On paper, the Charge 3 had everything I ever hoped for in a fitness tracker. Heart rate monitoring, sleep analysis and oh yes, it is waterproof! The feature that would allow me to ware this potentially amazing piece of tech during lap swimming and during outside sport activities in the rain and snow. I was thrilled... that was until I received it and stuck it on my wrist.
Here we go:
-shuts off randomly (4 times I had to hard reset)
-will randomly un-sync
-inaccurate step counts
-battery life indicator is not accurate
-wonky heart rate monitoring (sometimes over and under estimates, or doesn't show up at all)
-clock faces are horrible (appears you can only have 3 indicators on at once, thus can not have steps, time, date and HR on at the same time)
-I have spent more time troubleshooting the charge 3 than actually enjoying it.
-fitbit community slow to respond to problems.
Please fitbit, just fix this thing so we can stop complaining. It is a dream fitness tracker with so much potential but falls short in its current state. I will update this review once all problems are resolved.
TLDR: Great potential but too buggy for everyday use. Wait until its fixed to purchase.

Great for my 8 year old! Fit well and performed the basic functions we wanted it for and more. Sadly someone stole it from us shortly after Christmas, but we’re working to buy a replacement for the little one. Very easy to set up and use.
