You have to link it with a device, be it a PC running Windows 10, an iPhone or iPad, or an Android phone.

Hi there @geneb2020, welcome to the Community Forums. 

 

As @SkullBurner said, if you don't have to use a computer you can set up your Charge 3 with a compatible device. You can see the list at: Which phones and tablets can I use with my Fitbit watch or tracker?

 

Please keep in mind that when a device is not supported we cannot guarantee its functionality with the Fitbit app. It might work at a certain time and then it can stop working out of nowhere after an update. This is because the app is not optimized to that device and any change could impact the performance. 

 

To get more information about the synchronization process, I'd recommended to take a look at the article: How do Fitbit devices sync their data? 

 

Let us know if you have any questions present.
