   Unable to charge on the 1st day after purchasing. Sent back with RMA but still cannot charge after replacement. worst charging design ever on a smart watch. Buy with caution!

   I received this watch as a gift about 6 months ago. I’m giving it 5 stars, because I love the sleep tracking features, and the smart wake. I also exercise by walking. This morning I went out on a stroll and it tracked every step of my 2 mile hike. It was an urban hike. I reached my target heart rate by the time I looped around. I didn’t know that it was 2 miles until today.

   From what I read, it doesn’t work so well with an iPhone. I have a Pixel 6, which runs Android, and I haven’t had any issues. The one thing I don’t understand is that some people have been reviewing it at a lower overall rating than I was expecting. I think it may have something to do with wrist size. I have the band at the largest setting, and it sits a bit loosely on the back of my wrist. I have never had any problems getting the sensors to work at that level of tightness (well, looseness). It does come with two different sizes of bands, so you may want to try both, if you have a medium to small wrist size.

   I have never had any quality issues with the watch. I love the sleep tracker. It tracks down to the nearest minute, and with the Fitbit app, you can see how much waking time, REM, light sleep, and deep sleep. I need it the most to figure out when I was sleeping, and the quality of my sleep. I have no issues with it, at all.

   I almost gave it 4 stars, because it has a small and narrow screen, and in order to use some of the features, you have to scroll. up, down, left, right, and multiple screens. I don’t need most of these features, but they are nice to have. I learned that I have a normal sinus heart rhythm, and I’m not overly stressed.

   Anyhow, I could write more, but you get the picture. You should probably read some of the reviews, to get a better impression (not just 5-star ones).

   Good luck!

   Es un gran avance con relación a las primeras generaciones de Charges. Lo único que inexplicablemente no tiene es altímetro. Pero todo lo demás es de primera y a un costo con relación a otras marcas, realmente extraordinario.

   The media could not be loaded.

   Why did the Fitbit Charge 6 win me over?

   1) It holds a charge for a lot longer compared to any watch. I need to charge it only every 7 days or so (depending on which features you keep active) Compared to an Apple Watch that needs charging pretty much every day.

   2) And it charges back up quickly. Less 1.5 hours and you’re good to go for another 7 days.

   3) Its size. It is not bulky. I find the watches to feel a bit chunky on me. This is small and comfortable enough that I quickly came to not noticing that I am wearing it. I can sleep with it comfortably (and that’s important for me as tracking my sleep is important to me)
   And it just looks more discrete on my arm.

   4) It gives me a lot of health information and easily tracks my running and other fitness without going overboard. Personally I do not need the extent of detail you would find with something like the Garmin.

   5) It is very user friendly. You don’t need to be a super techy to operate. It’s easy to sync with your phone right out of the box. Then I watched a couple great YouTube videos on the basics to learn even more about all the functions and features.

   The more I use this the more I like it. It has definitely helped me improved my health. I’ve learnt variables that affect my health that I didn’t know about.

   I’ve not yet signed up for the free six months of the premium membership because I wanted to see what I get without it. You get loads without it!

   I won’t go in to all the functions here but take a look at them and see if it gives you what you want. If so, then I would definitely recommend this Charge 6.

   I find all the functions work well. I’ve not had any problems with any of them. Yes I am very happy with my purchase!

   My charge 2 stopped tracking workouts after 6 years of faithful service. Unacceptable and needed a replacement, but all the bad reviews on the charge 6 were concerning. I got one anyway and couldn’t be more pleased. Just as simple and unobtrusive as the 2 but holds a charge longer, looks great and does what I want it to: tell time, wake me up, track sleep and workouts, track steps and generally looks cool without having a supercomputer (apple watch) on your wrist. Plenty of extra features as well. For the price, I’ll be happy if it lasts a year or two – anything beyond that is just icing on the cake. No issues with the band staying on, I suspect some folks just have not fully attached it which is a simple process. Great product and painless upgrade from my charge 2.

   I bought a FitBit Charge 5 about 5 months after it first came out and I really liked it. It could have used a few more functions and battery life is only as good as they say it should be (7-8 days) if you give it all night (8 hours) to charge, not the 1-2 hours they advertise. Unfortunately, the screen died after 2-1/2 years, so I bought the 6.
   The Charge 6 works as well as the 5 did which is GREAT, but Google added “features” that are basically useless unless you’re willing to pay, and pay BIG! Like, they finally gave a screen to allow you to control music, but only in YouTube music! They added Google Maps, but the screen is so small on the Charge that I really fail to see the value in it. They added a “button” on the side (a bump really) that basically does nothing but turn the screen on when you squeeze both sides of the watch. Uhh, the screen comes on automatically when you turn it toward you, so what’s the point? (Yes, there is a setting where you can have the screen on all the time, but it will deplete the battery much faster.)
   And why can’t I put the exercises in the list in the order I want like I could on the Charge 5???? When you click on an exercise, it then stays on top of the list until you select another, and then it moves down below that one. I liked it better the old way where I could list up to 5 and in the order I wanted.
   There are some new screens that give you more data without having to open the phone app, like my sleep score, so that’s good. Just don’t see why Google didn’t take some of the suggestions and complaints that are plentiful on the forums and fix things like they should have. If you’re not going to give the features that everyone seems to want, then don’t “fix it if it ain’t broke”!
   The phone app is OK, and it has improved over the years. It can still be a bit hard to find things at times, but once you get used to where everything is, it’s not too bad. One feature that does not work, is the button for the user manual. It downloads a file that the app won’t open (and nothing else will either), so you have to go to the FitBit website and download it from the Support page. And believe me, you WANT the user manual if you’re going to use all the functions the 6 has! And, it’s nice that you don’t have to pay for the “Premium” functions to have the app work the way it’s supposed to.
   I have a small wrist and I like the fit without a big, bulky “smart” watch that doesn’t fit and gets caught on things all the time. There are lots of band options on Amazon, so you’re sure to find something that works for you. But I have to ask, why does the “gold” watch come with a “Coral” (read: orange) band?? Seriously? The gold watch looks great with a black or dark blue band. Rather classy!
   I like this FitBit so much that I bought another one, so I guess that’s about the best recommendation I can give!

   Tracking of steps and sleep have kept me focused on my long term goals. This is a valuable weapon in the wellness arsenal.
