You can place it correctly (haptic button on the outside, face NOT upside-down) - there's no restriction for either left or right-handed use. If the problem resides in a bracelet clasps - just switch the sides, they're easily detached.

Could we have the option to rotate the screen so the button can be on the right, for those of us that wear our charge 3 on our left wrist?

Kind Regards,

I tried that but when I do that it reads upside down

Best Answer

Charge 3 screen does not rotate - it's fixed.... meaning you can always find position it should be on the hand. That's the reason I don't quite understand upside down issue - can easily place mine on either hand and read it correctly. How does your screen behave when you turn tracker upside down and back?

Best practice is to wear it on your non-dominant hand, so if you're left handed, you should wear it on your right wrist; therefore the button will be on the outside and the face will be the right way round.

It doesn’t switch when I change from left to right

I have the same problem!!! No one understands the annoying struggles.

My Fitbit has the controls on the left so the display reads from top to bottom on my left arm. However, If I want the controls on the right to put it on my left arm the screen reads upside down.  Tried all methods without success.

I have the same issue. I wear it on my right wrist but it is very hard to get it to function. I swamped the wrist band so that the function button on the side is elbow side not hand side (like when a right handed person wears it) but then the screen is upside down.

I don´t understand the problem. I am a right handed person but I wear it on my right wrist because I always liked wearing my watches on my right wrist. I have the function button on hand side (outside) and I have no problem to get it to function.

When you wear it on the right, the button gets accidentally pushed with upward movement of hand which does long press on haptic button. Everything is upside down when it's on the right wrist. 

You must be right-handed since you're clearly unable to see the issue.
