Fitbit Charge 4 Standard vs Special Edition: What’s The Difference?

The Special edition is priced higher

The difference between the Standard and Special Editions of the Charge 4 is that in addition to the classic elastomer straps that come with both editions, the Special edition also comes with additional woven polyester straps. Secondly, while the Standard edition is available in black, rosewood, storm blue, and black colors, the Special edition is only available in woven granite/black color.
