There’s a surprising number of new features and functions here, including some not yet seen on other units (even their higher-end units). While this is not a review (that’ll come later), I’ve had a bit of time to get hands-on with the unit and can dive into all the new bits. And while it’s still an activity tracker at its core, you’re seeing the gradual transition of not just Fitbit but other companies as well, into eventually making FDA approved medical devices. Last week that changed though, with the Fitbit Charge 3. The Charge 2 might as well be a Fred Flintstone watch at this point. Thus despite all attention on the top-end Ionic and Versa units over the past year, there hasn’t been an update of the Charge lineup since 2016 – an eternity in consumer and wearable tech gear. Having sold over 35 million units amongst the various versions, it accounts for the bulk of their sales.

No matter how you slice it, the Fitbit Charge series is Fitbit’s leading line to date.

The Charge 3 being a high-end smartband comes with NFC that supports Fitbit Pay – a non-contactless payment system that lets you make payment on the go directly from the device. The Charge 3 comes with an accelerometer, altimeter, SpO2, and heart rate sensor, these enable it to track your steps, climbing, sleep stages, calories, and continuous heart rate monitoring that can help you train more productively.
