The fitbit killer
My wife and I have been fitbit fans since the Charge 2 (2016).  Before the google purchase, fitbit was a strong leader in lower cost fitness trackers.  It did concern us that our fitbits would die frequently (nearly each one we had died within a year from the Charge 2, 3, 4). However after talking with customer service they would send us replacement.  So, ok, we can deal with that.  (Even though in the past few years you had to provide a ton of documentation including, IIRC, your drivers license.)I had a fitbit 6 that I got for Christmas 2024.  Wow, a color screen.  LOL.  I needed a replacement as the screen on my Charge 5 kept getting dimmer, and dimmer, to the point when I could not read it outdoors and barely indoors.  So I was gifted the Charge 6 and it was big step up.  But it took me a few months until I realized that the floors option was gone, not just not working, but removed, to make space for other features I could care less about.  So I looked around in late June and discovered the Fit 3.  So I bought one.  I am SO GLAD I did.  What do I need?  Step counter, heart rate, floors, distance, calories.  Oh, and the kicker for me was AIRPLANE MODE.  I study various energetic sciences including BioGeometry and the EMF coming from our devices is not benign.  I don’t wear a tracker to sleep, don’t want anything live, and keep my blue tooth turned off unless I am actively syncing.This is what I see comparing Fit 3 to Fitbit Charge 6.   What the Fit 3 has as an advantage:  Larger screen, airplane mode, beautiful faces, much cleaner UI on the watch and in the android app(s) (I am using this with a Pixel 7 phone).  The ability to sync only turning on bluetooth.  A few years ago fitbit/google basically said we aren’t syncing your fitbit unless you have both location/GPS and bluetooth turned on.  Sometimes you could get the fitbit to sync with location off but this was tricky/spotty.What advantages did the Charge 6 have for me, personally.   None really.  It cost about 3x the amount for the Charge 6 compared to the Fit 3.  That’s ridiculous.In a head to head comparsion of measurements this is what I see.   Fitbit Charge is often slower to start your step counts and the Fit 3 is quicker on that.  So you steps counts are going to go up and perhaps the Fit 3 does count some arm motions as steps when it should not.  But the Fit 3 is still very close (within 1-3%) with the Charge 6.  The Fit 3 tends to undercount calories compared to the Charge 6, I can’t tell which is more accurate.  On the Charge 6 bluetooth syncing was always a laborious pain taking sometimes minutes to get the past few days of data and often having to turn bluetooth off/on and/or restarts to get it to sync.  The Fit 3 is very fast *most* of the time.  I did have one instance where the Fit 3 was not syncing in the Health App and I had to open the Wearable app and trigger a sync from there, which worked.The big thing is battery life.  I have automatic activity tracking turned on and except when syncing in the evening I keep it on airplane mode.  I charged it overnight last Thursday/Friday before I first put it on.  It’s now Wednesday evening, nearing 6 complete days of use and my battery level is at 55%.  That frugal energy use is really good and is on par with the earlier monochrome fitbits.I am very pleased with my Fit 3 purchase.  Back in the early to mid 2000’s I was very excited about Timex was doing just in digital watches (Iron Man, etc).  The Fit 3 harkens back to those kind of days for me when you could get a very full functionality wrist device that looked good, worked great, and was a good deal.  This is definitely worth a close look if you don’t need an higher priced fitness/communication device that is emitting EMFs into your pericardium meridian 24×7.  Well done.

BEST SIMPLISTIC WATCH
I wish I could give this watch MORE than 5 stars. If you’re looking for a simplistic watch for notifications and tracking purposes, GET THIS WATCH. I was sceptical because of the price, but after trying several other smart watches (specifically Samsung), this somehow is the best watch. I love this watch because of the accuracy for my steps (once calibrated) and simple notifications. I can’t believe how well this thing worked for me. The battery life is amazing. I get about 5 days of pretty heavy use (fitness tracking, sleep tracking & notifications).

I like it after being a FitBit 6 user for a short period of time
This product is exactly what I wanted in terms of convenience, getting the necessary information: bpm, steps, sleep-snoring tracking, and time. Big informative screen, ease of sinchronization with the smartphone, longer battery lifetime. So then when I got my Galaxy Fit 3, on the contrast with FitBit6 I had before, the first thought I had was: that’s what I need – I like it!Before purchasing Galaxy Fit 3 I tried to use Fitbit Charge 6. More features, more preciseness, more advanced – I thought. But actually, I’ve got problems with synchronization with app on smartphone, display auto-on only in 50% cases, smaller display and contrintuitive user interface, smaller battery lifetime – all of that for the price 2 times more that Galaxy Fit 3.

Muy padre, bonita y funcional. Le regale uno a mi esposa y también le encantó, no tuvimos problemas de conexión.

Absolutely Awesome, so easy to set up. Yes, the battery lasts forever. 14 days for my first go around.

Perfect size, function, design, price… everything is so so good. I’m gonna recommend 10000% much betterthanfitbit, thank you so much SAMSUNG &AMAZON 🙏 God bless you!!!
