Hi
Thanks for the video
Do you know how to calibrate the step counter as mine is counting to many steps
well Finally someone who takes the time not to rush but show how it can be done in a nice relaxed pace!!! I get frustrated with the rush puppies! nice job and now mine is running after 2 weeks of looking for someone like you! Cheers!
I’m so glad my video helped you! Thanks so much for the kind words!
Exactly! Everyone wants to rush through!
I watched several videos before i came across yours. As a novice Fitbit user, yours was most helpful and i now know to change the exercises! Thank you!
This was a perfect video for me - as a digital import. Takes a step-by-step approach which more skilled users might find unnecessary - but for me it was just a perfect device to learn. Thank you so much - speech appropriate speed and tone - also enunciation was very clear. Everything about this video was just what I needed!!!!!
You’re very welcome and thank you for the kind words 😊
OMG!!! Thank you. Thank you. It is so simple when you know what to do and you made it simple. I spin and now it is my first exercise up - then walk etc. As is written below, thank you for taking the time to do these very clear instructions.
You are very welcome! And thank *you* for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot to me 😊
Thank you for the detailed setup and customization for my Fitbit Charge 3!!!
I've just got my Fitbit Charge 3 and I'm really excited to get to use it. I'm currently downloading the update and I really can't wait for it to finish. Thank you for your video.
You’re welcome!
My Charge 2 finally died, Charge 3 on its way. Are you happ with yours? Have seen so many negative reviews but I loved my Charge 2.
Thanks Kelsey for not being in such a hurry.
You’re welcome 😊
I just bought one a about 1:30 ago!!!!! I’ve been saving up for about 3 months and I finally got it can’t wait to set it up 😁😁😁
I'm new to fitbit. You did an awesome job from beginning to end of setting up the fitbit. Thanks so much for taking the time from your day to present this video. It's much appreciated. I watched many youtube videos, yours was by far the best detailed and easy to follow.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it and I’m so glad my video was helpful to you.
I agree. Your calm quiet approach was *just right*. By far the most helpful of all the vids I've watched. You demystified my Charge 3!
Thank you my girl.
Your time is really appreciated.
You are very welcome 😊
Thank you, best instructional video ever!!!! I am 57 years old and not tech savoy but you have made set up easy and understandable.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad my video helped you, and thank you for the kind words 😊
I just purchased one today, too.. your great on explaining things. Thanks👍
VERY helpful... I'm a novice at technology and your step-by-step instructions REALLY helped me! Thank you!
You’re very welcome, and I really appreciate you took the time (twice 😊) to let me know my video helped you.
I really appreciate the time you took to do this video. You did a great job walking us through the fit bit set up - better than most other videos on this topic. Thank you so much :)
You’re so welcome, and thank *you* for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. It helps me know the time it took me to make the video was worth it :)
@@wearablewhisperer It really was -and that''s so nice of you to say :)
I think this is GOOD VIDEO TOO!
@@bytelyfe9800 i agree, much better than the others i tried to watch!
Thank you for a very thorough and well paced tutorial. Most tutorials are too fast and too short with unnecessary loud music and camera acrobatics.
You're welcome and thank you for the compliment 😊
wow. I would never have found out half of the features without this video! wish all help videos were this good
Thank you for the kind words 😊
Thanks so much for this excellent video! I am a bit tech challenged but your clear directions helped me set up my new Fitbit Charge 3 easily.
You’re so welcome! 😊
This is a wonderful video and such a simple explanation on how to get started and use my Fitbit 3. Was trying to find answers for many things on the Fitbit community website and found myself getting very frustrated!! So glad I found you're video. Answered just about everything I needed to know. Great job!!! Thank you.

Might wanna change the speed to 1.25 or 1.5
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much, this was the best video. It was very easy to follow.
Just received my Fitbit Charge 3, for my birthday, so excited. Until I started to set it up. Then I found your amazing video!! Verbally clear and step by step. Thank you so much. I would like to know how to set up the sleep and keeping track of my water intake. Thank you! P.S. I subscribed too!
Edwina Marcotte have you found out how to reply to messages?
The water will show as cups. You tap when you drink one, nothing more than that.
Sorry, sleep is logged automatically. Wear it to bed and the app will show what stages of sleep you had and for how long.
