Many features — packed into a small package
I received this watch as a gift about 6 months ago. I’m giving it 5 stars, because I love the sleep tracking features, and the smart wake. I also exercise by walking. This morning I went out on a stroll and it tracked every step of my 2 mile hike. It was an urban hike. I reached my target heart rate by the time I looped around. I didn’t know that it was 2 miles until today.From what I read, it doesn’t work so well with an iPhone. I have a Pixel 6, which runs Android, and I haven’t had any issues. The one thing I don’t understand is that some people have been reviewing it at a lower overall rating than I was expecting. I think it may have something to do with wrist size. I have the band at the largest setting, and it sits a bit loosely on the back of my wrist. I have never had any problems getting the sensors to work at that level of tightness (well, looseness). It does come with two different sizes of bands, so you may want to try both, if you have a medium to small wrist size.I have never had any quality issues with the watch. I love the sleep tracker. It tracks down to the nearest minute, and with the Fitbit app, you can see how much waking time, REM, light sleep, and deep sleep. I need it the most to figure out when I was sleeping, and the quality of my sleep. I have no issues with it, at all.I almost gave it 4 stars, because it has a small and narrow screen, and in order to use some of the features, you have to scroll. up, down, left, right, and multiple screens. I don’t need most of these features, but they are nice to have. I learned that I have a normal sinus heart rhythm, and I’m not overly stressed.Anyhow, I could write more, but you get the picture. You should probably read some of the reviews, to get a better impression (not just 5-star ones).Good luck!

Replaced my Apple Watch with Charge 6, happy
Bought January 2024. So, I have had an Apple Watch since 2017. I LOVED it. But I didnât love the battery time. The things I was interested in, like sleep tracking, I couldnât do because it needed to charge or I couldnât use it the next day. My mom has a Fitbit and for years was telling me to get one. After some health issues, I needed to start being more cognizant of my health. I didnât want to spend another $5-600 on an Apple Watch that at most gets 2 days of battery now. I was interested in the Oura ring, but I have 60 lbs. to lose and those canât be sized as you lose weight. So I researched and found the Fitbit Charge 6 was my best choice.Mostly proâs. It is really comfortable. When I fell asleep accidentally with the Apple Watch my wrist was sore after. So far, Iâm getting 6-7 days of charge out of it, which is a game changer. I now donât miss days of tracking because I forgot to charge it.I feel like the screen size is appropriate and itâs well made. Iâm not sure about the accuracy, but reviews Iâve watched where people test them they seem close enough. And thatâs good enough for me, I want a baseline.You can adjust the haptics for notifications, I have it on the hardest vibration and itâs awesome. Itâs easy to read the screen, just 2 taps. It says you can water lock it for swimming/shower but I havenât utilized that yet.The app⦠okay so when I purchased this (January 2024) they offered the premium app for 6 months free, then $80 a year. I will be keeping the premium. It still can be used without, but I want ALL the metrics you can get as well as meditations and workouts. It has replaced MyFitnessPal because I can track everything in this app. It also links with my Bluetooth scale. You can track steps, miles, calories, exercise, activity minutes (150 minutes a week as recommended), standing activity by getting up every hour for 250 steps, (it reminds you). SpO2, HRV, skin temp., HR, sleep (including stages). Iâm sure Iâm forgetting something. I havenât used the GPS function which I heard drains the battery significantly.Somewhat cons, or things I would appreciate it having. This device is logged in through Google. I do see messages and notifications from my iPhone 13, but are unable to respond which is fine. You can control YouTube music, but not your Apple Music. Itâs Just an adjustment from my Apple Watch. Iâm also not able to sync it with Apple Maps because I hate Google maps. And I havenât figured out how to use that between my phone and the Fitbit yet even after watching tutorials. I wish they had more watch faces to choose from, I think there was about 12?. I just felt like the one I picked was as close to what I wanted, but it wasnât. The time takes up a large portion of the screen which I feel like is unnecessary. What I feel the app is lacking is something to track when youâve taken your meds. If they did, this app would literally be a one stop shop for my health/fitness tracking. Note: a comment someone made about med tracking was just set an alarm. The problem is that if you are someone like me that is never at the same place everyday, you could turn the alarm off and then forget later whether or not you took them. Itâs a really quick fix they could do.I HIGHLY recommend the Charge 6, I wish I had listened to my mom and got it a while ago. The few things I gave up by switching from my Apple Watch is minor. Iâm not missing them other than Apple Maps and Music.

