Customers are mixed about the performance of the wearable computer. Some mention that it works well enough, while others say that it doesn't fulfill the primary purpose they bought it for.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the wearable computer. Some mention that it's a quality product at a reasonable price, with rock solid hardware. However, others say that the product clearly has issues and was rushed to market. Some say that it completely broke down after 3-4 weeks.

"...All said, I find the Fitbit Charge 3 to be an overpriced, mediocre smart watch with watch functionality lagging behind that of cheaper competitors...." Read more

2,712 customers mention1,799 positive913 negative

Customers are mixed about the heart rate tracking of the wearable computer. Some mention that it tracks all day without missing a reading, it is able to track your sleep pattern, and it tracks your activities just fine. However, others say that there is no heart rate monitoring when you're in the pool or shower, it doesn't give you heart rate zones, and that it randomly decides not to record their sleep record.

"...We also have the step counting feature, which is similarly enlightening and empowering: I’m a big walker and it is revelatory to see how many steps..." Read more

"...The heart rate is accurate. The heart rate tracks all day without missing a reading. The battery is better than my Alta and lasts 5 days for me...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the wearable computer. Some mention that it has a great battery life, while others say that it would not hold a charge and would eat their phone's battery before mid-day.

"...The battery is better than my Alta and lasts 5 days for me...." Read more

"...The Versa 2 has the worst battery life, which is further reduced if the display is set to always-on, earning it the lowest score...." Read more

"...I provided a picture to demonstrate this is false. The battery is longer on the Charge 3 and has lasted up to 7 days, although I typically charge..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of setup of the wearable computer. Some mention that the app is very user friendly and convenient, while others say that nothing is straightforward.

"...It is a small commitment, no equipment needed, as convenient as you can get, and a lot of variety...." Read more

"...It's so easy to get busy that this is simply a great reminder!..." Read more

"...phones (even the ones Fitbit has on their approved list) can be extremely frustrating as you might have to manually try and sync dozens of times,..." Read more

"...points of view: same functions done better, slicker design and better interface, plus the touch screen - this makes navigation a lot easier...." Read more

1,110 customers mention540 positive570 negative

Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the wearable computer. Some mention that it seems pretty accurate, gives accurate readings in all areas except weight-based, and provides reasonably accurate info. However, others say that the calories you have burned is not as accurate as it could be, did not accurately calculate weekly days of activity, and has problems with heart rate and step accuracy.

"...Another new feature upgrade is the timer: it has both stopwatch and actual timer, as opposed to Charge 2 which only had stopwatch feature...." Read more

"...Several say the face clock doesn't provide the date - incorrect! I provided a picture to demonstrate this is false...." Read more

"...It works with a little green light and seems accurate to me. I have another monitor and it registers the same...." Read more

"...further, the sleep records Garmin does manage to record are woefully inaccurate, underdeveloped, and unrefined compared to both Fitbit and another..." Read more

1,129 customers mention137 positive992 negative

Customers have issues with the syncing of the wearable computer. They mention that it doesn't sync reliably, it's difficult to sync with the app, and it'll refuse to synch for hours or days. The sync is pretty slow and drains the battery quite quickly. Some customers also report that the product doesn'll sync to Strava and pass the heart rate data.

"...provides at your fingertips! I've have experienced a few problems with syncing, but primarily when I fly and change time zones...." Read more

"...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...." Read more

"...not handle sudden bursts of activity well--it seems to need a lot of time to catch up...." Read more

"...that only helped for allowing to record the ride, but it doesn't record almost any speed, not even selecting the "Bike" Excercise option, so..." Read more

