7th day review

I did not own any other tracker prior to getting this Charge 3 on release day. Out of the box got a firmware update that took about 30 min to complete. Claims to have a battery life of 7 days and it does, charged today with 7% battery remaining. I don't now how it calculates the steps but they are NOT even estimate to accurate, it calculate them even on my commute of 1 hour to work adding up to 2,000 steps when i am only driving. However i have found very useful the way you can track what you eat and compared with burned calories. Sleep tracking have help me to realize the quality and time i have been sleeping allowing me to make adjustments as needed, sleep tracking time seems to be very accurate so far. The apps creates a great integration with your smart phone by getting notifications and even reading a quick email. On day number 4 it became unresponsive and giving erratic readings for everything, a device reset fixed the issue. On day 5 a new update was available and took about 30 min to complete. Overall i am happy with all you can learn of yourself with this tracker. Recommended if you have a busy life and try to keep track of your health as well. The product still new and hope new updates will come to fix the small issues with the steps.

Purchased this charge 3 to upgrade the charge 2. I'm honestly not to happy. It isn't that bad, they finally updated it with the date on the display, but I feel like I should've stood with the charge 2 longer until the charge 3 was fully ready with all its updates. If you still own a charge 2, stay with it... you are not really missing much. It is waterproof... looks better... the swipe feature isn't that bad, but if you're not a swimmer and take it off during showers.. then the 2 is fine. I would recommend it to anybody who doesn't have the charge 2. It is a good price.

Love wearing this new light weight watch . Has so many features hard to list all. My favorite is notifies you a calling is coming thru, who is calling and that they left message. Let’s you see how long you actually sleep, vibrates to let you know it’s time to get moving. How many steps you took too.
Information also can be downloaded at your doctors and so much more.

I love my new Fitbit Charge 3. It is such an attractive watch, and is low enough profile with its sleek rectangular face, that it is never gets caught on anything or in the way. I love being able to instantly monitor my activity as well as sleep patterns! I also love that it’ll vibrate quick to alert me of incoming texts or calls to my phone, and even gives me a quick view of each text as it comes in.

I paid a little more to get the Special Edition but I am glad I did. I can go for a run and leave my phone and wallet home while still being able to track my run, get current pace time, and more while even being able to stop at the store to pick up anything I need using fitbit pay.
Charge 3 is a major upgrade from Charge 2! Looks great with the added white band which covers the price difference of the regular alone. The display looks crisp and beautiful and its even fully water proof assuming you are not a deep sea diver or something.
Simple, elegant, and does everything you need in a fitness tracker...

Pretty good fitness tracker. Was surprised how accurate the swim and sleep tracker were. It let me know my hours of deep sleep and restlessness a definite plus. The heartbeat sensor was pretty much on point especially helpful during my weightlifting and cardio times. This is a fitness tracker which actually does its job. The only drawbacks I have is I wish it tracked more exercises and I wish I could text back on it lol. Maybe different color bands would help. The battery life is awesome and it is very comfortable to wear. I would definitely recommend to a swimmer, weightlifter and for running. Great Buy.

Use it everyday, very long battery life, fits great, I personally like it more than my the Apple Watch. Less bulky and I can see the time. So I prefer the bit better.

I love this Fitbit, longest battery life of all the Fitbits I have had. The band does not irritate my skin like the previous versions. Features are easier to use than previous versions.

I've had three different Fitbit since 2014. The Charge 3 is my favorite! I love that I can do things, like see my daily totals on my Fitbit and track my exercise, instead of having to open the app on my phone. I also love that I can wear the Charge 3 in the shower if I want to. The battery life is amazing. I can go a full seven days without charging and it doesn't take long to go from almost dead to fully charged!

My Charge 2 broke so I replaced it with the Charge 3 since I cannot afford the Ionic or Blaze. I have to admit, I am loving the Charge 3.
The band feels fantastic since it is breathable. I definately like the fact that this new band does not have the attachment grooves to get filled with gunk, such as sweat etc. I like the double prong as well. It makes the closure feel more secure.
I have not taken this Fitbit swimming yet but, it has been submerged in water when I was doing dishes yesterday and it had no issues as far as I can tell. We shall see how it holds up.
The new set up for how you can view your notifications is great! It is so much easier to read. Being able to view to items at once is pretty cool too!
The old downside to my last Fitbit breaking down even though I had only got it in June is that you can no longer do the accidental damage protection plan on the Fitbit. I think it is kind of stupid since this is the type of item you actually need something like that on but it is not as if the Best Buy Geek Squad management team is going to listen to me.

This Fitbit charge 3 is good for tracking sleep and blood oxygen level and also shows notification, text message, and phone calls. Battery life Good. I bought this watch to track my sleep. On the other hand, it is very very inaccurate at counting steps.

I bought the Charge 3 the day it came out. I really like the size. Before I had the Alta Hr and I really liked it but the size was just a little to small.
I bought the charge 3 with the normal silicone band. The band is nice but it made my wrist sweat a lot so I purchased the berry sports band and it seems to be keeping my wrist a lot cooler.
This Fitbit is exactly what it says it is, a really nice fitness tracker. I really like it so far!

I really love this Fitbit. It took me a while to get use to the bigger size band but now that I am I enjoy it. I love Fitbit cause I’m not looking for a smart watch but something to help me mind my health in. I read a lot of reviews about saying it was hard to read but I can read if perfectly. Only con is when swiping or flipping my wrist it has an animation to active the screen could be smoother

I love this one! I used to have the alta hr and I loved it. However this one is so much functional and the battery last longer (my favorite part)
The screen response time is always kind of annoying but, nothing that affects me.

3 weeks in and my lavender band looks dull. Has another band in box (Black) I switched to. Haven’t tried swimming yet but they said it could be done. Love the UI it’s nice and clear. You can read full texts when they come in than charge 2. Screen size is a bit bigger which is my favorite. Definitely buy if you have an older Fitbit or want to get one; this is it!

I have had this for about 5 months and it does everything i need it to do. Keeps track of my steps, heart rate, and calories burned. The fitbit app is the real winner in getting these products tho. It is so organized and works well. I do have a gripe with the watch tho. After only 5 months the screen has started to glitch. Like it is losing its screen. I will be doing a warranty claim with fitbit here soon. But i would be weary of this fact when choosing this one. Idk if it was jus a bad product or something that happens often.

Charge 3 won’t sync

It has been my first purchase with fitbit and I was very excited. Something happened with this product that has not gone well. I bought it on the day of departure.
But after a week, the alarm stopped working. I asked for help in the forum and it was solved, but after several days, I had the same problem again.
I ask for a change in the store (maybe I'll get a bad one). With a new one, everything was fine, until 2 days ago the synchronization is fatal. The alarm works when you want. I visit the forum and I see many people with the same problem.
The downside is that this is not guaranteed with Best Buy, so I do not trust. I will return it, because I will not have an expensive product with problems. I can not be restart the product every 3 days, a factory reset is not really an acceptable solution to a sync issue. It is very frustrating
Fitbit has lost a new client.

Replaced old Fitbit and this one has several different options for the face, a no vibration during sleep, customizable clock face. Battery last about 3 days depending on the number of text you get
