Charge it up!

As a frequent traveler, I am always dependent on my tracker to monitor how much walking I’ve done.

I was recently delighted when I learned that tracker brand Fitbit launched the latest version of its best-selling Charge series, the Fitbit Charge 3.

The brand’s smartest tracker yet, the Fitbit Charge 3 is equipped with amazing new features such as expanded smartphone notifications, real-time exercise goal tracking, and Quick Replies (on Android only). Not only does it have a durable, lightweight design, its battery life lasts up to seven days. Best of all, it’s swim-proof for up to 50 meters and  each swim stroke is actually counted as a step!

Senior sales training manager for Southeast Asia WT Soh explained the unique features of the latest tracker and emphasized his company’s commitment to continuously improving the brand.

Fitness trainer to the stars Bok Santos, one of the lucky few who tried the Fitbit Charge 3 before it was officially available in the Philippines, also spoke about his experience using this cool, new product.

 (The Fitbit Charge 3 is now available at Digital Walker, Beyond the Box, iBook, Timeline, The Inboxstore, iLiberty, Globe Telecom, Proton, Mobile 1, Banana Telecom, iCenter Cebu, Ambassador, Abenson, Lazada, Zalora and Shoplite.)
