I purchased the Charge 6 about 2 months ago and I love it! My favourite features include 1. smart wake (it will wake you up only while you are in light sleep within a 30 min period- I wake up to my alarm clock feeling so much more rejuvenated now! 2. Heart attack detection, while I do not consider myself “at risk” for a heart attack, I am throughout impressed by this life saving feature! 3. Multiple ways it tracks my activity. Can’t recommend this smart watch enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great battery life, separation from phone is a feature not a bug
Reviewed in Canada on January 13, 2024
Colour Name: PorcelainVerified Purchase
I have an Apple watch, but I prefer this for a few reasons. First and foremost is the battery life, which is simply awesome. I can wear this for days on end and still have tons of battery to spare, versus the Apple watch, which could barely make it through the day, and it was not usual that I'd forget to put it back on after it was finished charging. It wasn't worth the hassle, to me.

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.

Great for first time users of fitness trackers, easy to use and comfortable to wear,the size makes for stylish option compared to other fitness trackers. monitor your heart rate and steps along with many other (40)exercises options, add a card and have hands free purchases, great for everyday and awesome battery life about an hour charge time for about a week of use. Recommend for the seasoned and noobies alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did exactly what I hoped it would, got me off my butt moving
Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2024
Colour Name: PorcelainVerified Purchase
Was looking for something to provide just a little motivation to get out and start moving around. Lots of nice features really good battery life the app is decent but not perfect still no complaints. as far as accuracy. It’s quite good if you’re tracking a long walk, run, bike ride, etc., just keep in mind. It’s also counting the movement of your arm as steps, even if you were doing something such as typing playing guitar, etc. so just keep that in mind. Sleep tracker is handy not sure how accurate it is but seems pretty good. Lots of silicon replacement straps available online too in different colours for cheap that are a little more comfortable than the factory strap. The factory strap is nice and good quality but solid rather than mesh and design so it’s a little hotter on your wrist if you’re exercising heavily overall very happy with the item.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dying Already
Reviewed in Canada on February 28, 2024
Colour Name: PorcelainVerified Purchase
Pretty disappointed to be honsent, I used to own a charge 5 which died suddenly after around a year of use where it would boot loop and then just not turn on. I was hesitant to buy a charge 6 at first because of that and seeing some others had the issue but I thought I'd give them another chance and it was on sale and low and behold it's starting die after only 2 weeks this time. It randomly in the day did the weird boot loop thing and then when I checked on later it was just dead and it was at 56% before and magically went down to 0%. I charged it and started to come back but it's still having some issues and I'm pretty disappointed Fitbit didn't fix this after the backlash with the Charge 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replaced my Apple Watch with Charge 6, happy
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2024
Colour Name: PorcelainVerified Purchase
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love my new Charge 6 but the app is buggy!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024
Colour Name: PorcelainVerified Purchase
I love the brightness of the display of Charge 6! The differences between Inspire HR and Charge 6 where easy to adjust to and I was very happy with my new Fitbit device. It's the app that is troublesome. The past two days, manual entry of exercise is wonky. And it is not just me - other users have reported same issue with the recent update that supposedly was meant to fix other bugs, but has obviously resulted in new bugs! I have reported this to Google and hope their developers will issue another update soon that fixes these, because right now, the stats cannot be trusted.

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.

Using Fitbit iOS with an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I have been using Fitbit since 2020, never had problems like this until recent app updates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I went back to fitbit. In depth review
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024
Colour Name: PorcelainVerified Purchase
I use to have the fitbit 3 se and loved it for 3 years and i tried the samsung 4 for all the bells and whistles but the charge lasted a day which to me is counterproductive. I decided to go back to my fitbit since I also enjoyed the platform more for recording all my data such as food ect. I missed the barcode feature when putting in your meals. I use mine more strictly for steps, 24 heart rate, sleep analysis, contactless payments and tracking all my workouts. I'm not a runner anymore so I haven't used the built in GPS but based on technical reviews I didn't miss out. It's a fairly new concept which needs more software updates to be fully functional and not drain the battery life to oblivion. My fitbit actually lasts me a little over 8 days this is with turning the always on display off, txt message notifications off ( I don't see a need for this since I'm not one to utilize too many short message replies). And having the display brightness set to dim and even in full sun I can still see the display very crisply. The contactless payments uses Google pay which if you are already an android user with a Google pay wallet set up was easy and I like that for security reasons it only is set for 24 hour use after putting in your 4 digit code before having to reinput your code. Now the code input is trivial to me I don't like the setup for it. The water resistance is good I haven't showered with the device but the waterlock works well when I wash my hands multiple times a day being a nurse. I have not tested it swimming for the 50 meter water resistance claim. The workout options have improved with more options and now I'm able keep track of my active zone minutes. The heart rate tracking during exercises is said to be more accurate than the charge 5 based on tech data analysis reviews that I researched before hand. The downside is Spotify was removed and replaces with YouTube music in which you will need a subscription for. The 1.4 inch amoled size is perfect if you aren't a huge fan of having a bulky tracker on your wrist. You also now have the option of syncing your device with other heart rate monitoring equipment/workout machines including peloton but for me isn't useful. It has a haptic side button now that was seen in older models which i prefer. Another great feature is the addition of Google maps for those are are runners but again you may compromise the battery life. Since Google bought fitbit there will be more Google geared software. For more health features you now have the eda and ecd scan no BP monitor like on my samsung 4 to my knowledge has pased fda as of yet. You also have a skin temperature sensor like in the fitbit sense how accurate I'm unsure it would need to be tested against something like a NTC thermistor. The sleep analysis data seems overall accurate. I also do use a cpap machine. Overall for the price I think it's a more than suitable tracking device with its more updated hr monitoring compared to other apple watches, garmins and huawei. Still room for improvement such as the built in GPS. I think the GPS should just be mirrored on your phone which is still an option on the charge 6 you can chose dynamic, built in or phone. I would stick with phone to preserve battery but in all I recommend this product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for basic tracking, premium feature is a joke

Been using the charge 6 daily for almost a month. Background: I exercise 5-6 times a week, 1-2.5 hrs a day. My main goal with the device is to track heart rate during exercise and to track sleep in order to gauge recovery.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Battery life is painful...

Overall it's a great tracker which, for me anyway, is why Fitbit is the leader in wearable fit-tech. This unit is leaps ahead of my previous one, which finally just ended itself.

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.
