Looks like the original HR's are being phased out and are sold out in most places now :disappointed:

Now 79.99 and barely any stock

Grrrr my daughter wants the Fitbit Alta for Christmas - if I got this, wonder if she'd notice the difference...

Prefer the new strap also

I've ordered the Charge 2 on the Vodafone 3for2. Look forward to it arriving. Still heat though.:smiley:

You must be new to HUKD :wink:

​Pretty sure it says to not wear it in the shower? Mines never gone bear the shower except maybe once where I realise almost straight away that I've not taken it off lol

Got mine for £49.99 in 2015 black friday sales. Having worn mine for a year, and being on my 2nd replacement, I'd strongly recommend you get the HR 2. Google "fitbit charge hr band bubble". Air seems to get into the band bubbles under the material, hence my replacements, even with care and cleaning.

Sorry OP but voted cold as I have a Pebble that this shower have just made worthless and warranty free. Fitbit are c****.

I went through 4 of these within a year! great customer service by fitbit replacing each knee for free but they obviously know of the problems & would only cover a year so I ended up getting a full refund from Amazon.
never wore mine in water, shower or tightly & every single one the metal bubbled & cracked & the rubber peeled off.

I have now had an xiaomi mi band 2 for 4 months & its fantastic! seems even more accurate than the fitbit, battery lasts an astounding 7 weeks & all for £20! plus you can replace the outer bands for 99p

lol made in China xiaomi band 2 you don't need to take them off before shower. I also used my made in China mi band 2 in swimming pool (2metres depth) and still works fine no clouding nor fade...

Carolyn Lol, Never wear in the pool, not even once...I'm on my third Fitbit. :smile:

I'm on my 3rd Fitbit in just over a year.

Tips - take it off before getter no in the shower. This reduces bubbling on strap and potential rash on wrist.

NEVER wear it in the pool, not even once! Or the display will cloud over and fade.

Wear it slightly looser to count steps more accurately and reduces risk of rash.

Buy a cheap sleeve to cover the strap near to the display.

Snap it up at this price! Unless you go for the charge hr 2 which looks good.

I bought mine last year around this time (£49 at Argos if I remember correctly) and it's been awesome since then. No problems at all. I'm hoping it drops more as I'd like to get one for my daughter.

daisyb212 if you don't mind made in China stuff you should try xiaomi mi band 2

still waiting for a good deal with surge.
just seems better with the built in gps so don't have to take phone out

Wow fab price. Thanks. now going to hint to the other half as I'd love this for xmas! this price seems far more reasonable to others I've seen.
