Review: Despite it's issues, the Fitbit is the best - I've had a number of Fitbits in the past, and they always are the best one for me. The app is amazing, and every other app synches relatively easily with the Fitbit app. It works well, despite a couple of annoying little things that never seem to get fixed. It's worked great, and I'm glad I bought it again. But just in case anyone from the company might be reading reviews (and to give my thoughts to others considering which tracker to buy), I'll list my frustrations: 1) When you tap on the screen, it often doesn't seem to realize it's being tapped. I have always found myself doing a "tap, tap, tap, tap" every time on the screen instead of just tapping it once like you would your cell phone. But once it wakes up, it's responsive after that. It would be nice if this was fixed at some point. 2) Considering that there is so much focus on the number of daily steps these days, and since it is a step TRACKER, I would really love it if you could set an exercise goal based on a number of steps (right now you can set it based on distance, time and calories). Since I tend to walk on an indoor track or on a treadmill, distance isn't something that is reliable to track. So I would rather set a goal to do a certain number of steps instead. 3) This is pretty minor, but since I do have to seem to tap multiple times to get the screen to wake up, once it does wake up I often find that I've changed the standard display that I had picked (steps walked) to one of the other options (heartbeat, # of stairs climbed, etc.). 4) The other thing that has never worked well for me is the sleep tracking. I'm one of those folks who wakes up a couple of times at night to use the bathroom, and if that happens when it's almost morning, then the app records it as having woken up for the day. So I end up not actually knowing how long I'm sleeping each night because the app doesn't realize that even thought I got up, I went back to bed where I hardly moved at all. It seems like there ought to be a way for the app to recognize that if you got up and then remained essentially motionless for a couple of hours that you haven't actually gotten up yet. I imagine the other trackers might have this issue too, but all of that great reporting on REM, light sleep, etc. are lost on my because the app can't even recognize how long I'm sleeping. I know it sounds like I shouldn't be buying this since I have issues with it, but it works well enough, and I love the app, and love that my other apps all partner with Fitbit and make it relatively painless to set up synching with my Fitbit. But it would be great if they could address some of these issues!
Review: One of the absolute best purchases I have made. - One of the absolute best purchases I have made. My primary reason for buying the Charge 3 was for the heart rate tracker. I am a very active person - primarily weightlifting, but as I hit my 30s, I realized I needed to increase my cardiovascular capacity. My career demands a high level of athleticism, and I turned to FitBit to help me track my progress. Other reasons for purchasing included the vibrating alarm clock, as sometimes my job requires early wake-ups, and I prefer not to wake my wife in those cases. I was skeptical about the accuracy of the heart rate monitor after reading some reviews here, but let me tell you: it’s phenomenal! Extremely accurate, even during intense exercise. My training regimen includes HIIT / sprintwork almost daily, and my heart rate regularly reaches 175-180 during these sessions. My Charge 3 has been completely accurate even at these high levels. I periodically check my heart rate via other methods (fingers on neck, and cardio machine sensors) just to verify, and my Charge 3 is always accurate within about 4 bpm. I also didn’t realize how cool the rest of the features would be - especially charting my resting heart rate (nice to see it’s about 56) and tracking my sleep. The sleep analysis section of the FitBit app is actually very insightful, so I’d always recommend wearing your Charge 3 to bed. That brings me to another point: battery life. No complaints here. I’d probably get close to 7 days on a full charge, but my strategy is to charge it twice a week, during the day, while I’m at the office. That way, I don’t miss any significant physical events (including sleep), and I only have to charge from about 50% to 100%. The vibrating alarms are great; you can set up to 8 of them through the app, and there are 2 levels of intensity. I do like that you can set it to vibrate when you get phone calls, texts, and emails also. Very helpful when you’re busy throughout the day but also expecting an important call or email. There are some features that I don’t use much, but which you may like, so it never hurts to read other reviews. Stylistically, this thing is beautiful. Sleek, elegant, professional. Very easy to change out the bands. I bought a traditional men’s silver watch band made for the Charge 3, and it creates a very appealing look. Also inexpensive! The Charge 3 is a fantastic investment. I lucked out and snagged it during a sale, but it’s worth the price either way.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anybody knows if the bands from the fitbit charge 2 can be used on this one?**
A: I have a 3 and my wife has a 2.  She needed a new band and I had an extra band for my 3.  I installed my 3 band on her 2 without any issues.  Works well.

**Q: Does the Charge 3 have a countdown timer in addition to the Stopwatch feature?**
A: Yes, the Charge 3 has both a countdown and a stopwatch feature

**Q: should these be turned off when driving in a car? I made a 24 mile trip in my car and it showed i walked 1 mile and burnt 2000 calories and 10 stairs**
A: When I cut grass wearing my Fitbit registers at least 30 percent more steps because the handle of the lawn mower vibrates. It's more accurate when I put the watch in my pocket. Doing this when you drive won't solve the problem with climbing stairs but I noticed that my heart rate is higher when I'm driving. The basal metabolic rate calculated from your age, weight, height, and gender make up half of this calculation. Your heart rate and steps taken are used to calculate the other half of this number so putting your Fitbit in your pocket will help to lower your calorie burn.

