Charge 3 Issues

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Have had a Charge 3 for about 2 months and have already had more issues with it than the entire time I used my Charge 2. What is Fitbit doing to address the ongoing issues we all seem to be having. Definitely wouldn't recommend that anyone purchase a Charge 3.

Ok. Thanks. I haven't had mine for a year yet. Do i take it back to where we purchased it or send it to fitbit? My husband purchased it online and he doesn't remember through who.

Just contacted Fitbit customer service chat again and they want me to do the troubleshooting crap again after inhave done it already several times. This is bull. It is not a charging issue. My app is showing it has a charge and is syncing you just can't see anything on the screen.

This is a common problem I returned one of my many Charge 3's over the same issue. Unfortunately Best Buy has a 15 day return policy as most electronics stores do. I bought all of my Fitbit's from Costco and they always have great return policies. Amazon also has great return policies as well. I bought a Charge 2 on Amazon just reasently and couldn't be happier with my purchase.

It’s covered by Fitbit for one year. Call the company - apparently many people are having issues

I bought mine from target with extended warranty so it will be replaced for three years until they figure something out SMH. _ ridiculous- I would gladly pay the difference but not buy another

M406,

 

Sorry to hear about your problems.  Be advised it’s 50% off the retail price plus tax so you’ll be saving even less than you think when you upgrade. Definitely not happy with their replacement/upgrade policy if you’re experienced multiple problems.

 

I went from Charge to Charge 2 (had two of them with same problem sleep tracking gaps), just upgraded to Charge 3 $80+ but seeing that many Charge 3s have similar problems will go back to replacement Charge 2 instead. Probably sell it and get a smart watch.

I agree with you. I have had my charge 3 replaced once for missing pixels. They send to a new one 2 months ago and it's happening to this one also. It's very frustrating.

I have an Apple Watch but to upgrade I’m losing the 150 I have already paid on top of paying another 80 plus tax for a watch only 10$ more then the charge 3 - doesn’t seem like a good deal

Yes had 3 fail and the latest replacement didn't even work. On day 1 now have to wait another 10 days to get replaced absolutely appalled at the quality.

 

High failures they break down and become unresponsive

I don’t understand why FIt bit won’t fix the issue instead of shipping out watches -
