FitbitCharge 6 Fitness Tracker with Google apps, Heart Rate on Exercise Equipment, 6-Months Premium Membership Included, GPS, Health Tools and More, Gold/Coral, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

OK. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles one can find on top end Apple Watches, but frankly, I don’t need all that tech. I need a device that keeps track of my steps, calories, sleep, and calories. I don’t want or need a Dick Tracy wrist watch to answer my phone, play music and run a cardiograph. Especially given the price difference between a Fitbit Charge 6 and an Apple Watch. For those reasons, I’m a Fitbit person. To quote an old TV ad. Try it, you’ll like it.

I just got my charge 6 about a week ago, and but I already like it better than my charge 5. I appreciate that the bands are interchangeable as I have about a very color band. I also like that the battery life is displayed on the screen. Hopefully it will last longer than my charge 5. I’ll have to wait and see about that.

En general, estoy satisfecho con el Fitbit Charge 6. El dispositivo es preciso, cómodo y muy confiable como seguidor de salud. El monitoreo de ritmo cardíaco, sueño, niveles de estrés y actividad diaria es simplemente implacable: lo hace de forma constante y con excelente nivel de detalle.Sin embargo, hay un par de aspectos que podrían mejorar. La app, aunque muy completa, tiene un costo que puede sentirse elevado si quieres acceder a todas las funciones premium. También me gustaría más versatilidad a la hora de instalar aplicaciones o personalizar el dispositivo; se siente algo limitado en ese sentido comparado con otros smartwatches.Aun así, si tu prioridad es el seguimiento de salud y estado físico, el Charge 6 cumple con creces. Es una excelente herramienta para quienes buscan mantenerse al tanto de su bienestar con datos confiables.

Monday morning and charge is at 22%. Charge 5 never lasted this long!The watch arrived last Sunday. I charged it immediately. Today is Saturday and it is still at 44%. So many reviews complain about charge not lasting, but I'd say six days and still going strong is excellent charge retention!Also, I have worn it with four of my Charge 5 bands. Every one I've worn so far with it has held tightly. The only band that did come loose once is the band that it came with. Push bands firmly until they click.Bought to replace my Charge 5 that I purchased just under two years ago. Fortunately, I had purchased extended warranty, as the Charge 5 died two nights ago.Setup was much easier this time since I already have the app.I purchased warranty again. The old one was for three years. Now it's only two.I haven't checked my bands yet for fit. I have several and they are supposed to be compatible. I'll update on that.I love the style and size of this watch. The metal is not quite as gold as the Charge 5, but still close.

I have owned a fitbit in one form or another for the last 12 years. I'm a very careful person who doesn't do a lot of extreme activities--I need a device that holds a charge, counts my steps, tracks my goals, and monitors my sleep. I don't use the apps or greater smartwatch technology so my bar for performance is low: it needs to work. Sadly, after less than a month of ownership, the device has crashed and become unresponsive for no reason 4 separate times. In my case it looks like there's an issue with my battery or the battery sensor. Keeping the battery topped up doesn't stop the issue--my latest crash was today, less than 24 hours after the fitbit's latest charge. Searching the forums I found that this is a very common issue, and devices that don't start with it can develop it, and fitbit's response is to replace the devices...until they're out of warranty, then you're on your own. Since the device is within its amazon return window, I've decided to go that route and just get my money back instead of repair center tag with fitbit.This is the third fitbit model I've owned that showed troubling signs before it was 2 years old. My prior model was a Charge 5 which had the connectors break off making it unwearable. The model before that was a Charge 3 which developed the unfixable dead pixel display issue. This is especially troubling as I am very careful with my electronics and only perform low levels of exercise; typically I can keep electronics for years. I still own both of my original fitbits (One and Flex) which I used for years until I decided to ugprade for better features. So I'm very disappointed. I'm not interested in buying a new fitness tracker every 6-9 months.After this last experience on top of two failed devices, I'm switching to another company. I hate to lose the app I'm used to and the data I've accumulated, but I'd rather pay more and have a device that lasts than be expected to pay $150 yearly.As a final note, thanks to amazon for making returns so easy. It's apparently a real headache to work with fitbit to straight out return defective items instead of just a replacement.My first fitbit, the very basic Fitbit One, was a great device that lasted years, so when a friend was getting rid of their flex for a newer model, I upgraded. Both initial models worked great for me for years of constant use with no battery issues, and when I upgraded it was my choice. But everything started to go downhill when I picked up a Charge 3. After 2-3 years I noticed a lot of battery degradation and got the dreaded "dead pixel" screen issue. So I updated to a Charge 4.

My FB Charge 3 finally wouldn't take a charge any longer. I read the reviews on the FB Charge 6, which has many more updates than the Charge 3 like GPS, Heart rate, Sp02%, and more activity functions. The FB Charge 6 also has a much longer battery life before you have to charge the battery. The original price for the FB was $159.,but there was a deal for a FB with an orange red band for $119. I made the purchase and also purchased a flexible black metal band which will last longer and will not crack and break.The deal on this FB watch is deal breaker. Highly recommended. A+++

Love the side button to open screen. Thank you for adding the step counter back to this model. Love the fact that it tells me when I am receiving a call or text.

much better than earlier models. battery needs lees recharging so far. display is easier to read in bright daylight. i have had a fitbit tracker wearable now for over 7 and a half years. actually since christmas day 2017. i have also walked at least 12.2 miles tracked every day in a row as well. i am breaking 33,000 miles walked today. i started at age 65 and am now 73.
