For a change I have a positive message. I am very happy with my new Charge 3. My wife gave that to me. So I had no expectations to start with. As most new complex toys, it took a little effort to get it working, but also this forum was very helpfull in tackling most issues. You must give right permissions to gps and bluetooth and so. Also getting th oxygen change working took some tweaks and a restart with the charger connected. I would not have quickly found that in my own, despite being a technician. But now all is running well.

I furst installed it on my Galaxy A51. Later I bought the Galaxy S20 and transferred the app to that. It now is working on that ok.

It registrates so much of your activities during day and night. It makes very clear that I should really work on my night rest. I already suspected that, but now I cannot deny anymore 😄. The differnt types of sleep, registrated and displayed so clear, helps thinking how to improve that. New question arise, how can I decrease the duration and times that I wake up? Should I use earplugs and eyeblinds? Or other solutions if neccesary. And what abiut the deep sleep? Is not 40 minutes a little short? Can I make that longer? Should I.  The gps map of the tracks I walked and the speed changes, and the registration of distance and time help a lot to improve and to setup alternate routes. 

I already did register on regular base my bloodpressure with a Medisana device. When there is peaks I can compare that with my heartrate charts of the fitbit. Next thing is mesduring my Oxygen level with a fingerclip. Perhaps one day this all can be combined in a single device like the fitbit or whatever for fully monitoring your biophysics.
