I recently upgraded to the Fitbit Charge 6, and it has completely transformed my fitness journey. What sets this device apart is its seamless integration with my Peloton bike, creating a comprehensive workout experience like no other.
The Fitbit Charge 6 offers a multitude of features that have enhanced my daily fitness routine. From tracking my steps and heart rate to monitoring my sleep patterns, this device provides invaluable insights into my overall health and well-being. Its sleek design and comfortable fit make it easy to wear all day, ensuring that I never miss a beat in my quest for better health.
One of the standout features of the Fitbit Charge 6 is its compatibility with my Peloton bike. By syncing the two devices, I can effortlessly track my indoor cycling workouts and seamlessly record my progress in the Fitbit app. This integration not only keeps me motivated but also allows me to see the bigger picture of my fitness journey.
Overall, the Fitbit Charge 6 has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its intuitive features, combined with its ability to sync with my Peloton bike, have truly elevated my fitness experience. Whether I'm hitting the pavement or spinning in the saddle, this device is the perfect companion for achieving my health and fitness goals.
I also prefer the sleep tracking on this. It recognizes sleep automatically and reliably (including naps), which I could not trust the Apple watch to do, without manually activating "sleep" mode when going to bad. That also had effects on the phone, with how it handled notifications, which I didn't necessarily want.
And lastly I like that this doesn't take over my phone notifications. You *can* pass through notifications, but you can also limit it to certain apps, or turn them off altogether, which I've decided is what I like.
Two things I don't like: (1) there are incessant notifications generated *by* the watch (rather than passed through from the phone), tracking things like goal completion and "active zone minutes", and I've not figured out how to turn all of these off. The best fix is to put the watch into "sleep" mode, which will shut up those notifications (at the expense of needing to tap the face 3 times to wake up the display). (2) some tracking information in the app is locked behind a fairly pricey "premium" subscription, and I really dislike that. It's not clear to me how much I could still see without the subscription, since I'm on a 6 month free trial, but from what I read about the subscription it seems like there's a lot behind the paywall. You can lock your workout instruction videos and life coaching bs behind a paywall, I don't care, but you're not going to let me access the data you've collected *about me* without a subscription? What?! But I'll wait to get really angry until the free trial expires.
Update: the 6 month free trial has just expired, and I’m pleased to report that the app still functions largely the same, I still have access to very detailed records of activity, sleep and trends. The stuff that’s now locked behind the premium pay wall is stuff I wasn’t using in the first place, I wouldn’t pay any amount of money to add it back.

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.

For example, here are screenshots of exercise entered yesterday and today. You see the start and stop times - but after saving my entries, the app auto-adjusts some of the entries and it shows 0 duration, even though the start and stop times show the correct duration.
Also, for treadmill today, I entered 1.0 mile, starting 7:14am, 21m 25s, and after saving, the app changed the distance to 0.62 mile and 0 duration. Totally bizarre. What else is it doing wrong? Hard to feel any certainty about calories burned, other than I know over time what I usually burn when I am this active. I had to adjust the distance for Treadmill, from my actual 1.0 mile to 1.7 mile, just to get the app to count 1 mile - if this is AI, it is very disappointing, and annoying.
Also today, I did 5 minutes Elliptical and entered it, and that keeps disappearing. Then suddenly switches and renames the Treadmill entry "Elliptical", then disappears again and the Treadmill entry shows up, but not both, which I have entered again, restarted my device, deleted the app and reinstalled it, restarted my phone - all of that stuff - and it's still incorrect.

