So whether you're cycling, swimming, running or lifting, you can opt to be alerted when you reach your chosen target for calories burned, distance or duration. I think what this means in practice is that it will do nothing at all of any use at launch, but could become useful in the future.Īnother interesting innovation, although again not perhaps a life-changer, is the option to set goals for your workouts. However, this is a) not saying much, considering how hopelessly inaccurate Charge 2 is when you're really going for it and b) possibly stretching a point on the other claim.Īn all-new 'relative SpO2 sensor' gives the 'potential to estimate changes in blood oxygen levels and help track new health indicators, like sleep apnoea.'
We'll have to wait and see.įitbit says its 'PurePulse' heart rate tech has been improved and now claims greater accuracy during exercise, with 'a better measure of calorie burn and resting heart rate to optimise workouts and help uncover health trends.' Okay, that's a bit woolly, but done right, actually could be a life-changer.
Fitbit promises that, 'dynamic insights about your activity, heart rate, nutrition and sleep… help you reach your goals with positive reinforcement and tips to course correct when needed.' This is described as 'coming soon', which may or may not mean at launch. It's not really directly related to the Charge 3 as it will be in the app only, but what is being promised are personalised, more useful insights, based on the data provided from the Charge 3, and the rest of the Fitbit range. However, there are little signs that Fitbit has recognised this and wants to change things. They just give you a bunch of isolated stats and leave you to get on with it. The main issue with Fitbits – and practically all other fitness wearables – is that they don't coach you to get better, or tell you how well you're doing in a useful and relatable way. Fitbit Charge 3 review: genuine improvements could be coming to the fitness tracking (but not yet) The reason I don't think it necessarily looks better is that the Charge 2 was more masculine looking, at least to my eyes, whereas the Charge 3 has a more unisex feel. In terms of comfort if not sexiness, the Charge 3 is greatly improved. This means you can wear it in the pool, where it will count your laps, or the bath, where it won't.

Despite all these improvements, the Charge 3 is notably lighter than its predecessor. I don't think it's actually any more attractive than the earlier Charges, but it is a literally more wearable, wearable.Īs noted, the headline improvement is full waterproofing for the first time on a Charge.
