So I'm cheating because I'm not 24 hours in...but I have some first impressions.
For starters, and a big deal to me...text notifications...the sender name is a very dull white/gray and the message is very bright white/gray. At the absolute very least I would want it the other way...sender dark and message light. I would also like the option to turn OFF the message altogether on the device (changing this setting via web is fine, just like the Charge 2), but in return I'd like the sender name to be larger print. I've got 50 year old eyes now and so I have cheaters all over the darn place, but I don't need them for distance, just up close stuff (i.e. reading). So "glancing" at the Charge 3, most of the time, is frustrating...I could get by on the Charge 2.
So that leads to a general statement...I'd love to see an "old fart" option where I can opt into larger fonts and brightness of text. I personally would be willing to give up having 2 stats per screen, or 2 anything per screen, in lieu of one per screen with a larger font.
The auto pause feature does not recognize walking or hiking as exercises that are available for auto pause. In fact nothing I set up in my shortcuts are recognized. I believe this is probably just a "bug fix".
I'd like the ability to turn off the relax function...don't use it, don't need it, don't want to see it.
Timers...set increments only. I can certainly get by with it, but I was hoping for being able to set specific stuff...I would like to use it for when I'm cooking, for example. But I realize this is a very nit picky thing. I use my phone now and am fine continuing to do so, and I haven't checked out if the Charge 3 will be able to alert if an alarm goes off on the phone...if so then problem solved for me.
The vibration does indeed feel stronger than the Charge 2.
MORE CLOCK FACES for sure! I miss the one I was using on the Charge 2 already! I was using the large font w date. So with that said, I would like to add that a clock face with large font time, date and weather would be nice.
I haven't had any incoming calls so can't speak to that, but while it was a little inconvenient to see the alerts scroll (including text in that statement), I actually think, for me, it works better because the font is larger overall.
All-in-all I like it but I'm missing some things from the Charge 2. But I also had an adjustment moving from Alta HR to Charge 2 so I know some of this will be just getting used to things. But FitBit, hear me now...PLEASE help us folks with older eyes out by making larger font options. I'd be willing to have to flick through more screens if needed, but for the sake of everyone else, I really think the best approach on that would be to allow an option to turn on/off multi stats on screen and then the font "dynamically" is larger. Or just a general larger font on/off and formatted screens however it needs to be done to make it work on your end. At least that would give an option.
