Fitbit remains the leader in fitness wearables despite stiff competition and the Charge HR is one of the best fitness wearables out there.  Fitbit works especially well with Apple products like the iPhone 6s.

Setting up the Fitbit Charge HR on the iPhone 6s is easy.  First go to the Apple App Store and download the Fitbit App.

  

Once you Open the Fitbit App, Join Fitbit to create a new Fitbit account or log in with an existing one.  

 

As soon as you log in you can see your Fitbit account's fitness stats.  Select whether or not you want Fitbit to send notifications.  To add the Charge HR, select Account on the bottom of the App, and then select Set Up a Device.

 

When asked to select the Fitbit tracker you are setting up, select the Charge HR.  Next select Set Up Your Charge HR and accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy by selecting Next Step.

  

The Fitbit App will then show you the accessories which come with the Fitbit Charge HR- select Next Step.  The App will then automatically search for the Charge HR and ask you to input the code that you see on the Fitbit.

  

The Fitbit App will then go through a series of helpful animated instructions for how best to use your Charge HR.

  

Click Next Step to go through each of these instruction screens.

  

One thing that might happen during the 'You're all set' screen is that it will get stuck there for a long time.

If you select 'Learn About Charge HR', you'll get brought to a series of helpful screens showing you how to use your Charge HR.

  

 

  

The only way to get out of the 'Learn About Charge HR' is to cycle through the Fitbit Charge HR menu after which you should see the 'Your're all set!' screen.

After selecting Done, you'll get brought back to the Account screen.  If you select the Charge HR, you can modify more settings.

 

If you select Dashboard, you'll get brought back to a summary of your fitness stats.  Unlike Garmin whose Fitness stats screens are quite busy, Fitbit focuses on simplicty in presenting the data so you don't have to spend a lot of time hunting around trying to get your information.

  

The Fitbit Charge HR sync's well with the iPhone 6s and is a great fitness focused peripheral that is very complementary to your iPhone.
