The Fitbit Charge 3 health tracker is on preorder now. Check out what you get for the $150 price tag.
If you already own a Fitbit Charge, the first thing you’ll notice about the Fitbit Charge 3 is the larger touchscreen on a slimmer profile. It’s 40 percent bigger. But that doesn’t mean it’ll weigh down your wrist. A high-grade aluminum makeup means it’s also 20 percent lighter — and touted as more durable thanks Gorilla Glass over the screen.
The second-biggest boost in the Charge 3 is inside — a better battery. This latest one is supposed to last an entire week, which is huge. One of the most frustrating things about any tracking device is remembering to recharge it on the daily.
The Charge 3 also navigates easier, allowing you to quickly swipe between apps and press a big sensor button on the side of the watch. A backlit display auto-adjusts depending on what type of light you’re working out in. The Charge 3 is also “swim-proof,” which means you can submerge it longer if you need to. It’s touted as water resistant up to 50 meters.
