![]() ![]() And for any persons that go hard at the gym, while running, or playing any kind of sport, this alone makes quite a significant difference. Conducting a pressure test on the straps of both units reveals how much play the Charge 2 has, with zero play on the Charge 3. This makes it a lot more durable in the long run as there is a lot less flex in motion. Instead, it plugs straight in and is clipped in place by two pins, and held in place by another two circular pins. Unlike the previous model, it doesn’t clip in as you slide it in from the top. One of the first impressions on the new Charge 3 was how the strap attached to the capsule. ![]() In the two years I’ve owned my Charge 2 device I’ve been through three or four new straps as a result of playing contact sports and running long distance, which creates quite a lot of wear and tear. Fitbit has made quite a number of changes that have affected the build quality of the Charge 3, which makes it lighter, slimmer, more durable and, with the updated strap, more comfortable. How much improvement does it bring to the party over the previous Charge 2 and is it a must-have for existing owners?Īt first glance, there isn’t such a major design overhaul that you wouldn’t immediately recognise the unit as a Fitbit and more specifically from the Charge family – okay, maybe not so much the original Charge. ![]() When Fitbit announced they were updating the Charge range with the new Charge 3, I knew it would be right up my alley, especially with new enhancements such as a touchscreen interface. Having owned a Charge 2 for quite some time now, I’m more than happy with how it tracks my daily progress, sports, heartrate and sleep patterns. But, it’s devices such as the Charge 2 and Alta HR that gain market success, thanks to their competitive pricing and well-round feature set for tracking fitness activities. Devices such as the Ionic and Versa are upper and middle tier smartwatches, with a lot to offer. I’ve had the pleasure of owning and reviewing the full range of devices released in the past two years and I’ve enjoyed how each of them perform daily functions along with a few additional features on the higher-level units. Fitbit has made quite a significant amount of progress when it comes to fitness trackers and smartwatches, offering users a mix of options and even accessories to customise their look. ![]()
