Fitbit Charge 4 launched with GPS and NFC

Working out has become tough in the current coronavirus pandemic circumstances you are locked down at home and there is nothing more you can do than cook, eat and slip in to the couch and watch your favourite series on the inline streaming sites. The current circumstances have affected the launch of fitness trackers but the Fitbit Charge 4 has managed to get its place. The Charge 4 has become the first Fitbit tracker to have a built-in GPS along with NFC payments through Fitbit Pay. But considering the ongoing circumstances, it can be said that such a feature could be hardly useful for the next many months. Health experts are stressing on contactless payments for purchases to avoid the spread of infection.

But the users can still walk, run, ride a bike (if you have private space). Due to the current situation there are also chances that the policy makers could impose restrictions on outdoor exercise like it has been done in Paris. Fit Bit pay is surely convenient as it eliminates the need for the users to touch any surface. However, that will again depend on the store that you are visiting and if they have the contactless payment facility. Many people are still not able to do it at many places.

But if all the drawbacks of the current COVID-19 situation are kept aside, the Charge 4 is surely a great gadget for a fitness freak. The GPS and NFC feature is now standard for all the Charge 4 devices and it has also got a 7 day battery life. More features of the device include constant heart rate monitoring, an app with built-in community and with so many years of experience, the new device is pretty stylish as well as durable.

The gadget company has also added a few updates i9n terms of its software and also the user interface of the Charge 4.
