I don't like the Charge 3

[ReturnofChorb]

Bought this recently to replace Charge 2. Charge 2 battery died of built in obsolescence. Dealers cant or won't replace. So I bought the nearest equivalent, C3. I might as well have bought a different brand altogether. The functions are a lot less straightforward, no doubt this an "improvement". It's not. I'm going to see if I can buy a second hand Charge 2. Anyone want to buy a Charge 3.

Your posts doesn't really provide any specifics about what you don't like other than it is "different" than the Charge 2. Of course it is, it is a newer model. What specifically are you having difficulty with?

I've purchased both my Charge 2 & 3 from QVC and they take care of me.  Anything I've ever bought it returnable in 30 days. Now if you wait...? But if the product is defective they've refunded or replaced something almost for the lifetime of the piece. AND IT WAS between $50-100.00 cheaper than online or even a store.

How long did you have And Use the 3? Because they just came out a few years or so ago. And thus "built-in obsolescence" you refer to is a bit confusing because the (term usually used for automobiles) way it's used. Did the place where you purchased it TEST THE BATTERY? If they didn't then it's their responsibility to find out why the battery died at provide you with a replacement piece. If it's still under warranty.

Me too.  It doesn't seem that anything on it works as it's supposed to.  If I get to close to my laptop, the bluetooth disconnects from my iphone - if I'm ever lucky enough to have it be connected in the first place.  I don't like having to turn off my laptop's bluetooth just to get the Charge 3 to reconnect to the iphone.  The swiping is a nuisance  - sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't - with the Charge2 button, didn't need to take off gloves to use it.  Notifications - sometimes they come thru, sometimes they don't, even after I've confirmed that the Charge 3 is connected to the iphone.

They suck altogether.