The good:
1. Heart rate tracking. I didn't compare it to the better known heart rate devices like Whoop strap or Polar. But based on all the youtube comparison reviews, charge 6 is decent in this regard. I did compare it against another home heart rate monitor, the result is very similar. The app breaks down each exercise into heart rate zones. It's nice to know exactly how many minutes I was in fat burning zone vs cardio zone. You can also set customized heart rate zones. I've been trying to get into zone 2 cardio, so I find myself constantly checking heart rate during outdoor runs. The screen/display is bright and clear, even on super sunny days.
2. Sleep tracking. Good insights into how long I was in deep sleep vs. light vs. REM. I check it everyday first thing in the morning. And it doesn't always align with my own assessment. Some nights I get less than 6 hrs of sleep and wake up thinking I must be tired. However the app might show that I spent a good amount of time in deep sleep, which can have an instantly uplifting effect. I also feel extra motivated to do some breathing exercise before bedtime, knowing that it might promote better sleep and give me better stats.
3. Recovery estimation. For a week or so, my resting heart rate inched up everyday. Turned out I was doing too much, stacking weight training with core work and a 5-8k run. Once I slowed down, my RHR came down too. The whole time, I was feeling fine physically, so I wouldn't have caught this so early if it wasn't for Fitbit.
The bad:
1. Blood oxygen saturation is wildly inaccurate. If I take its number seriously, I'd be going to the ER twice a week. It's also way off when compared to a home blood oxygen device.
2. Bugs. First bug relates to exercise timing. One day I did weight training from 11:30 pm to just after midnight. Whenever I tried to view details of this exercise session, the app crashed. This has since become a replicable behavior. Second is double counting. There's a particular running coaching session I like on the Fitbit app. But whenever I use it during a run, it counts as a separate exercise in addition to my tracked run. I can delete the dup exercise but somehow it can't be deleted from active zone minute, not from the app or the web dashboard page.
3. Readiness score is a joke. Since this is a feature behind the Fitbit premium paywall, maybe its incompetency is a blessing so that no one should feel the need to pay for it. It works by collecting your sleep, heart rate and active zone stats for the first 1-2 weeks and then "personalize" it to fit you. So as expected, the first 2 weeks, my readiness score was constantly at 1 (out of 100) because without a baseline, it thought I exercised too much. Once baseline is established, the opposite happened. Now the score is constantly close to 100 because it took an average of my past active zone minutes and now tells me to go over that avg every single day. Now there're a few issues here. First, past average is inaccurate because of the double counting issue noted in #2. Secondly, it's inappropriate to tell people to go for such a high number everyday without recovery consideration. If someone were to follow this readiness score's advice, there's a very big chance that they will overtrain and result in injury. Thirdly, this is not some sophisticated algorithm. I write code for a living and I can almost guess how this readiness score is created. Since it's based on sleep score, heart rate variability number and past active zone minutes, someone probably wrote an IF statement breaking the score into the 3 buckets and calculating the exact number using basic formula involving average/percentage, nothing more than grade school math.
Note: many people have complained about firmware update that causes massive issue and renders the device useless. I'm waiting to see on this one.
IMHO, the Charge 6 it is very nice looking (but I wish they hadn't discontinued the blue band), tracks what I find necessary for my personal use, and is simple to operate and understand. My two gripes for what it's worth; I wish it could go further than 2 days on a charge (mostly because the charge cable is cumbersome to use). If I try to squeeze 3 days out of it, it usually won't get through my 3rd exercise. I thought the setting allowed for turning on GPS only when beginning an Exercise, but it seems to be an all on or all off setting after all. Please correct me if I am wrong. But for me this seems to be why the battery doesn't hold up better because it seems that, while I am wearing it and just walking about my work day, GPS is actively running.
Also, the way it sits in the charger, is too cumbersome. You must have it in the correct 180 degree orientation for the magnet to grab hold, and with all the bulk of the wire and magnet attachment underneath the watch, you have to actively 'think' when placing it on the table and ensure that it doesn't inadvertently release the charge cord. My other gripe is, the screen is too small when Exercising. Yes I need reading glasses, which I do not run with, but none the less it makes it troubling when I think if they redesigned this platform into a larger watch face, it would be more useful and enjoyable by being able to more easily see the screen while doing an activity. As it is now I have to wait until it all syncs to my phone then I check it out post-run, etc. Which means I cannot make adjustments to my run in real time.