Good improvements over the Charge 5 but broken app
I upgraded from the Charge 5What I like about the Charge 6:- Great price- Sensors to track body activity are more accurate (I don’t have a way to test this but other people in YouTube have and these sensors are really good for a device at this price point with no chest strap)- Same great battery life. I get 6-7 days (I use normal brightness, do not use GPS, have sleep mode programmed, and keep the screen off unless I need to see it).- The home button to return to the time screen is great.- Triple tapping to zoom in is nice- When it works the Google Maps app is really nice. When you launch the phone app it kicks in automatically (need to set it up this way in your Fitbit app) otherwise you have to start the walk on the phone app and then manually connect to the app from your Charge 6. It tells you where to turn and it is nicer/safer than staring at your phone. The connectivity to the Phone app however is unreliable. Lots of retries and fiddling with the bluetooth settings to get it to work. Feels like a beta. I hope this is improved with a future upgrade. I have my Charge device set to 12 hr time format but this app shows 24 hr format at the top which to me is confusing and it may be a bug. I hope this is addressed in a future update.- More exercise modes and more settings/mode- The double tapping for water locking the device seems to work a little better to me than the Charge 5.- The unit’s vibration when alarm goes off seems to be more noticeable than in the Charge 5. Less likely to miss it.- Bluetooth integration with gym cardio workout machines is nice however I don’t have any equipment to test this. I read that there is an issue with the encryption that Google uses. Just be aware that unless you are at a gym that has bought very recent equipment, the machines aren’t likely to support bluetooth. Most hotels I workout in don’t have this either. I don’t really need this but some people may find it useful.What I don’t like:- If you are on iOS you still can’t reply to texts (I know there is an iOS security constraint that doesn’t allow this but come on Google…time to find a workaround)- Like the Charge 5 the GPS is terrible. It drains the battery and it is very inaccurate. I use my iPhone’s GPS tracking synced to my Charge 6 instead and it works great. If you don’t have your phone with you then you are out of luck.- The biggest disappointment is the YouTube Music app. Like the Google Maps it is a remote control for the phone app. I’m a YouTube Music subscriber so I was really looking forward to this but the connectivity to the phone app is very unreliable (like the Google Maps app). You can’t really see your music library, find an artist, and select Shuffle Play. All you can do is use the playback controls. (which I already have in Siri and on my Powerbeats pro earbuds), see a list of your recently played songs, and a couple of Google created playlists that I don’t care to use. I really hope that they improve it in future software upgrades.- Some exercise modes have an Auto Detect and Auto Stop feature. Basically this feature auto starts an exercise mode if the device detects that you are exercising. It sound good but in reality I found it to be more of a nuisance. The device can’t tell if I’m just in a hurry or warming up for a workout. If I’m in the middle of a workout and I slow down to catch my breath, the Charge 6 will ask me if I want to stop which means I’m forced to interact with the device when I don’t really want to. Luckily you can turn this feature off per mode.- When you reach a new target zone the Charge 6 displays the new target zone and the number like the Charge 5 however Google has changed the number/graphic and made it impossibly small to read without stopping and staring or triple tapping which are tedious while you are moving during your routine. I hope Google improves this in a future software update.- When the device is on exercise mode the screens shows the time at the very top. The Charge 5 I believe showed the total calories burned which is far more useful, Not sure why Google messed with this. If I need t know the time I can scroll to it during my workout or I can ask Siri.- I use the timer a lot…it is still limited to 1 hour.The phone app was cool until Google did a complete redesign which a lot of users are unhappy about.I use the app and the web portal to log my food consumption and my weight. IMHO any fitness tracker is worthless if you don’t track both. The app calories data is also broken. The calories left for the day count is incorrect compared to the web portal (there is a difference of hundreds of calories). This to me is unacceptable and It has been broken for months. Not sure what Google is waiting on to fix it. As a workaround if I need to see how many calories I can consume…I just look at the portal on a browser on my mac, iPad or iPhone..In spite of my dislikes overall I do like the Charge 6 and it is a nice upgrade specially for $100. The more accurate sensors are worth the upgrade. That said if you plan to upgrade because of the GPS or the YouTube Music app you may want to hold off.

