    Doesn't work with most major phones with the app synching. Fine for like 8 phones. Don't waste your money unless you have these phones.

    It doesn't work. Check their tech support forums, they don't have a solution and just make the threads as solved. Samsung Gear Fit for an accurate HR sensor.

    Great features, beware faulty hardware

    I've owned my charge 3 for a year and a half. I was super happy with it when I got it, because it motivated me to be a healthier person through sleep tracking and step goals, and the battery life is amazing! The way it tracked workouts made me want to run harder! I'm definitely in much better shape due to this device, and it's been helpful as a smartwatch that shows text messages and allows you to accept or deny incoming calls, but... If you purchase a fitbit device, I highly recommend getting the insurance due to the hardware problems. Warranty only covers one repair/replacement(fitbit doesn't distinguish between the two) for a year, and you may need more than just the one replacement within a year. I did. The band is not that durable and the screen is sensitive to water and lots of sweat, despite it saying "splash resistent" in the features. To specify, my band broke after 7 months of use, and I had to claim warranty to get a new one. On the fitbit forums, it's mentioned that this is a common issue. Flash forward another 8 months, after my screen got wet from washing my hands, black lines cut off the display so that "10:58 am" looks like "0:5E." I never had that issue with it reacting to water like that (even accidentally jumped in the shower with it on a few times and it was fine), so I assume it was due to long term exposure to sweat and water. Guess what? This is another common issue. Sometimes you can resolve this with resetting it, which is the apparent cure-all for customer support, but oftentimes it's a hardware issue that needs replacing. I tried to contact fitbit again to get the screen display fixed, but unfortunately, even if you are willing to pay for the repairs out of pocket, they will not fix your device unless you have warranty or insurance. So, now that my device is broken and fitbit support won't help me, I have to purchase a new fitbit. I would have thought my charge 3 would at least last as long as an iphone would without breaking, but no. With everyday use it can and will break, and you better hope you still have your warranty when it does! So, summary, Be Careful with your device and water, and Get The Insurance! The $16 fee to get the 2 year insurance is much cheaper than spending $100 on a new device. And trust me, you will need it.

    One of the many things. As I was sitting watching TV, I looked down to check the time. The bit was telling me I was running and I could not get it out of that mode.

    Apparently it doesn’t sync with the iPhone XR & my phone is updated to the iOS version 13.4 & still wouldn’t sync. I was really disappointed.

    It just quit working. No display, no nothing. Fully charged, I guess because it won’t show any display at all. No phone connection either.

    I got this for my girlfriend for Christmas. Can't give a full review yet. She has the ULTA, so this one SHOULD be better. I'll be sure to add more later.
