Same I'm currently using my vivosmart 4 and so far I dont have major complaints besides the small screen and it can be unresponsive sometimes. It even has a music controller which the charge 3 lacks plus it has the auto IQ which if you run it will detect that's you're running plus it has smart notifications and can even respond with basic responses
@johnrohde2436 жыл бұрын
I have the Charge HR and are considering if Apple Watch4 is worth it, or the Charge3. I like the small form factor or the Charge3 (and the much lower cost). It's also nice that the Fitbit doesn't make it look like I'm wearing 2 watches when I have an automatic watch on the other wrist.

I had charge3 for 1 year. So, after the year, a rubber band broken. I've replaced it to a longer one from the box (it was included, probably for thicker wrists) - and after a week it starts to endlessly auto pressing the main button... So now I just couldn't use it and it discharges battery really fast. I've cleaned it, took off all bands, but nothing substantially changed( Also, the warranty period is out. Now I'm thinking about another tracker, definitely not Fitbit. The screen is damaged a bit, some horizontal stripes have appeared. Also, it "counts" steps even when I just waiving my hands. So, based on my experience I definitely wouldn't recommend buying anything from Fitbit - it's just expensive, not so durable, and even can't properly perform its main task - count steps properly.

I work for Fitbit support, we have added 2 more clock faces that include the date, just make sure to update the tracker on the app as well as check the new app update to be able to see the new clock faces. Much more great updates coming soon. Regarding the step accuracy, I would recommend to give your tracker a restart, that will help to refresh the internal logs that could be causing accuracy issues and overall performance. After that, do a quick step test. Also, you may need to readjust your stride length on the settings if you feel the issue persists. I think that what makes this screen better than the Charge 2 is that you can adjust the brightness, if has a more powerful inner rotor that will make the vibrations feel strong enough that can easily wake you up when the alarm goes on, the ability to detect swipes and not only taps and the fact that the frame is all black (standard edition) for which you actually had to pay extra on the Charge 2 being this a very elegant design. And last but not least, it has Gorilla Glass, so the screen will be more durable and resistant to scratches. That and the onscreen weather app I believe makes it a much better device compared to its predecessor. I hope you reconsider and decide to stay with your Fitbit, but if you feel like you are not satisfied at all, make sure to claim the warranty before 45 days from purchase if you want to get a full refund.

Today, 6/16/2019, my wife gave me a Fitbit Versa fitness tracker watch for Father's Day. I was very excited to receive it. My son spent an hour and a half setting it up for me (that seems too long). 1. The ads says the Fitbit Versa has an atimeter. This is FALSE. The Fitbit Versa can tell me how many flights of stairs I have climbed but it cannot give me the altitude. I have to get that information from my phone. The Fitbit Versa does not have an altimeter. 2. The ad says the Fitbit versa has an blood oxygen monitor (SP02). This is FALSE. Supposedly there is an SP02 sensor on the back of the Fitbit Versa which is not enabled because Fitbit has been unable to get it to work. So why is Fitbit talking about this non-existant feature? 3. The promotional articles say the Fitbit Versa will be able to provide EKG information. This is FALSE. Only basic heart rate information is provided. It does not even show heart beat over time. It just shows current heart rate. I can get that info from a $30 product. 4. The ads says the Fitbit Versa heart rate monitor is accurate. This is partly true and partly false. I hiked 90 minutes today and the Fitbit Versa was able to capture my heart rate 75% of the time. That is better than the old Fitbits that were wildly inaccurate, but it is not wonderful performance. Articles says the Fitbit Charge 3 has a better heart rate monitor. Who knows. I don't trust Fitbit any more. 5. The ads say that the Fitbit Versa has a battery that will last 3 days. This is FALSE. Starting from a full charge, after my 90 minute hike, where I checked my pulse multiple times, used half of the battery. 6. The screen of the Fitbit Versa is very difficult to use. I do not like to stop when hiking. I want to just look at my watch/fitness tracker to see what my stats are. IMPOSSIBLE! Whenever I wanted to check my heart rate, I had to stop, squint at the screen, push a button on the side of the watch for HOME, press a heart icon on the bottom of the watch, then swipe upwards about 20 times before the watch would bring up the series of screens that lead to the heart rate screen. This makes the heart rate function nearly worthless to me. The ONLY feature that the Fitbit Versa has which is useful is a heart rate monitor yet it is way too difficult to use and not very informative and does not always work. I do not need the useless features like an additional alert from my watch if I receive a text or phone call. The alert from my phone is sufficient. I have not tried the music feature of the Fitbit Versa but people who have say it is impossible to precisely manage your music list, resulting in people being forced to listen to music that they hate. BOTTOM LINE: Fitbit is going to lose money on me. I am returning the totally unsatisfactory Fitbit Versa for a refund. I will try out the Fitbit Charge 3. It is sucks, I will return it too. Does anyone make a good heart rate monitor? I am really tired of half-assed crappy electronics that don't work.

Damn, I was going to go get my Inspire replaced with a Charge 3 under warranty because the screen stopped working, but then I changed the clock face and it works 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

I would get the versa over the charge 3. You get more out of it for the price. I am all about valued products
@JulianKapa4 жыл бұрын
@@GadgetGreg The Versa is probably worth it at retail price, but right now, I could get a Charge 3 for 99AUD, whereasa the Versa is 239AUD.

You should take a look at the Amazfit bip basically the same as that Fitbit but much better price and better battery prob

Why does it not show battery percentage without being plugged in? Seems so ass backwards.

These comparisons are odd. Also, this product is antiquated - look at the Samsung Gear Fit Pro (first one), which is almost 2 years old and is superior in almost every regard. And cheaper.

I hear people use smart watches in the shower. I find it hilarious. But on the fitbit, I'm really glad it's water resistant. Not so keen on touch screen though. But I'm sure it's intuitive 👍😁. I would like to try it out.
@joemann79715 жыл бұрын
I used my charge 3 in the shower, just because I can. It's mostly to clean underneath the watch, since residue builds up underneath. Since it's waterproof, I figure might as well clean underneath the watch while I shower. Plus, I sort of have an OCD where I want to track everything, even while I'm in the shower. lol.

How is this better that the Xiaomi Band 3 that costs like 25 bucks?

Why didn't you compare this to a good smart watch like the galaxy watch?

Those apple fans or cheap tracker lovers just have no idea how good sleep tracking fitbit has brought to us, talk about data!
@matthewdolman6 жыл бұрын
By definition, any watch based sleep data is borderline useless. Nothing can replace monitoring the brain.

IversonChemist there are apps for that and are more accurate lol if that’s ur only reason to buy the fitbit then u must be delusional

Ju Chen do your own research. Of course fitbit can last for days with the minimal functions it has. Use your brain to analyze you fool. You can’t compare a simple product made with simple parts to a complicated product like apple watch or other smart watches with more functions. Stupid

I have the Charge 2 with a pretty good battery life. All these new versions 3 and 4 just add a bunch of junk you don't need. Music? Really? Spotify? GPS. What the heck. It should have stayed a simple fitness band with the basic functions and not changed it and discontinued the very good Charge 2. I will never upgrade to this junk.

I just can't understand why fitbit won't just license their sensors to watch makers so we can use their excellent software without having to walk around with a turd on our wrists.