This closer-to-60-than-50 obese guy with Type 2 diabetes gets a call from his doctor saying “I need to see you sooner than later”. My glucose levels are spiralling out of control. That triggered a need to get real data on what’s happening with my body, especially the perception that my sleep cycles are suffering. I NEEEDED DATA! This particular Fitbit product went above and beyond expectations in terms of bio-feedback, especially in terms of a detailed break-down my no-sleep, REM, light-sleep & deep sleep stages each and every night. The food intake recording system in the app is as good as the paid service that Weight Watchers offers with a HUGE library of both grocery store (barcode lookups) and restaurant-menu items. And I can record my glucose levels in the app too. This is a TOTAL SYSTEM that truly feeds a data-oriented mind with EVERYTHING they need. The Fitbit device itself is easy to use and has USEFUL tools inside of it: a get-up-and-move-around reminder, timer, exercise distance/time/burn tracking, an actual ECG recorder (VERY KOOL), alarm, and real-time steps, calorie burn, BLUETOOTH messages from your phone (texts, call indicator, reminders, etc) WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT – huge ROI ** IF ** you learn to use it and max out its features to inspire healthier behaviors. It won’t lose weight for you. It won’t correct your blood sugars for you. BUT it won’t lie to you either – figures don’t lie but liars figure, right? It comes with a free PREMIUM membership for a year giving you all kinds of additional resources such as vast library of workout, medication and wellness resources. YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED as long as you WORK IT!!! OH, and I’ve lost almost 10 pounds in 30 days WORKING IT – and I’ll share that it’s not because I exercised more. It’s because I had REAL and TRUE data that showed my calories IN was more than calories OUT. It’s my health dashboard now – just like in your car. I know when I’m going beyond the speed limit and I need to slow down or stop altogether.

Why did the Fitbit Charge 6 win me over?1) It holds a charge for a lot longer compared to any watch. I need to charge it only every 7 days or so (depending on which features you keep active) Compared to an Apple Watch that needs charging pretty much every day.2) And it charges back up quickly. Less 1.5 hours and youâre good to go for another 7 days.3) Its size. It is not bulky. I find the watches to feel a bit chunky on me. This is small and comfortable enough that I quickly came to not noticing that I am wearing it. I can sleep with it comfortably (and thatâs important for me as tracking my sleep is important to me)And it just looks more discrete on my arm.4) It gives me a lot of health information and easily tracks my running and other fitness without going overboard. Personally I do not need the extent of detail you would find with something like the Garmin.5) It is very user friendly. You donât need to be a super techy to operate. Itâs easy to sync with your phone right out of the box. Then I watched a couple great YouTube videos on the basics to learn even more about all the functions and features.The more I use this the more I like it. It has definitely helped me improved my health. Iâve learnt variables that affect my health that I didnât know about.Iâve not yet signed up for the free six months of the premium membership because I wanted to see what I get without it. You get loads without it!I wonât go in to all the functions here but take a look at them and see if it gives you what you want. If so, then I would definitely recommend this Charge 6.I find all the functions work well. Iâve not had any problems with any of them. Yes I am very happy with my purchase!

Moving from a series 3 Apple Watch the features here are quite extensive and at a quarter of the cost it is very good value

Unable to charge on the 1st day after purchasing. Sent back with RMA but still cannot charge after replacement. worst charging design ever on a smart watch. Buy with caution!

Great battery life with the nice and simple Fitbit app makes this a great watch. The health tracker is also pretty good for running, and biking, not so much for strength training as it’s not accurate at all. The sleep tracker is correct for a timeline of my sleep but don’t rely on it for sleep stage tracking. Definitely the fitness watch to get in it’s price range.
