The Charge HR:
Although the Charge HR has pretty similar features as the Charge, it provides somewhat more accurate readings such as heartbeat rates at peak and resting time. This tracker will be available in the US from 2015, and users can avail it for a little less than $150. It will only be available in black and plum, but the color tangerine will be added soon. Here’s a video of Charge HR.
The Surge:
This last one is the most expensive of all three trackers, and has the most diverse features. It will have all the features that the Charge and Charge HR have, and additionally, it will have an inbuilt GPS system to count and store data like your pace, distance, route history, elevation and more. The manufacturers have claimed it be more of a smartwatch than an actual tracker since it can track multi-sport activity, and you can also change music right from your wrist, see incoming calls and receive messages on this one. It’s battery life expectancy is also seven days, and you can avail this for $250 in the beginning of 2015. See the video of The Surge below.
