Verdict

The Fitbit Charge 3 features a grayscale OLED touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3, 5ATM water resistance up to 50 meters, and a battery life lasting up to 7 days. Key characteristics include 24/7 PurePulse heart rate monitoring, an SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen tracking, and 15+ goal-based exercise modes. Its main pros are the lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum build, swim-proof design, and helpful sleep stage insights. However, it lacks built-in GPS, requiring a tethered phone connection for pace and distance, and its monochrome display may feel dated compared to color alternatives.
