When I swipe over to Weather on my Charge 3, it never works and says to try syncing with my phone... That doesn't work either. Any insights?

Hi CathieW1,

 

If you use an Android phone, the issue could be the data usage setting. For weather to sync consistently on the Fitbit Charge 3, it appears you need to go to Settings/Data usage, scroll to Fitbit app, and uncheck the "Restrict background data." There may be a similar setting for iPhone, but I don't know. I consciously decided to check the "Restrict background data" on the Fitbit app because I get longer battery life on my phone that way. But when I had the setting unchecked, the weather on the C3 stayed current very well, not only for my current location but for 2 other locations. I hope this helps!

Cannot see weather on my fitbit charge 3 even after syncing with app. 

Also giving incorrect floors climbed. Was working fine earlier. 

Cannot see current heartbeat rate on the app.

After 2 years with a fitbit charge 3, I've had 4 replacements, all for
screens that stopped working, and finally I just got a refund.
When they work , they're nice. But, they break too much and too easily from
regular use. The apps have issues, yes you can troubleshoot most but, the
problems come back.
The fitbit Interface has also become spammy where they are trying to SELL
you more functions, when the basic ones don't work properly.

Fitbit is not worth the trouble you get for your money.
Made me lose interest in fitness/sleep tracking and smart watches overall.
I no longer want to be dependent on it, it's like being on a leash tethered
to your phone.

Enjoy your life without one, and if you really need it because you are a
professional athlete, get a better brand.

Mine is less than a year old. It’s already outdated. The weather works sporadically!! I believe they need to stop selling outdated watches at new watch prices. Or at least tell people they aren’t updating them anymore.

I’ve done this. It hasn’t helped me.