Thank you I have found it in the video. Thank you very much!!
thank u beauty so much appreciated , am fairly new to fitbit and this made it easier ❤️
You’re very welcome. I’m so glad I could help 😊
I had no idea how to record a core class or yoga. I thought wow & here I just bought the Charge 3 & I can't even do a slow work out & get credit! lol I do Zumba & it recognizes that but not the other ones so, I finally learned after 5 months!! LOL THANKS again!!
They definitely don’t make it very clear how to change the default workouts. I’m so glad my video helped you! Better late than never 😊 thanks very much for taking the time to comment!
Thank you, that was a very clear demonstration
You’re welcome!
Thank you some much I really needed help and spent all day on it and still couldn't get it to work when I saw this video I did it in 5min and then waited for the set up. 😁😁😁😁😁

Super helpful. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you very much. I shared your video to my sister. :)
You’re very welcome! 😊
Omg I had no idea thats what Charge 3 did with the screen wake I was so confused. That is so useful I’m glad they have that because I had an Alta and it would always turn on in the middle of my sleep and I’d wake up (I’m a light sleeper)
Happy to help 😊
Really, I was helpful. Thanks.
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for your help !
Thanks a lot! It was a great help to set up my charge 3!
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much for the helpful video. On point!
You’re welcome!
Great Job on the video and TU on walking it through! If your update was in real-time that was around 6 min. I just got mine today (Jan 2020) which took about 15 minutes. And I have a pretty good download speed (150-234Mbps) so I'm thinking this was a bigger update. Just an FYI for others it may take longer ... etc. Mine is working and tracking ...
Great Video. Very Informative⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great review thx😄
Well done. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thank you. The video helped me a lot.

Thanks! 😊
Wonderful help
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much! It was very helpful. One thing I can't figure out is why I am not receiving notification when I have a text or message? The only way that I know is by my phone.

Thanks 😊
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thanks this helped!!
You’re welcome!
not to say but that was acctualy very helpful thank u.
You’re welcome 😊
I do not have a dashboard or any of those options at the bottom after I set up. Mine are Discover, Today, Community and Premium? Thank you Carma
Nice video! Is there a way to set up the Charge 3 to "Alert" you if your heart rate starts rising due to a possible anxiety attack? I cannot find any info on this.
I’ve just got another 3fitbit but having problems to now connect my new fit bit to my Fitbit app.
Thank you so much.
You're so welcome!
nice and simple , thank you. I'm still waiting. the watch has the white vertical line and my phone says update available at the top and update tracker at the bottom. I've tapped everthing on my phone , but it doesnt' change and the watch isn't changing that I can tell . any suggestions?
Great video..it helped with android too! Thanks ;)
You’re welcome! Glad to hear it helped with Android, too😊
Thank you so much
You’re so welcome
Say for instance I want to set up a Fitbit account but I’m under 15 will I still be able to setup my charge 3
You are the Best .
Thanks 😊
How do I sync my MyFitnessPal account to my Charge 3? Your help would be most appreciated! Thank you in advance.
It was a little bit long video but helpful. Thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you, nice work. How do I customize my daily step goal?
Ted Faulhaber On the Fitbit app, click the top left corner where your profile picture. Scroll down until you see a section that says ‘GOALS’. Underneath, it should say ‘Activity’. Click on it, and next to Steps it should say 10,000 steps. Click on it and then you can change it.
You're very welcome. I have a question about when you are loading your food. Could I ask you here?
Are you referring to using the Food Logging feature? If so, you can ask, but I don't personally use Fitbit's Food Logging feature (I use MyFitnessPal, free plan).
@@wearablewhisperer Hi thank you for the reply but I was able to figure it out!!
Hi.. not sure if u can help. Am trying to loose 750 pound a week. I load all my food intake. How does the calculation wrk.. for example today I burn 1500 cal and ate 584 cal but then it say I got 338 in budget but 338 cal left and 584 Intake cal Equal to 922. I was aiming for 1'200 cal a day intake
The exercise config was useful, thanks
You’re welcome.
Will the fitbit save your heart rate information to download at a later time to your app for graphing? or..do you have to have the phone with you to save this information while you are working out.
It should save it for up to 7 days. You don't have to have your phone with your while you are working out.
I started the process with my new FBC3. All went as with yours but then I accidentally closed down the app on my phone. When I opened up the app again my progress thing can’t be seen anywhere. Not sure if is all still happening. Any help ideas for me?
