I also liked the small footprint and lightweight design - when you wear it you don’t notice or feel it.
- tracking accuracy
- comfortable, even to sleep with
- simple, easy to use
- battery life (I get a bit over a week with notifications disabled and screen off)
- 3rd party straps work well
The bad:
- app for iOS is not very responsive
- syncing is slow
- ugly clock faces
- no developer sdk for Charge 6's OS
- no way to disable certain activity types
- no floor climbing count
I still enjoy the watch even with the bad items listed above.
Pros:
Advanced health and fitness tracking: The Charge 6 offers a comprehensive suite of tracking features, including heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, step counting, activity tracking, and more.
Built-in GPS: The integrated GPS allows you to track your runs and workouts outdoors, providing accurate distance and pace data.
Stress management tools: The Charge 6 includes stress management tools like a stress score and guided breathing exercises to help you manage your stress levels.
Sleep tracking: The sleep tracking feature is particularly noteworthy, providing detailed insights into your sleep stages and quality.
Pro tip: For even more accurate step counting, try wearing the Charge 6 on your ankle.
Cons:
Limited battery life: The Charge 6's battery life is a major drawback. A full charge only lasts about 2 days (48 hours).
Overall, the Fitbit Charge 6 is a great option for those looking for a comprehensive fitness tracker with advanced health and fitness features. Its sleep tracking and step counting are particularly accurate, and the built-in GPS is a valuable addition. However, the limited battery life is a significant drawback that should be considered before purchasing.
I purchased a Charge 5 earlier this year & had been very happy with it. Most important to me was the logging heartrate monitor, which works very well. A big bonus was the sleep logging, which also works very well. The Charge 6 still does these things well, but I can't see a reason to justify recommending it over the 5 (both go on discount, & the 5 is generally cheaper).
I'd also been glad to see that the 5 monitors SpO2 while asleep. Unfortunately, it won't do this while the person wearing it is awake (why they don't think that's an important enough feature to add, I don't know), and my hope that the 6 might support this was unfounded -- it appears to have the same drawback.
I've never owned a "smart watch" & the 5 was my first-ever fitness tracker. I wasn't expecting to have to own a current smartphone (I'd been using an old iPhone 4S for years, but it was too old to work with the Fitbit app, so I had to buy a new Android phone that supports it) just in order to use the thing (it literally will not do anything other than ask you to register it with your app if you don't have it connected to a proper smartphone w/ the app running). It was a good excuse for me to update my phone (something I'd needed to do for a while, but might be something to think about -- could be a dealbreaker for some) & the added functionality of it allowing for app notifications was huge. I didn't think I could get a vibration on my wrist every time I got a message, or for an event I had scheduled to be reminded of, etc. That added a lot of convenience to my life.
Now the huge downside -- Google effectively broke the software over the last few months. They bought Fitbit, overhauled the app & account system, pushed some firmware updates that are kind of janky, and now there are lots of people with non-working Charge 5s. Some are bricked -- I was lucky enough that my Charge 5 kept working, but my app notifications stopped functioning correctly. I've spent weeks going through their troubleshooting guides, doing things that are recommended to fix it, to no avail. I can no longer get notifications on my Charge 5 that I was able to just a couple of short months ago, & I paid ~$150 (Canadian dollars) for maybe 7 months of use before this functionality broke.
I saw the Charge 6 on sale for ~$150 (Canadian dollars) & I thought that "perhaps the app notification issue is just on the 5 -- if I try this new model, maybe I'll have that feature back." No such luck. It's still broken, and checking the forum, I see that many others have had the same problem for months across both models. It doesn't sound like Google's got too much of a priority on fixing it (why, I don't know), as the last time they posted anything about firmware was back in July. There are very few offers for technical support to the users, which is frustrating, given the size & profits of the company.
I will try posting about the issues on their forum & seeing if they can't help me sort it out on at least my end, but if that does not work, I will be returning the 6 and sticking with my 5. The few changes (YouTube Music, Google Maps directions, a screen magnifier, connecting to supported exercise machines) are not anything that I would use, and I don't think it's worth another ~$150 on top of the ~$150 I already spent this year to keep trying to use the features that they broke (and don't seem to be in a rush to fix). If you're in the market for a *new* fitness tracker, I'd say go ahead and get this one if it's on sale lower than the 5, but, as of right now, I cannot recommend it as an upgrade to Charge 5 users or as a new tracker to anyone who would be paying full price for it. If I choose to upgrade, I'm considering the Sense, instead (the Charge is already the best of their tracker lineup, a 7 probably won't be around for a very long time, the 6 just doesn't seem considerably different than the 5, & the Versa seems to have less features).

Some of the things I don't like about it, is that 1) One reason I have it is to track my heart rate. I have some tachycardia (racing heart rate). I can be sitting in a chair and have my heart beating at 110 bpm. This is NOT good! But Fitbit will tell me that I'm doing GREAT by keeping my heart racing! Good thing I know better!!!! 2) Also, when it is giving credit for "exercise", it does not consider walking an exercise. At least not when it is automatically detected. You have to enter it manually for it to count as "exercise". 3) I hate that there is no option for "Calisthenics" on the watch (only in the app - IF you search for it). 4) I've tried to use google maps and youtube music, but all it says is to "start the app on your phone", which does absolutely nothing.
I thought that I wouldn't like the loop feature of the band, and that it would be uncomfortable... but I really like it. I liked my original better than the 4, but I like the 6 better than both. :D
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.
