Will Charge 3 have a Countdown Clock?

[DKUBISKE]

This may be the upgrade we are looking for IF the Charge 3 includes a Countdown timer. (Not just a stopwatch or alarm.)

[WendyB]

Looking at the Spec no it does not have as count down timer

[N8teGee]

We don't yet know for sure. Although one of the hands on reviews states the following

"Swipe left to see apps like Alarms, Exercise, Timer, Weather and Calendar, and swipe down to see your notifications."

Now whether that means Stopwatch, timer or both, we really can't say at this point. I would say it sounds promising though.

The manual is now available and confirms that there is a countdown timer. See page 27 of:

There is a countdown timer that worked fine until it didn't. Now it doesn't notify me when it hits zero which makes it useless!

[BrianBJ]

I can confirm that it has both timer and stopwatch. So far, both have worked fine 🙂

Thanks, could not find how to see stopwatch.... even in the manual it does not tell you to swipe left.

Does always on feature function during timer or countdown?

[Tonithetiger]

Yes it does have a countdown & stopwatch

[capers12]

Is there an always on feature with this that allows you to constantly visualize the countdowns while event is taking place or do you have to keep tapping the screen

[Tonithetiger]

the screen always goes blank no matter what so you have to keep tapping it whatever mode you're in

[EdsonFitbit]

@capers12 Welcome to the Fitbit Community.

Currently, like @Tonithetiger mentioned, after 4 seconds of activating the countdown, the display will go blank and it will be necessary touching the screen to see the time running.

You are welcome to make a request on the Feature Suggestion board which is constantly monitored by our team for future implementations.

Feel free to contact us back at any time.
