Review on πŸƒ Optimized Fitbit Charge 3 Activity Tracker for Fitness Enthusiasts by Kenneth Foster

Revainrating 1 out of 5

too fragile for everyday use

I set it up and it was a good start - tracking steps, stairs, elliptical, sleep patterns, heart rate. It was easy to switch out the straps for the larger ones in the box. Notifications required swiping and you had to wait for the first one to enable future ones for that app. Slight Learning Curve – There is a slight delay in the app before motion and sleep show up in the app. It also seems like it only wants to pair with 1 device, so after pairing with my phone I can run the app on my tablet but only connect to the phone via bluetooth once. I did find a few annoying features - no date option (which I'd like to replace my watch with) and it lights up quite brightly a few times while you sleep if it's within inches of your face. Unfortunately, after 3 days, a line appeared on the display - a hairline. the crack develops about half the width in diameter. I wore it to work at my desk and around the house. No consequences. Not even working in the yard. Packed and sent back.