Tldr summary: Charge 3 is the activity band I have always wanted, finally.Who you are and what you do will dictate whether this review will help you. I am over 45, female, professional, busy and I want stay healthy and become healthier over time. I care about my health but I also have other stuff to do.I use a Fitbit because I want to try to keep moving throughout the day and be mindful but not obvious at work and then try to do low and moderate intensity workouts 3 to 5 times a week. There, I said it. The Fitbit needs to fit the rest of my life and it finally does. I feel the Charge 3 has something valuable to offer for the person who is in the back or middle of the fitness pack.Appearance first: I want my Fitbit to match my professional persona at work and not exude a gym vibe. This has always been my problem with activity trackers in general; I think they are unattractive at work with a suit. I really like the Charge 3 size; it isn't too wide, it isn't too thick, the face isn't too big. To me, it can look like a watch and not some giant work out thing. I switched out the band for more professional and feminine straps from Amazon and I think it looks like jewelry at my professional job.The Fitbit has made this the easiest band to change straps. It is no problem at all and feels secure. I can tell when it is clicked into place and I lost a Fitbit before so this is important to me. I bought the black Charge because I can buy off brand, affordable straps and not worry about metals clashing. I do not pay for the "designer" bands from Fitbit... I bought 2 leather slim profile and one rose gold slim band for less than $20 each on Amazon. I have the plastic cheap one it came with for actual sweaty or swimming work outs. I think a man could buy a thicker strap and it would look masculine.Visual/face: I like the face of the Charge 3. I have it set to see time, date, and stat. It is a lot easier to scroll through the other available information than the Alta and it is a lot more readable. I like the choices of watch faces but I don't anticipate changing it now that I found one be that works for me.Function: I like the heart rate, the sleep cycle, the waterproofing. I like everything about what it shows me. I think the sleep cycle is accurate for me. The heart rate is accurate. The heart rate tracks all day without missing a reading. The battery is better than my Alta and lasts 5 days for me. I don't do notifications or use the smart watch features so cannot comment on it and that may be why my battery is lasting longer. I use the 2 minute breathing a couple of times a day. I use the 250 steps an hour challenge now that I can see it on my new watch.Other review comments: I did the Firmware update and have no problems connecting to my work iPhone or my personal Samsung phone and tablet. No issues syncing so far. I wore with my Alta at the same time and steps matched. I have been testing my steps for 4+ years and I find Fitbit accurate for me. I agree My Fitness Pal is best for food tracking vs the Fitbit app.App: I realistically don't want to join a gym and it is too cold for me to make myself swim right now. As you can tell by reading this, I am not a hard core person for exercise. I am trying the Fitbit Coach and I like it. I travel and I like that I can just do the exercises anywhere and there are a lot of choices of activity. I like that there are inside and outside exercises and things in can just do in my living room or hotel room. I like that there are all different lengths of exercises from 10 min to 18 minutes to an hour. It is a small commitment, no equipment needed, as convenient as you can get, and a lot of variety. I am trying for a month and I think this is what I have been looking to add to the my walking 10,000 steps a day.I see the Fitbit as a tool but I don't want it to annoy me. Most of the time I found the badges and challenges tiresome and making something out of nothing. I do like knowing I walked to the Moon but really it is just kind of not relevant. I was only using the Fitbit for steps and checking the app once a week or maybe less. Now I feel like I am going to take advantage of the more sophisticated offerings. I like seeing the graphs that show REM sleep and resting heart rate and cardio insights. This is the first time where I feel the app is offering me more than just glib surface information.Other bands I have used: I had the One, which I liked because it was hidden but didn't do much. I had to dig down my shirt or look at my phone to see my steps. I bought the little tiny Fitbit Flex 2 and the metal holder was ridiculously hard to get the Fitbit in and out of and didn't show anything - you had to look on your phone. The Alta had a slim profile but was hard to see and super hard to change bands. Ultimately I lost the Flex2 due to a necklace malfunction and abandoned the Alta for not being useful enough to justify wearing something I thought was ugly. I briefly had delusions of fitness grandeur and have a Garmin Vivoactive HR. It was too hard core for me and too big and plastic. Alas, Garmin made me realize I am just not into fitness as a "lifestyle."
