![]() Top-requested apps like Alarms, Timer, and Weather (Fitbit Leaderboard and Calendar coming in future updates).Customize and view call, calendar, text, and smartphone app notifications (like Facebook and Uber), accept or reject calls (in the works), and respond on the go with prepopulated or custom quick replies for Android users.If you only care about exercise and health functionality, it makes much more sense to go with the Charge 3.Īnd yet Fitbit is making a point of calling the Charge 3 its “smartest tracker yet” because it does include a few smartwatch-like features: ![]() ![]() It’s easy to think of the Charge 3 as a Versa with all the smartwatch features ripped out. New additions include more than 15 exercise modes, female health tracking, a new personalized dashboard for daily activity stats and health metrics, personalized insights (your activity, heart rate, nutrition, and sleep), and 24/7 guidance (automatic exercise recognition, Reminders to Move, Relax guided breathing, and sleep tracking). It’s “our most advanced tracker yet,” Hsu said. Most importantly, the Charge 3 has a ton of advanced health and fitness features. It is definitely our best band attachment mechanism ever.”Īs for software, Fitbit says it redesigned the user interface to help users reach their goals each day. “You can literally change these band attachments in two to three seconds. “With the push of a button on the back of the device, the band snaps right off and pops right back on,” Dennis Hsu, Fitbit’s director of product marketing, told VentureBeat. Charge 3 still doesn’t include a built-in GPS, although it can access your phone’s GPS to offer real-time pace and distance information.Īs with all Fitbit devices, there are a bunch of accessories and bands to choose from ($30 to $50 each). The device is also water resistant up to 50 meters (the Charge 2 is only sweat, rain, and splash proof). Speaking of the display, it’s a touchscreen grayscale OLED that is “nearly 40 percent larger and brighter” than that on the Charge 2 (which only supports tapping around the display). The Charge 3 features an inductive button, an aerospace-grade aluminum case, and a Gorilla Glass 3 display. Fitbit promises seven days of battery life for the Charge 3 (compared to the Charge 2’s five days), versus the Fitbit Ionic‘s five days and the Fitbit Versa‘s four days. ![]() I would add one more reason: battery life.
