Charge 6 Fitness Tracker with Google Apps - Heart Rate on Exercise Equipment - 3-Month Google Health Premium Membership Included - Health Tools - Gold/Coral - Small&Large Bands Included

Bought January 2024. So, I have had an Apple Watch since 2017. I LOVED it. But I didn’t love the battery time. The things I was interested in, like sleep tracking, I couldn’t do because it needed to charge or I couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 can’t be sized as you lose weight. So I researched and found the Fitbit Charge 6 was my best choice. Mostly pro’s. It is really comfortable. When I fell asleep accidentally with the Apple Watch my wrist was sore after. So far, I’m getting 6-7 days of charge out of it, which is a game changer. I now don’t miss days of tracking because I forgot to charge it. I feel like the screen size is appropriate and it’s well made. I’m not sure about the accuracy, but reviews I’ve watched where people test them they seem close enough. And that’s good enough for me, I want a baseline. You can adjust the haptics for notifications, I have it on the hardest vibration and it’s awesome. It’s easy to read the screen, just 2 taps. It says you can water lock it for swimming/shower but I haven’t 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). I’m sure I’m forgetting something. I haven’t 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. It’s Just an adjustment from my Apple Watch. I’m also not able to sync it with Apple Maps because I hate Google maps. And I haven’t 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 wasn’t. 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 you’ve 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. It’s 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. I’m not missing them other than Apple Maps and Music.

The Fitbit charge 6 fail to work after 2 years and about 7 months. I have had other Fitbit products that last a lot longer.

A family member had recently raved about her FitBit and I had a very old Apple Watch which needed replacing (due to terrible battery life) so I was convinced to give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience has been quite awful and I want others to be informed before they buy. My main reasons for using a smart watch are the health functions such as exercise logging, step counting, heart rate etc. So if these things are important to you please read further: 1st disappointment: Inability to sync FitBit to Fitness app on iPhone. I had a pretty impressive streak in my Fitness app and it was a huge motivator for me to exercise daily (something I have always struggled with). It was QUITE the blow to see all my progress completely wiped away. (No more 200+day streak for me! I guess). Fitbit does have a free app to collect new data but I’m still disappointed that they cannot combine all your progress from both somehow. 2nd disappointment: SEVERE Inaccuracy on distance. I head to the gym for my first workout with the Fitbit. I get on the elliptical and select the “elliptical workout” option on the watch and press start. As I’m warming up I notice the watch does little vibrations as my heart rate increases to different levels “light” “moderate” and then “vigorous” - which I think is a nice touch. When I get 1 Mile (on the machine) into my run I decide to check my progress (on the watch) but to my HORROR it says only 0.3 miles… How did it miss 70% of my workout!?! I cannot express how devastated I was to see that. I’m working so hard to change my life and watching the miles stack up day after day is my only reward so far. I’ve done lots of googling to solve this problem and tried manually adjusting the stride length to every length there was but nothing fixes it and I’ve read plenty from other people who report the same exact problem so I’m convinced it’s just their terrible calibration. 3rd disappointment: Major exaggeration of calories burned. As I mentioned I have an Apple Watch I used every day for quite some time. I am very familiar with my typical calories burned daily. I also follow the amount on my exercise equipment as well. For some reason the FitBit consistently shows an abnormally high number for calories burned. For instance something that should burn about 200 calories suddenly burns 2 THOUSAND…?? This all makes EVEN LESS sense when you consider the aforementioned distance tracking issue; claiming I burned 2,000 calories by running 0.3 miles??? Ridiculous. This combination of discouragement from the “it won’t matter anyway” distance tracking, to the absurd number of calories I’ve “already burned” today is a recipe for disaster for me. Un-motivating my workouts and encouraging my laziness. Please DO NOT rely on this watch for your health goals. The final straw for me is the terrible battery life. To be completely clear - I have had this device for 4 days and I have already charged it 4 times. So please do not be mislead by claims of charging “once a week” or “once every other week”. NOT true. And, yes, I’ve tried all the different display settings. I hope someone takes the time to read this like I did not do. If Amazon returns weren’t such a headache I would’ve sent it back after that first workout. I’m actually stunned at HOW awful it is. There are many more issues I did not get into because they are mainly aesthetic and I wanted to focus on the ones that could genuinely cause someone harm but I’d be glad to elaborate on those other issues as well if anyone is curious.

