To ask if a fitbit comes with a charger?

Surely it does. But then why can I buy one separately? But the flipping thing is so expensive that it must come with a charger? I'm so confused Envy (not envy) please tell me - to buy a separate charger or not!!

Each one I have bought has come with a USB charging wire. No plug though

HeathRobinson · 08/12/2018 16:53

Mine came with a usb charging cable. Charge HR.

TheNumberfaker · 08/12/2018 16:53

My Fitbit Alta came with a charger. Perhaps some people lose or break the original one.

guineapig1 · 08/12/2018 16:54

Yes, mine camd with an usb charger. You can buy replacements chargers for people like me who have a tendency to leave them in hotel rooms etc

Oooooft · 08/12/2018 16:54

Pretty sure they all come with a charger. I just bought a new one and it did. Just the charger lead though - no plug but I just plug into any USB port.

OK thanks all. That makes sense. So most people pop it into a USB charger from a different gadget and people who don't want to do that/lose theirs buy another Xmas Grin thanks

The Fitbit charge 2 (and probably the others) has a kind of claw shaped end that grips around the screen. It’s not a standard micro USB to USB charger.

Dunno if that’s relevant or helpful.

Fitbit chargers can break easily.

I wouldn't recommend plugging the usb into a sock plug adaptor though, it can fry your Fitbit.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/12/2018 17:22

You can buy the charger cable and 'claw' fitting really easily, from about a fiver!

I just googled "fitbit charging cable"

Breakfastofmilk · 08/12/2018 17:23

Yep they come with a special cable (but no wall plug). I bought an extra one so I can keep one at work and one at home as sometimes it's more convenient to charge it at work.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/12/2018 17:24

Correction: You can buy ALL of the fitbit charging cables quite easily. Decent looking ones from about a fiver!

Fluffyears · 08/12/2018 17:42

Yep you get. USB charger I plug it in using the plug I use for my kindle charger.

ShowOfHands · 08/12/2018 18:02

Mine came with a charger.

However, if Envy doesn't mean envy, what did you mean in your op? [curious] I've seen it to mean [nauseated] but not sure that's what you're getting at...

ParisNext · 08/12/2018 18:12

You can just plug it into a laptop, desktop/Mac or even the USB port on the back of a tv or in your car?

BonBonVoyage · 08/12/2018 18:13

I used Envy to mean "ugh what is going on and why can I not figure this out". It may not be the common usage though!

Of course it comes with one but people lose them or want spares. I keep one at home and one in the office!

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 08/12/2018 18:15

USB charger wire, wires are also sold in case it breaks, just like any part really

Canibuildasnowman · 08/12/2018 18:15

You can charge it on a laptop or via a USB port, in car or wherever, or with a plug. I plug mine into the Iphone plug thing