Really enjoyed your video on the Charge 3 mine doesn't track distance correctly when I have walk 10,000 steps it shows my distance to be almost 7 miles always heard 2,000 steps equals a mile
Your instructions are clear, but I am unable to connect bluetooth, have tried many ways to do this. had not problem with FB 2 BUT FBcharger 3 is a headache. any ideas that might work to get me started???
A lil stupid question but please help me. Does this device have to be connected to my phone all the time for my workout sessions to be synced or can I sync after connecting to my phone. I tend to leave my phone in my locker while I workout.
What happens to the recorded data in the device? Auto-delete?
Definitely not a stupid question. You can sync your workout to your phone after your workout. It does not have to be in range of your phone to record data. The device has memory storage for the data it collects and will transfer the data to your Fitbit app once it is able to complete a sync. If you fill up the data memory storage before a sync, that data is lost, but it can save up to 7 days of data before it starts to fill up. Hope that helps!
@@wearablewhisperer thanks. I'll get one now. And subscribe you. 😁
Thanks for subscribing! Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions once you get your device.
Hi! Can you make the background of the clock face a photo? Thanks
Can you change notifications from don’t allow to allow for gps and can you have heart monitor on when exercise riding on the app thanks Leslie
You can choose whether or not to receive notifications during exercise, but you choose this on the device, not from within the app. You can have heart rate monitoring on during exercise, but I don't think you can only have it on during exercise, unless you manually turn heart rate monitoring on before you exercise and off again after you exercise. And this is done on the device, in the device settings, not in the app.
Hello do you know if it works for open water swimming as I saw that you have to set a length of the pool?
It does not track open water swimming unfortunately. Garmin is the best brand for tracking open water swimming.
Thx
You’re welcome!
I enjoy rebounding. Is there any way to customize my Fitbit Charge 3 to record my activity on the mini-trampoline?
I just suggest selecting 'Workout'.
I'm trying to set up my new fitbit but it won't let me proceed because it indicates that the email address is taken by another account (which is me from my previous fitbit). How do I proceed?
How old is the charge 3 plus can you turn the brightness up
I understand that there is a way to set the fitbit Charge 3 so that instead of tapping to see the time I roll my wrist. (according to the salesperson) but I haven't figured it out. Can you please guide me?
Hi !its me Irish, I have a short question , if I off the Bluetooth in my phone, do I still receive a notification in my watch?or I need to keep on all the time my Bluetooth in my phone so that i still receive a notification,in my watch from my phone , thank u
Hi Irish, That’s a great question. You need to have Bluetooth on in order to receive notifications from your phone on your watch.
How do I change the date on a second hand purchased firtbit3 charge please
Whispering hits the nail on the head. It would if you could crank up the volume of your microphone :)
Lol. Yes, I am soft spoken. I think I’ve done better with my newer videos. Thanks for the feedback 😊
Thanks for this tutorial - my Fitbit hasn't come up with a number to enter so I can pair it, unless when I first started to charge it the number came on screen and I didn't notice it! do you know how I can get this number?
Forget any current trackers in your blue tooth setting then, turn your blue tooth setting OFF and then back on. It should pop up.
@@giannab2302 Thanks Gianna, it worked and I managed to get the number. It's all working and connected now. Merry Christmas!
Hi. I have set my fitbit charge 3 to receive call and message notifications, I get a notification when I get a call and when I get WhatsApp message, but not when I get text message even though I have text message selected. X
My fitbit never got past the 'Pair your Tracker' part. It was connected but never did. msg said it's taking longer, please be patient. We're on it!' but 15 mins later had not finished that part. :(
Do any of the clock faces show battery. On the app on my versa it always is much higher than the app shows on my phone.
None of the Charge 3 clock faces show battery, but you can swipe up from the clock face to see the battery percentage.
'Choose the gender you're most identified with'😂😂
Also this video was super helpful and simple thankss💯
Yep, they just set themselves up for a Class Action lawsuit ...
Fairly new at Fitbit. One of my dashboard tiles was preset to 4 days exercise per week. I changed it to 3 and lost the entire tile. How do I get it back on my dashboard screen?
On the dashboard screen, scroll down to the bottom and below the final tiles a button labeled “edit” should appear. Tap on that and it should reveal any and all hidden tiles. Hidden tiles should have a plus sign in the upper left corner. Tap on that to make it visible on your dashboard again. (These were iOS instructions so might be slightly different if you’re on android.)
can you install and set up the fitbit on a tablet?
