Able to confirm it's charging and having an actual button

Hello there - I am trying very hard to like my Fitbit Charge 3, but there are 2 clear enhancements that would REALLY help the next version when it eventually comes out:

 

1 - Clearly confirm that the charging pins are lined up on the charge:  Every time I put the device on the charger, I have to fiddle with it, guess and hope that the 3 gold dots on the back of the device are aligned to the 2 charging pins on the charger.  And after or minute or two of patience the screen usually confirms that the connection is sound and it begins charging.  It would be very very helpful for you to be able to 100% tell that the connection is good, without having to rely on the screen.  It just shouldn't be this hard to get it attached to the charger each and every time.

 

2 - The button on the side should actually be a button 🙂  Again, you shouldn't have the guess that you are pushing the button correctly.  It should be easy and simple to just push the button.

 

If the next version that comes out has these features and is easier to use, then I'll buy it and become a very passionate advocate.  If not, I'll need to find something easier to use on a day to day basis.  

 

Thanks!
