It just shouldn't be this hard, guys.
Device doesn't sync on command. Regularly have to restart the device or my phone to get it to recognize again.
Clock faces are lame and no longer feature the date. I don't need my pulse on the front screen. No other option.
Half the stats are dimmer than others (and before you ask, yes, I did try both auto and manual brightness) and difficult to see.
Screen regularly freezes and is unresponsive to touch.
Workout timer stops mid workout, due to overly sensitive touchscreen (should be 'button press to wake' during workout, but my long sleeve shirt brushing against it is enough stop the time or change the screen), so I lose my time or mileage count.
I was so excited to get this newer version. I had the Charge 2 for almost two years and despite the cracked screen, it served me well. Was looking forward to being able to track my swims and use the real touch screen, but at this point, without some serious updates, the new device is garbage.