**Q: Does the Charge 3 have the time & date?**
A: There are two clock face options that show the time and date.  One is an analog clock face with date and heart rate; the other is a digital clock face with date and steps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Xiaomi owners please read
*by D***E on May 28, 2020*

I've tried many trackers and just couldn't find one to do everything that I wanted but I felt the Alexa on versa 2 was a trivial want. So I went with something that had the main bulk of what I needed which included SPO2 which fit bit measures (only variable not relative meaning it won't give you a specific percentage throughout your sleeping phases but can give you trends on how your oxygenation level fluctuates) -this I wish it did give you more of percentage based data like the Garmin vivoactive 3 and isn't as accurate as the Garmin or say sleep tunner devices . And a huge disclaimer if you have a Xiaomi product it will not work with this device in regards to SMS viewing and quick reply. Xiaomi although is android operates on an copy version of an iOS system and reviewing Fitbit compatibility guideline iOS isn't supported for this system or tested. Make sure you check the list of tested phones to fully gain from this experience. The next thing that was important was the sleep tracking overall I think the sleep tracking is fairly in depth with alot of useful information and is very good at deciphering my times of sleep. You can tap over certain times to see when exactly you were in each phase and gives you a score and tips on how to improve. With that being said my next like would be the actual platform. It's packed with alot of useful data and information of all your daily activities including sleep, female mentation/ovulation tracking and even diet tracking. So it's like a female health and fitness Pal app all in one platform . The one thing I don't like is for certain features you have to pay a premium unlike Garmin. See their new features on their website to see if the premium is right for you. You can also test it out for free for 3 months.I would say the accuracy of the heart rate is relatively close when tested with ECG and the steps are "suspect" It uses a 3 axis accelerometer but I feel the algorithm is maybe not as accurate. I could be wrong but one night within an hour all I did was walk to the bathroom and the kitchen. I highly doubt I had more than 200 steps during this time like it told me I did. Calories burned was another big one for me since I like to track my ins and outs. Alittle more confident in this reading due to the accuracy of heart rate and since it's based of your BMR( basal metabolic rate) and heart rate/circulation and breathing. Another big thing for me is contactless pay I try to limit if I can bringing my wallet with me and especially with this current pandemic (don't care for opinions on that) it's good to have something like this to limit your contact plus it's more convenient. You are required to put in a code every 24 hours which to some may be annoying however I believe they did this to insure better protection and privacy. I mean it does have access to your bank account? Wouldn't you feel safer knowing if you lost your watch they would not be able to get in if there is a lock code. It's only available at stores and retailers that offer the NFC emblem or Google pay on their payment devices which in the US is present in many major Chain stores. Places like Canada or other non us states will have more of a difficult time being able to use this feature as it also is only compatible with certain banks. Refer to their website for compatible banks. It's water proof up to 50 meters this is important if you like swimming as an excercise or will use it as such like me. I've tested it under water and dried it off afterwards and the device still worked perfectly afterwards. This is not an always on display and reacts to lifting your wrist upward but I did find that you can turn it on by double tapping. Last things I wanted was tracking for my runs. Now if your like me and have your phone on you at all times for emergencie purposes and music this is great for you. If you need GPS built in however I recommend the charge 4 this one needs to mirror your phone's GPS in order to give you data about your run such as miles and a schematic of your run. It does have auto excercise recognition. It does not have a feature to control music on your phone I wish it did however you can make a playlist specific to your workout so you don't have to worry about that honestly. If you want something that can control music you'd need a premium Spotify account because this feature only works with controlling Spotify on the charge 4, versa 2 and Ionic. If you want something that can physically hold music the versa 2 or ionic can hold up to 300 or 500 songs I believe you need to verify. It doesn't give you heart rate zones but you can get a rough chart on this under your excercises and as long as you know your heart zones it isn't needed in my opinion. Zones include fat burn, cardio and peak. This also includes a timer stop watch and tracks your daily water consumption. Overall I like this fitness tracker. It gives me the information I need and is more comfortable to wear 24/7. Comfortability is huge for me seeing as you have to sleep with it to get sleep information. Battery life is pretty close to spot on on their claims of 7 days. I use it every day I go for runs and track them and sleep with it every night and I'd say by day 4-5 it's at around 60%. My main concern is that there are some claims and reviews that after a few months that some of these devices have been having hardware issues and the screen goes dim, or black and stops working all together. I will come back with a recap after 3 months. It's a gamble getting any kind of technology and there will always be bound to be defective products. I will say the Fitbit resolution center for hardware issues is very slow. That's a negative. If you want something that works well and is very cheap. Look into the mi band 4. If this may concern you and you don't want to be out of pocket alot of money.That concludes my review.
