Still, it's nice once you've decided something, that you have it in your possession quickly.The factory plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels much beyond stock. Ordered at Coolblue, and picked up within a few hours in Utrecht, because I was in the area anyway. The only real downside I think is that Fitbit doesn't work with Apple Healthkit. Notifications of phone calls, apps and the like on my iPhone also work fine. Especially if you add your friends to the app and can view each other's achievements. When you reach 10,000 steps, you will receive a notification with a nice animation on your display. I often walk to the coffee corner to achieve the goal for that hour. Sounds silly, but it really is.įor example, I receive a notification every hour if I have not achieved the 250 steps in that hour. The various features on the Fitbit really make me more active than I was a week ago. Had a look at the Fitbit Charge 3 at a friend of mine, and after the good reviews on Coolblue decided that it had to be it. I also had a Fitbit One in the past, but I kept losing it because you had to fasten it to your belt. The AW 4 doesn't have those drawbacks, but $479 is quite a lot of money. The AW 1 was a cool gadget at the time, but the battery life in particular was disappointing, and I couldn't swim or shower with the watch. For the casual user this is fine I thinkĪfter selling my Apple Watch 1, I hesitated between the Watch 4 and the Fitbit charge 3. If you're really serious about sports and exercise and you care what your average swimming speed was, you can also take something else, but I'm happy when I went swimming. For me, I get everything I want out of it and I get the insights I wanted. Or you are lazy, like me, and sit on the couch watching TV and stay put.Ĭonclusion: Everything that is wrong with it I think is software, and software can be updated and I suspect that it will. If you get a reminder that you haven't moved that hour or haven't made your steps for that day yet, that could be just that push you need to walk another round. This can really help but ultimately the power of this is memory and you have to do it yourself. You can set goals about number of steps, active minutes, hours you want to be active (take 250 steps every hour). What I really liked about him is running, there the data is just beating and clearly and it gives nice extra insights about average speed and distance and things like that that I would almost start running more of.įurthermore, it is of course the intention of the thing that you become extra active. But I would only have burned 99 calories so something is not right there. My fitbit thought I did 90 laps in those 56 minutes, I don't know how many I did but that would be 1.5 laps per minute and I'm really not that fast. I recently tried swimming for the first time, because that is possible, because it is waterproof, but here it was not very strong either (understatement) I had swam for 56 minutes. This of course also affects things like calories you would have burned, but I don't take this too seriously so I don't mind. Still, sometimes it indicates that I have climbed ten flights of stairs in a day (one day it even indicated 40, while it was 0). I live on the ground floor and only have classes on the ground floor so there are no stairs in my life most days. A great example here is climbing stairs, I don't walk stairs. Personally not a big deal for me but I imagine you'll sort of get there. Software is not quite perfect yet, I had already seen this in other reviews. Biggest advantage for me is sleep tracking I just really like to see and know more about it (for example I don't sleep as much as I thought actually), the silent alarm clock is great too I didn't think it would wake me up but never slept through and super nice for my partner who doesn't have to wake up from my alarm clock. To start with: battery life is amazing just hooked up to the charger after 8.5 days (day!) of non-stop use.
