Fitbit Charge 2 HR

Looking for opinions on Fitbit Charge 2 HR.

My wife wants something with HR (thyroid issues) and something to motivate her.

She's not a runner (yet) but walk a lot so tracking activity is required.

I've been looking around at various options and this looks favourite.

I've got the (old) Charge HR and I love it.  If she's into stats and numbers and graphs and stuff, it's great (assuming she has a smartphone). 

It's all great, but the little added extras like the silent alarm (great when you have kids that migrate into your bed, but you want to get up and get organised in the morning before they are up) and the phone call alert (so I know my phone is ringing when I'm in a noisy shop and it's in the bottom of my handbag, or it's sitting on my desk and I'm in the next office) make me smile.

The app is good too - you can add challenges and link them to friends, or just do them yourself for the "badges".

The only thing I completely ignore is the flights of stairs counter - I can have climbed 30 flights without leaving my house (a bungalow) if the air pressure changes.  But that's a small price to pay.

The new one looks good, but I'll probably wait until this one dies before I upgrade.
