be sure to post it for others to read.

    Target in Texas has them but they only get a handful at a time and are out pretty much the day they get them. I got lucky. Called the store when they opened on truck day, had three when I called. When I got there an hour later, I bought the last one. They are going FAST!

    I would love a HR, thinking Ill get the standard charge until the HR is released then ebay/sell my charge on.

    Keep an eye on the various store websites that normally carry Fitbits (Target, Best Buy, REI, Dick's) - I snagged a Charge HR from Best Buy on the 29th, had it shipped to store, and picked it up on the 31st!

    I Purchased the Charge HR on the Best Buy website and it arrived on 1/2 with expedited shipping. I had the FitBit One previously and this seems to be working great! It's been a while since I've worked out with a HR monitor so I'm anxious to track all this thing will do.

    As of January 6, 2015, Charge HR is available directly from https://www.fitbit.com/store in black or plum. There are 3 sizes: small, large & XL. Since I wear a small Flex, I ordered small.

    In the US, black says "Available Soon Ships in 3-5 days," and plum says "Pre-Order Ships in 4-6 weeks." I ordered plum.

    I ordered the black one from the Fitbit website. Says ships in 1 to 2 weeks. I originally ordered the plum. That one said ships in 8 to 10 weeks.

    Does anyone who has pre-ordered know if they charge your card when you place the order or when it ships? I'm sort of considering getting the plum, and I'd like to be prepared for a surprise $150 charge on my debit card down the road if it ships at a different time than expected (or, lets be honest, I forget about it :p ). I'm sort of debating ordering the Charge HR in plum - haven't decided yet, just wondering.

    I preordered the Charge HR today and they charged my card. The website said it ships in 1-2 weeks.

    Got the "shipped" notice last night, but it hasn't been scanned in by USPS yet. But at least it's in a shipping box somewhere.

    Did you order the black one? and how long ago did you place your order? I really want the plum one but am afraid if I place my order, with 8-10 weeks for shipping, that I might find one before that in the store.

    For anyone in Canada, I've been told by Best Buy that the release date here is the 23rd. Does anyone else have information that the confirms or denies this?
