Charge 3 Fitness Activity Tracker

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!

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.

Der Akku geht nach einem halben Jahr so schnell leer, dass man die Uhr 2-3 mal am Tag aufgeladen muss. Leider gibt es keinen Produktsupport und anscheinend auch keine Möglichkeit den Hersteller zu kontaktieren.

this is a great product. it arrived suprisingly quick for the covid-19 freight.

First off, I received the product in just a week which was amazing considering that it ships from so far! So thanks a lot for the quick delivery! Next, the device itself is amazing. Given that I just got it, it is just awesome. It is so light on the hand you dont even feel like you are wearing it plus its very comfy. I just hope it can last a long time and give as little problems as possible XD

Me encantó! Desde el día que me llegó no me lo he quitado. La alarma para moverte me gusta mucho, me recuerda que tengo que estar activa. El registro y análisis de sueño también me gusta para darme cuenta si estoy recuperando o no. Y la razón por la que lo compre que fue para tener registro del ejercicio y calorías está genial, cumple perfecto su función.
