I am thinking of upgrading from the Flex to the Charge HR. Is it worth it?

    I upgraded from Flex to Charge HR, and then downgraded to Charge. The main reason is that in my case the battery lasts over a week on the Charge but only a couple to three days on the Charge HR. I have been super happy with my Charge.

    Just made the switch yesterday. So far I like it. Nice to be able to see a readout for a change!

    I made the change two days ago. I got the flex on day one. LOVED it. I tried the Surge, briefly, but it was too big. I love the charge HR. I predict that I'll turn the HR off except for workouts very soon, but want to play around with it for a while first.

    I don't mind the HR being on, since that was the whole reason I upgraded. I just plug in for a quick charge while I start the stove and make breakfast, and then I am good to go.

    I went from the one to the charge HR and I love it. I also looked at the surge, but way too big. I like the charge HR for a lot of reasons. Obviously the heart rate monitor, the convienence of looking at my wrist to get the time and then tapping to get the stats, and the sleep monitoring. I had the one for almost 2 years before getting the Charge HR. I like the incoming call notification. Can't get the text notification though for some reason. Also as much as I liked the one, I was always losing it! Never permanently, but spent a lot of time looking for it due to its size and forgetting it in pockets.
