This was an upgrade for me from the Charge 2. I love that I can now switch out the band based on my outfit and needs. I bought a silicon band from Amazon which is much more comfortable for sleeping and working at the keyboard than the OEM band. The rose color is very nice, as is the blue-gray band (large and small are both included in the package). I have had this for 4 months and have not had problems getting it to sync with the FitBit app on my phone, nor have I had problems charging it. I need to charge this maybe every 5-7 days, which is great. It syncs easily to the GPS on my phone via Bluetooth, so it can map where I have walked, and the Noom app on my phone syncs with the FitBit app to track my steps.
I subtracted a star because the screen sustained a scratch the first week I owned it. I live a low-key life and hadn't had any accidents with the Charge, but apparently just casually banging my hand on a surface left a scratch.

Not really a fan of having to turn/flick the wrist to activate the time. At the least, the ability to change how long the display stays on before automatically shutting off would be nice. Other than that seems to work accurately enough to be useful!

I wear this watch nearly everyday. It’s been great for sleep tracking. However I’ve been disappointed how in accurate the step tracking is. The bands seem to wear out quickly, as I had to replace both within a short amount of time.

I received as a present to replace a Fitbit 2. It is easier to use and has a lot of enhancements to monitor my activity. The ability to swipe between screens is very helpful. The water resistance feature makes it available while swimming or even in the shower. The battery seems to have a longer life between charges.

I upgraded to this fitness tracker from the Fitbit Alta (non HR) and I enjoy the added functionality. I can track my runs with GPS (with phone), get pace during the run, and can see my heartrate. It may not be as flashy as some of the Garmin trackers, but I think the Charge 3 is enough for what I need and a fair price

I’ve had a couple Fitbit models and switched to an Apple Watch a few months ago. I regretted it and went back with this newest version of Fitbit. Even though it’s not a smart watch, it does a much better job of tracking heart rate, activity, steps and sleep than Apple hands down.

I purchased the Fitbit 3 for my wife's birthday and have been in good standing since the purchase. The setup was easy and simple. So easy that she insisted on completing the profile settings independent of any guidance from yours truly. And, she nailed it on the first go round!!

This is a replacement for a charge 2 that lasted 17months. Used BB coverage to replace. I like the options, and tracking a number of different things, sleep, steps active...
Have found fitbit products have a limited life span. They last a year yo 18 months.

The Fitbit charge 3 had a sleek design that looks like just another watch but it's on so much more! Ever wonder how many miles you actually walk in a day? This will tell you that and so much more! I would buy it again if I needed too but with it being water resistant and very durable theres no need!

I was happy with and looking for a replacement charge HR because the non-detachable band became detached from my HR currently in use. I found the Charge 3 and the price was good so I made the purchase. I haven't started using it to the fullest of its capabilities yet, but I am well pleased with it so far.

Main reason for purchasing this model was the water proof feature. I did not really want a screen this large. Even though the screen is larger than many other models, the print is extremely small except for the time. I did not make this purchase for the time! Functioning well.

I like it is waterproof. It still has problems reporting sleep before midnight once in a while. I've gone to bed at 9 and in the morning the time before midnight isn't reported. I bought it instead of a smartwatch because at my job smartwatches aren't allowed in many areas.

I was between the iWatch and this Charge 3, waited until the release date and bought the 3 because it was cheaper and finally water proof. Works most the time but after only a week or so it wouldn’t Sync. Finally got it to reset and worked again. I travel a lot and the alarm clocks do not properly change with the time zone or there is a deeper issue there because my alarms go off at the wrong time while showing the time I selected. Alarms worked great at first but the first business trip around the world I noticed the alarms off by three or so hours after my Charge 3 updated the time zone. Worst part is the time zone was more than 3 hours off the original. So I’ve had a enough bugs to not be thrilled with my purchase. Wish I woulda spent another $150 on the iWatch.

I had a Fitbit HR for a few years until it broke from age and regular use. I do like the bigger screen and the ability to read texts but it took a hit within 30 days and broke. Screen went black but it was still tracking movement etc. The older ones were much more durable.

Not my first fitbit.
Really like the longer lasting battery, gps and design. Very comfortable. This is my second one. The first one was chewed up by our puppy. Replaced with the same color/model.
Use it for my bike rides, walks and phone notifications. Very happy with it.

I love this tracker because it's not pretending to be something it's not: this is a fitness tracker, not a smartwatch. It delivers detailed health data and does a wonderful job if it. There aren't many features, but in my opinion, that's okay. It does exactly as it promises, and the battery life is excellent.

It's been a couple of months now and my wife absolutely loves it. Has a larger screen but not too big like the one size up. Has way more functionality than the previous models plus its waterproof. You can download apps but dont mistake it for a gear or apple watch, that's a higher level/price equipment.

I bought this Fitbit for my mother who's Eighty years old to use to keep track of her heart rate. She was able to set it up no problem and is thrilled with all of the functions. The band could be constructed better as it unlacthes when it gets caught things which causes the Fitbit to fall off her wrist.

The product came in with no damage, this is a sleek and beautiful fitness tracker. This Fitbit has made the easiest band to change straps. I like the heart rate, the sleep cycle, the waterproofing, no problem at all, and feels secure.
