The obvious time to charge a wearable or phone is overnight, but if you want to wear the Charge 3 to bed to track your sleep then you won't be able to do that. We would have preferred it used a more standard micro USB or USB-C connection charger, as more often than not it would run out when we didn’t have the charger to hand.Īnother issue is finding a good time to charge the device. In the box, you’ll find the Fitbit Charge 3 comes bundled with a proprietary charger. On average we found that we got around six days of use from our fully-charged Charge 3, which isn’t all that bad, as it means you'd only be recharging the device once a week, pretty much. ![]() We found we didn't quite hit that mark, but we were using the device pretty intensively for our tests.īut we reckon if you're not constantly using the fitness-tracking and smart features more than once a day, you'll be able to get close to the seven days estimated time on a single charge. Difficult to recharge if you want to use sleep trackingįitbit estimates the battery life for the Charge 3 lasts for seven days rather than the quoted time of five on the previous Charge 2 wearable.It's a nice idea but we're not sure if it will be all that useful for heavy sleepers. There's also a silent alarm mode, which vibrates the tracker on your wrist to gently wake you without disturbing anyone else close by. We found the wearable feels comfortable enough while sleeping, but we didn't always want to wear it to bed, as Fitbit suggests you should.Īs with any sleep tracking tech, you never truly know how well it has tracked you, but what the Charge 3 recorded for us seemed about right. Sleep tracking makes a return on the Fitbit Charge 3, giving you a glimpse into your night with details on REM, light and deep sleep. Exactly why Fitbit doesn't offer that in the UK and US is currently unclear, but it's not too much more to spend if you're desperate for the feature. In Australia, all versions of the Fitbit Charge 3 come with Fitbit Pay onboard. We've yet to use the Special Edition tracker, but we've found it to work well on those Fitbit watches. If you've bought the Special Edition version of the Fitbit Charge 3 in the US or UK, you'll also get Fitbit Pay as well like we've seen on the Fitbit Ionic and Versa. While it’s not something we were able to test in our review at this stage, female health tracking is now on the wrist too, so you’ll be able to use the Fitbit Charge 3 to track your next period. We've yet to properly try the feature out, but we plan to do so soon. You can connect to your phone's GPS easily through the Fitbit app, which we’ll go into separately, later.Ī late 2018 update also brought with it auto running tracking which means the band will notice when you're jogging and pause when you've stopped. So you’ll still be able to keep an accurate eye on your distance, you’ll just need to take your phone out for a run with you. Nevertheless, the Charge 3 does have connected GPS, so it will at least work with your phone's GPS to track the distance traveled. ![]()
