Fitbit 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’ve been wearing this for a couple weeks now so I’m pretty used to it. So far I really don’t have much to complain about and I’d recommend it to everyone. I like all of the sleep tracking and cardio load info. I’ve used it on multiple day hikes and it has perfectly mapped my entire hike. The only thing that I wasn’t great was the battery drained insanely fast while on one hike because it was only about 25° and my watch was exposed to the cold. Since that day I make sure it is nicely covered during the cold winter hikes and it doesn’t do the fast battery drain. I know there are some negative reviews about inaccurate calorie count or dead batteries often. That has not been my experience at all. I’ve even used it to connect the Zwift app for my bike for heart rate monitoring. It prompted me to connect to the app and instantly showed my heart rate info on my Zwift app screen without any extra effort. Hopefully it continues to function well because I love it.

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

Good price although it's end of life item

I am enjoying this I purchased just for Google pay

This closer-to-60-than-50 obese guy with Type 2 diabetes gets a call from his doctor saying "I need to see you sooner than later". My glucose levels are spiralling out of control. That triggered a need to get real data on what's happening with my body, especially the perception that my sleep cycles are suffering. I NEEEDED DATA! This particular Fitbit product went above and beyond expectations in terms of bio-feedback, especially in terms of a detailed break-down my no-sleep, REM, light-sleep & deep sleep stages each and every night. The food intake recording system in the app is as good as the paid service that Weight Watchers offers with a HUGE library of both grocery store (barcode lookups) and restaurant-menu items. And I can record my glucose levels in the app too. This is a TOTAL SYSTEM that truly feeds a data-oriented mind with EVERYTHING they need. The Fitbit device itself is easy to use and has USEFUL tools inside of it: a get-up-and-move-around reminder, timer, exercise distance/time/burn tracking, an actual ECG recorder (VERY KOOL), alarm, and real-time steps, calorie burn, BLUETOOTH messages from your phone (texts, call indicator, reminders, etc) WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT - huge ROI ** IF ** you learn to use it and max out its features to inspire healthier behaviors. It won't lose weight for you. It won't correct your blood sugars for you. BUT it won't lie to you either - figures don't lie but liars figure, right? It comes with a free PREMIUM membership for a year giving you all kinds of additional resources such as vast library of workout, medication and wellness resources. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED as long as you WORK IT!!! OH, and I've lost almost 10 pounds in 30 days WORKING IT - and I'll share that it's not because I exercised more. It's because I had REAL and TRUE data that showed my calories IN was more than calories OUT. It's my health dashboard now - just like in your car. I know when I'm going beyond the speed limit and I need to slow down or stop altogether.
