Overrated in my opinion
Bought the Charge 2 thinking it would revolutionise the way I see my fitness on a daily basis. However I am firstly hugely disappointed by the fact that it is not waterproof, I knew this before buying it, but only after did I realise how frustrating this is (I enjoy swimming + winter climbing and had to make part with my watch for both occasions). Secondly, and this is what made me return it, is the fact the Charge 2 is not a smart watch at all, it uses predefined measurements to guess your steps/distance covered. I recently did a 15k hillwalk only to get told I walked 25k. The other annoying thing is that at night, if you want to stop your watch from turning on when you move, you have to log into the app, change the settings, sync the watch and then go back to bed. Wish the watch had a simple night setting inbuilt. Lastly, the gps is pretty useless as it’s just relying on your phone and therefore your battery drains a lot faster. All in all, I’m sure this watch will suit some people but it didn’t cut the mark for me - and a long way away from being a smart watch. Btw on eBay you can find very similar watches for about £15. Bet those are just as good.
FYI I returned the watch as it didn’t suit my needs.
