Fitbit Charge 3 Advanced Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate, Swim Tracking & 7 Day Battery - Graphite/Black, One Size

I'm only on day two of owning the charge 3, but so far, incredibly satisfied with it. The design and hardware are what really sets it apart from the charge 2. The two best aspects: the fit (it sits more like a watch and is way less bulky than the charge 2) and the touchscreen (much smoother and no need for aggressive tapping to switch screens). It also shows more data, there are more exercise options, and the notification capabilities have been greatly updated (you can choose which apps you want notifications from - text, email, snapchat, etc.). I haven't tested the waterproof side yet, but I don't expect any issues. There seem to be lots of complaints about the software (SPO2, quick replies, etc.). But it was made clear that these capabilities would be coming AFTER release. So no, they are not yet active on the device, but should be enabled in the near future. There is a relatively large update when first starting the device, but patience paid off. For a brief time after setup, the charge 3 wouldn't sync back to my Galaxy S7, but an app force stop and restarting of bluetooth fixed the problem (as per the fitbit website). Now there seems to be no issues with background syncing whatsoever. Overall, a great device. Don't expect a revolutionary change from the charge 2, but it has definitely been refined and improved. For the modest price difference I wouldn't hesitate for a second suggesting the charge 3. The other good news? It will only get better as the software updates roll out and new features are enabled. P.S. There are 5 clock faces with plenty of variety, so complaints about that are just unfounded. EDIT: Over a month in and just as satisfied as day two. Waterproof feature works excellently (I can't vouch for laps swam, but it has survived many showers), several new clocks faces have been added (which include the date), and quick replies were just released for android. Quick replies can be customized across apps, can include emojis, and so far seem to work quite well; it's not smart watch level but very impressive for a fitness tracker. There have also been some reviews about the screen damaging easily - I have had zero issues, even with some incidental bumps and scratches. I stand by a strong recommendation!

I previously owned a Fitbit Charge 1. I liked it, but in less than a year it bobbled plastic and the Fitbit became detached from the strap. I had to superglue it together, eventually, the display stopped working even though it was still tracking, so I had to contact Fitbit to replace it. They did this FOC. I bought a cover for it to hopefully stop the issues with the first one, and while it lasted longer, withing another 2 years the same thing happened, then the case broke around the charging point so I had to throw it away. I now have a Fitbit 3 HR. This is much more stylish than the original. It is more comfortable and the features are better. It feels like a better piece of equipment. I was wary as I heard that there are sometimes sync issues. As soon as I plugged it in to charge it asked me to update the software and it synced beautifully with my iPad and android phone. I've only owned it for just under a week but the battery is still showing 48%, so charge retention seems much better. It seems to be fairly accurate when comparing it to my 2 previous Fitbits, although I know these things have limitations. Thus far I am very happy and don't hesitate to recommend it. Fitbit has really helped me with my fitness tracking.

I was a bit concerned after reading all the negative reviews about "sync" issues and "erratic" Bluetooth connectivity. Maybe it was a firmware issue that caused problems for the rest. I must say that I got mine 2 days ago and from setup to usage, it works absolutely fine. Actually it works the same way my old Fitbit Charge 2 used to. Pros: The notifications are better than the charge 2. The screen is larger than the charge 2. The touchscreen is so much more responsive than the charge 2. The vibration is stronger than the charge 2. The new wrist band is a lot better than the charge 2. Easy to remove and install. Much comfortable too. Battery life is a lot better too. Still showing nearly full battery after a day of use. Should last a week as it says but still need to see. It can be used for swimming +++. The charge 2 couldn't. Cons: None that I found. It's an entry level Fitbit that works better than previous versions. Should you upgrade? Yes, in my opinion but the charge 2 is still quite capable. Reading someone's review which complained about the charge 2 USB adapter not compatible with charge 3. Why should it be and you're getting a USB cable adapter in the box with the new one so why moan? Someone also said it doesn't track exercises like cycling for instance. The charge 2 didn't either. Think about it, you're sitting with your hands holding the handles 80% of the time in a spin class. It's an "activity" tracker, not a mind reader. It's always better to start an activity manually so that it's tracked properly. I used to let the charge 2 automatically track my elliptical exercise and it used to work fine, even though it wouldn't properly record the time I started the activity(could be up to 5 mins of difference) but your heart rate tells the story and calorie burns would still be tracked. Still need to test the charge 3 in this scenario but as I said, it's not a mind reader so manually start and stop your activities for better tracking. It's quite easy for people to say that a product is rubbish without thinking about the time and effort that goes into developing it given that it's from a technology company with skillful engineers. Critisicm is something else but people should appreciate good technology.

Love the colour and the quality. I spent the day in the pool yesterday with my nieces and nephews and it truly is waterproof! Motivates me to keep going when I’m getting lazy :)

I like the information that I can get from this tracker. The steps taken per day is quite accurate but the watch can be misconstrued sometimes when I'm riding on a tractor or on my horse because those are odd movements. This is a good reminder that I need to take more steps or a gentle pat on the back if I've conquered my step goal before the end of the day. I appreciate the sleep tracking and that motivates me to get better sleep.

Cumple mucho más allá que cualquier reloj deportivo inteligente. Es absolutamente genial por el precio que tiene. Su función del sueño, de detectar actividades deportivas automáticamente, etc es la leche. A los 3-4 años me dejó de funcionar la pantalla, pero el aparato se seguía conectando al móvil y transmitía toda la activiadad. Un gran soldado.

Habe das Charge 3 jetzt grob 2 Monate und bin echt happy damit! Die Erinnerungen und Glückwunsch- Nachrichten und Abzeichen motivieren mich immer nochmal zusätzlich! Bedienung des Fitbits an sich und auch der app sind sehr intuitiv und ohne großartige a Anleitung gut bedienbar! Distanzen/ Schritte Werden zuverlässig gemessen; das habe ich an meiner joggingstrecke getestet, bei der ich genau weiß, wie lang sie ist und genau das wurde mir auch als Ergebnis angezeigt. Auch bei der Akkulaufzeit kann ich nicht meckern, ich komme mit einer Ladung knapp eine Woche aus; je nach Intensität der Nutzung versteht sich( wenn ich öfter den Timer & damit die Anzeige benutzte,hält er etwas kürzer, aber da sieht ja auch nur normal). Einziges Manko ist für mich das mitgelieferte Sportarmband. Die Haut dann darunter nur sehr schlecht atmen, schwitzt und wird mit der Zeit trocken und sehr gerötet. Ich habe mir jetzt ein Wechsel Armband aus Leder bestellt und trage das Sport Armband nur noch zum tatsächlichen Sport, das klappt jetzt absolut einwandfrei👍🏼 Kurzfassung: ich bin absolut zufrieden mit meinem charge 3, rate jedoch dazu, ein wechselarmband gleich mitzukaufen!
