Fitbit Charge 2 will be available in late September and Flex 2 will be available in October:<\/p>\n \u201cOver the past nine years it has been our ability to innovate on both design and utility, and our deep understanding of what consumers want, that has made us the leading global wearable company[1],\u201d said James Park, co-founder and CEO of Fitbit. \u201cFlex quickly became the best-selling tracker[2]\u00a0on the market as one of the first wearables to successfully merge fitness and fashion; we\u2019ve revolutionised Flex 2 by making it swim-proof and adding more features in a design that is\u00a030% smaller\u00a0<\/em>than the original. We broke new ground with Charge HR by making wrist-based heart rate accessible to millions of users around the world, and we\u2019ve done it again with Charge 2, giving users a snapshot of their cardio fitness based on estimated VO2 Max.\u201d<\/p>\n Make Every Beat Count with Charge 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Fitbit, the world\u2019s leading wearables company1, has reimagined Fitbit Charge HR\u2122, its most popular fitness wristband that was the first to bring continuous, automatic heart rate to your wrist.

I not only have continuous visibility into my heart rate which gives me real insight into my overall health including workouts – but Fitbit built on that even further with access to my cardio fitness level. This new feature provides an estimate of my VO2 Max, which is something I only had access to in a lab during my pro days. But its Charge 2\u2019s guided breathing sessions that really resonates with me as one of the most important things I do to improve my health and manage stress.\u201d<\/p>\n Anywhere You Go, Track Your Day in Style with Flex 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Fitbit has enhanced its iconic and industry-defining tracker, Fitbit Flex\u00ae, into an ultra-slim, swim-proof fitness wristband that can transform to fit your personal style with a variety of stylish new accessories.
