Is there any current heart rate chest straps that sync with the Charge 3, or is Fitbit coming out with a chest strap in the near future? I’m asking because I’m finding the heart rate tracking to be quite inaccurate. I’ve read all the forums and tried the different wrist band locations, dominant and non dominant hand etc. 

Dont get me wrong, I like the charge 3 and the features it comes with, however I’m looking for more accurate heart rate readings for my training sessions.

Hi, @Buddha22! There are no heart rate chest straps that are currently compatible (sync) with Fitbit. As far as I know, there aren't any plans for this, but you never know! Fitbit might come out with one.

A warm welcome to the Community @Buddha22 and @MakMak thansk for the input.

 

As our friend mentioned, there isn't an option to sync a chest strap with a Fitbit device. You can check the Pair Fitbit devices with other sensors like chest strap HR, foot pods, power request, vote for it and leave your comment.

 

Catch you later. Robot Happy

 This is what I mean by highly inaccurate. Treadmill was set to 2% incline and 8 speed for the whole duration and that is the reading the charge 3 spat out at me.