I had an Apple Watch for years, but hated the price point, especially since they haven't been lasting as long and the battery life is not great. I had a Fitbit years ago and I liked them but this was prior to Google buying them out. After the Apple Watch came out I ended up buying that going forth. I ended up giving this a try and honestly, no regrets!!! Bye Apple watch! Pros: -slim, sleek design -battery life -6 months free of the premium app for Fitbit. I may end up keeping it -ease of use, easy to find steps, and other monitoring -less distractions than other trackers. I felt like I always turned off my notifications on my Apple watch but was getting bombarded with notifications still. Felt like I always had my phone on my wrist with the Apple Watch which was distracting. This is very simple and less distracting. -Not accidentally hitting Siri every 5 seconds with the buttons. Very slim button on side -Price point -Not overwhelming with data -Minimal notifications such as text/call. Can delete apps that are powered with Fitbit. I deleted Youtube Music since I won't use it (didn't really like music feature on Apple Watch because it was glitchy). Cons: -Maps: The watch doesn't use Apple because it is part of the Google ecosystem so it only allows for Google Maps. I don't mind Google Maps but I usually use Apple Maps due to my phone. Other than that, only con!

The watch works fine, all of the features it offers works perfectly. It’s even compatible with IOS, so I didn’t have to worry about spending $600 for the tiny apple watch. I mainly bought the watch to check the time and for notifications without having to pull out my phone at work, so I’m not really worried about the fitness stuff. However, I also bought it because it supports google and youtube music caught my eye since I have a membership with that and I didn’t see any other watch that supported it. But don’t get too excited, it doesn’t work. I’ve tried and troubleshooted all that I could but can’t get it to connect for some reason. And good luck looking for help, apparently the fitbit support are better of being bots. Good watch but don’t spend your money on youtube music premium. I can control my music with my headphones and phone just fine.

I love my Fitbit 6 Charge. The new version 6 has the option of 3 taps to enlarge tiny text messages when you don't have your glasses on. The 6 Charge has the quick home side button to immediately get to the time. Very nice improvement. I bought my new Charge 6 because I thought I lost my 2023 Charge 5. Nope I found my old one in a pocket that went through the washer and dryer, completely unharmed!!! Gave it to my adult daughter who hated her expensive Apple watch. I love the slim profile and easy functionality of the Charge trackers. I rarely wear my nice jewelry watches and hate the large circle and square phone watches. This is the perfect everyday watch with good tracker features at a decent price. They can take accidental abuse. I bought my mother in law one as well as she was having some heart issues. The watch can be very useful for monitoring heart arrhythmia issues and pulse rates with your doctor.

Bought this for my wife. I really like the color, and it tracks various health metrics pretty well. Google could make the app a little more fun. It feels clinical and boring. Her watch arrived with zero charge, so I'm not sure how that might affect the battery life. It lasted around 6 days. It feels pretty comfortable.

At first I thought this Fitbit didn’t work. I got it mainly for the heart rate monitoring and wore it on my right wrist, but I kept getting dashes for the heart rate. I wear a traditional analog watch on my left wrist for the style and art of the dial and didn’t want to go with a smart watch. I tried switching wrists thinking maybe I would get a bit of reading where my skin was more conditioned from wearing a watch and it actually worked. I tried shaving the hair on my right wrist but still couldn’t get a reading. I did some research and finally discovered that a Fitbit (and a lot of smart watch watches) will not read through black ink tattoos, of which I have many. The only reason it was reading on my left wrist was because I didn’t get a tattoo where I was planning on wearing a watch. Nowhere in the listing did it say to avoid wearing it on the wrist with tattoos, but I figured I would switch and put my watch on my right wrist and where the Fitbit on my left but it feels really awkward. It is supposed to be worn about an inch above the wrist bone and while I could wear it down at the fold of the wrist, that would make it quite awkward and not very convenient considering I am in the medical field and have to wear gloves.During that time that I was trying it on the left wrist, though, it would recognize when I was exercising without me telling it. Specifically, I walk and do a rowing machine and it could tell the difference and it would buzz and ask me if I wanted to keep monitoring the activity, which I found very impressive. I found where others had worn them on the ankle, but I wear 8” tactical boots every day and I tried it but it was not comfortable. Ultimately I decided to return it and order a smart ring since I’ve got a couple of fingers that don’t have tattoos. It worked really well and I was digging the notifications and especially they sleep monitoring since it was reassuring to know that I got more sleep than I thought I was, but I really love my watches and don’t want to give them up. I would give it five stars, but the lack of information in the listing on tattoos and the fact that it can’t read through a tattoo is disappointing.

This is a fabulous tracker and with the new Google health app really informative would recommend
