Nice review! You got all the basis, including the things the band is missing! Nice to see this from a smaller channel! I'm subscribing to see how you grow on the reviews! And let us know about a follow up on the product after a while!!
Pretty good review, thanks!
The white one is feminine? I stopped watching at this point.
I'm part of the beta, and I do think they're using the spo2 sensors with us because they explicitly tell us, in the beta information, that they're measuring our breathing disturbances. But when we're using the relax app, Fitbit also measures our breathing in a way, so maybe this is a different iteration of that same tactic? Hopefully not.
I love Canadians. He just seems like a nice dude, even when he says "that sucks" about certain features.
Do you find the sport band stops your wrist from ‘sweating’? With the regular band I feel like my wrist feels wet even just during regular wear, I’m always adjusting the watch because of this feeling. Just wondering if the perforated band helps with this?
Great job! You explained clearly. Thank you
Money doesn't shows you if a product is good, Apple is the perfect example!
Thanks for the review! I came here to find out what in the world the Special Edition entailed ??♀️
I see now it has to do with the extra straps.
I'm ordering one today and was wondering if the "Special Edition" was going to be worth the $20 extra.
The way you were saying button was triggering me
Sweet video! Wish thy had fitbit spo2's sensor working ! :@
Is it waterproof or resistant and what is the difference?
What makes it a special edition tho? Extra stuff in the box?
Very good review ? thanks! I'm considering buying so it was so useful to see this ?
hey man good informative review! I just subscribed to your channel but where is the follow up video, or have you done one yet? I just got this Charge 3 for christmas, the special addition. This is my first ever fitbit, I normally go with Samsung since I carry a Note 8. How are you getting 8 days of battery life? I'm lucky if I get 5…
Great review. Covered everything I was thing I was interested. I wish they would switch the white strap for the grey one they have with the versa. I did see you can get third party bands on eBay for pretty cheap.
Love the review I just subscribed
thank for nice review. "you live in Canada and adopt tech very slowly". Man, you are living the LIFE!! Good for you!
Silly that I can’t add water consumption on the device, so I don’t bother. And even on the iPhone app it has 8 ounce, 16 ounce and 24 ounce, but mostly I drink in 12 ounce increments. It seems like it would be very easy to add these features.
Is it water proof? Edit:I swim for 2 hrs for swim practice so im not sure if its ok
Enjoyed your video. MY watch does not display the date, how did you get yours to display the date?
Great review. I still haven’t decided if I like the white band or not. You’re right about it seeming a bit too flashy. One thing I noticed about the step tracking is that it uses an altimeter, which measures altitude – therefore I noticed when driving it add steps as u go up and down hills ?
Just letting you know the pinkish strap of the other special edition also comes with 3 more straps including the black woven one
???????? great review !
You can customize your on device exercise choices in the Fitbit app. Go to your account, select charge 3, and scroll down to exercise shortcuts. You can delete them add new ones. If they don’t have the one you want enable smart track in the exercise tile settings. This feature will recognize activities without having to start on on the Fitbit. You can rename them once synced with the app
