Customer Ratings & Reviews

I went swimming in the pacific open with this thing on for a few weeks in May and for extended periods of time. While it didn’t really track my activity level (I forgot to start the exercise/swim part), it did keep track of my heart rate and also still worked after getting out of the water almost 5 hours later (earlier models couldn’t be worn submerged). It’s held up pretty well considering how many times I bounce off of things with it. I finally got a scratch on the screen from scraping up against a cement wall in a pool, but other than that, it’s still in perfect condition. I’m not sure how accurate it is all the time with tracking my sleep, but it does feel like it at least gets in the ballpark. This is my third Fitbit, and I’m sure I’ll end up getting another one in a year or so.

I bought this for my mom as a Christmas gift. I gave her the choice of a Fitbit and an Apple Watch (like I have). She chose this for her needs and she loves it! All she wanted was something to track her steps and exercises. She doesn’t need to text or answer calls on it although she enjoys being able to receive a text. It would be nice if Fitbit allowed iPhone owners to respond to texts instead of android only. The battery life is phenomenal and blows away my Apple Watch. Her Fitbit lasts about one week which is awesome! Her only complaint is she says the bands feel a little poorly made but nothing major.

I love this thing! It’s so cool how it tracks your sleep and breaks it down into the different types of sleep. It reminds me to get up and move around in my office every hour and I compete with my nephew to see who can get the most steps.

The battery life is remarkable on the Charge 3. It is exactly as advertised - 7 days w/ heart rate enabled & advanced sleep tracking. I also highly recommend for anyone with small wrists (the smaller band fits perfect & is very comfortable). The durability is surprisingly great...coming from a guy who used to break watches all the time...or run them over w/ a car (true story). However, I cannot attest to the water-resistance as I do not wear it in the shower or pool, but no issues in the rain!

I had been a Fitbit user about 5 years ago and am impressed by how much more is in the app now. I like not worrying about getting it wet and have even tracked some casual swimming. Battery life is good,

This is my first fitness watch, I like it so far. Easy to use and setup, do have a problem with it syncing sometimes but if I am patient it works out.

I was sceptical that a fitbit would motivate me to walk more and pay closer attention to my fitness. This device has changed my life. I watch my steps every day and track my sleep. I have lost 15 pounds. Great product

I have had several activity trackers, but THIS Charge 3 captures all the features I have been wanting in ONE tracker! Being able to track HR, waterproof, and sleek design combined into ONE activity tracker makes THE ultimate device!

wanted watch/GPS to start tracking steps taken during a given time, easy to use, strap is a little sloppy, wrist seems to be in between openings. Overall works for what the intent was in buying

This is great for the most part only issue is it’s having trouble syncing correctly with my phone. Very good design and features if it syncing issue was fix I’d give it a perfect review

I like tis Fitbit - it's a little larger than the Charge 2 with some of the same design layout as C2. Couldn't buy the extended warranty but I guess when it's dead I'll have to buy something else. Good so far.

HR is not really accurate compare to other fitness tracker but it shows the trend of your heart beats. Easy to use, long battery life, great bang for your bucks.

The pros: Very good for fitness. I know my mileage, how much of that was considered cardio and fitness, my heartrate. If I choose to wear it to bed I can see my sleep patterns. The cons: I have broken 3 watch bands in the same place, each after about a year. Since I had the Best Buy warranty, I replaced them. This time, they would not give me the warranty, which means they know there is a defect. I have had this watch for less than a year, so I don't know if they have fixed the problem. I would not buy another, if this band breaks. The other problem is that the band is rubber and gets hot and sweaty with exercise. I would prefer a choice of bands.

The Fitbit Charge 3 does everything that I need to track fitness as well as useful apps. One that I use often is weather. Also the Charge 3 runs a long time between charges. The Charge 3 is also waterproof.

I primarily use this to track my sleep habits and amount of steps taken daily. It helped me to realize that I need more sleep and I became more conscience of the amount of sleep of was getting or needed to get.

I bought it for the watch and to track my steps. It works great and I'm really starting to enjoy the other features ( heart rate, stairs, weather, calls, texts ) to name a few but my favorite is tracking my sleep.

I love the Fitbit watch. I do hope that this new one lasts longer than 18months though. The last one, screen turned gray. I did get a two year warranty on this new one thru Fitbit.

I bought this for my elderly father to track his activity and his sleep. It’s easy to use and he loves it. Each morning he is eager to learn how deeply he slept—or didn’t sleep—the night before.

I have been wearing Fitbit bands for about 9 year now and about 6 years ago started wearing the Fitbit Charge 1 and then upgraded to the Charge 2. Fitbit has made great improvements with the Charge 3 and fixed a lot of the issues the previous versions had. Here are some of the positive changes: much longer battery life; ability to see the percentage of battery life left; notifications when I get messages and ability to quickly respond. This particular band is much more comfortable on my wrist than the previous bands and cooler in the summer. Fitbit also seems to have improved the face cover. This is my most favorite Fitbit yet and I am extremely pleased with my purchase and the great price Best Buy offered.

Was torn between going big with Apple Watch 4 or a replacement for my Charge HR. For me, the fitness/sleep tracking won out over app integration with my iPhone. Primary driver for upgrade was failing (non replaceable) wristband and waterproof. The special edition gave me the extra stylish band; I have not yet tried the payment feature but I plan to. What exceeded my expectations was the integration with my iPhone. I can read text messages and the subjects of emails; I can decide to respond without taking out my phone. If I need to respond, I take out the phone. Battery life is 6-7 days. All day synch works great. Time zone changes work much better than my Charge HR. Only problem is display is difficult to read in full sunlight.
