Charge 6 Fitness Tracker with Google apps, Heart Rate on Exercise Equipment, 6-Months Premium Membership Included, GPS, Health Tools and More, Porcelain/Silver, One Size (S & L 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.

Purchased this at the start of the year to help me keep track of some of my health goals. I love that the bands are adjustable. It does well to track the items I am focusing on, with options to track more, if desired. The finish on the band wears after awhile, but does not change the usefulness or wearability of the tracker. One charge lasts about a week. It will shut off and stop tracking items once it get down too low on battery percentage (varied between 5-7%), so be prepared. I have not tested whether the item is waterproof, so I am unable to comment of the effectiveness of that.

I got the Fitbit Charge6 from Amazon. 7 months down the line the device is bricked. Touch won't respond. Reached out to Fitbit support, their response "The warranty covers Fitbit products purchased directly from fitbit.com or an authorized retailer. We advise contacting the seller from whom you purchased the product for further assistance." Does it mean amazon is not an authorized seller? - Very poor customer service. Then i reached out to customer support via the product support page on Amazon, they tried to debug/fix. Then issued an RMA when they were not able to fix, updating the review for the customer service. Below is my opinion with the device as such. There are things i like/don't , most of these are my individual personal preferences. This is my first fitness tracker, i have not compared it with other devices. Right off the bat, i was not comfortable with the band that came with it. I switched it with different one (in the pic) - personal preference. Integration with other health apps worked fine. Battery lasted a week for me, my screen was set to off always and i kept the bluetooth on for only few hours a day. The collection of watch faces are not impressive. The app on the phone is pretty decent. I'm not into tracking the metrics in depth . Don't know how long these devices last. If it gets bricked or if you are facing any issue there are very little options to fix it. If you are new to getting to know the health numbers and tracking them, i started with this and i don't regret my choice.

I am a doctor of sports medicine and have been wearing some type of Fitbit for over 10 years. I was a professional athlete back then and it helped me dial in. I never stopped wearing one. This is my FOURTH type of Fitbit and I honestly think it is the best model yet. It fits PERFECTLY super lightweight and the band actually feels SOFT! IT looks professional. My last model, inspire, had a small face this one is sized perfectly.. I do NOT need to put my readers on! LOL! So far it has survived 20 hours of work which I bang it around. No scratches!! Very durable! Ok, now the set up. O MY GOSH! I am LOW TECH. This was the easiest set up ever! Now remember, I already had an old model. The last time I tried to transfer info and peer it with my phone it was a mess. This model just charge it near your cell phone, answer a few questions.. DONE! FAST AND EASY!! I know this is a long story, but these things are expensive and if you do not know what you need, it is very confusing. I already recommended this model to four of my patients and recommend it for you as well. If you are just beginning your health journey or a pro like me, this Fitbit is for you! Yours in health, Dr. Navarro

La pila dura varios dias, nada que reclamarle a este dispositivo, excelente

ممتازة

Good price although it's end of life item

Es un gran avance con relación a las primeras generaciones de Charges. Lo único que inexplicablemente no tiene es altímetro. Pero todo lo demás es de primera y a un costo con relación a otras marcas, realmente extraordinario.

I am enjoying this I purchased just for Google pay
