Fitbit Charge 6 Fitness Tracker with Google apps, Heart Rate on Exercise Equipment, 6-Months Premium Membership Included, GPS, Health Tools and More, Obsidian/Black, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

I've used a Fitbit for tracking my exercise and health goals for almost a decade now. I'm continually impressed with the newer features and improvements. My prior Fitbit was a Charge 4 which worked great, but had an unfortunate design flaw that eventually led to it dying...its band prongs on both sides of the bezel were somewhat flimsy and broke after a few years of wear. Now, one can expect to get about two to three years out of a Fitbit, so I wasn't heartbroken, but the new Charge 6 eliminates this issue by moving the band prongs to the band side! Now, if anything were ro break under stress, it would be the band, not the bezel. This is a much more feasible solution to a relatively basic problem. Otherwise, not much to report other than the Charge 6 works extremely well, looks terrific, and is very easy to set up. Zero complaints from me!

I have delayed purchasing a smart watch but the value for the functionality of this watch was well worth it. The info I get from the sleep tracking has been a great help. I have a better idea of my activity level, which is actually a lot more than I thought. I didn't use it to track exercise (yet) but that would be a valuable feature if you do. It also has the feature for tracking your stress management techniques. (To see how breathing exercises lower heart rate, etc)I love that it tracks oxygen variants while you sleep. It's not to be used to diagnose anything but helpful to know if you suspect apnea. It's also good to know that it will detect afib.It's also water proof since it's meant to be worn while swimming.It's easy to connect with Bluetooth and get only the notifications you choose. It has quick response options to respond to tests. It is NOT great for phone calls however it works well enough to answer until you can get to your phone or if you have your phone hooked up to earbuds, car speaker, etc.Shockingly the feature I use the most is to check the time!It comes with two watch bands, one longer than the other so it should fit anyone.Cons:It does have Google pay, but few credit/debit cards allow you to use watch pay. So even if you use it on your phone, it does not mean you can use that card on your watch.The watch face designs are limited and unimpressive.Overall, I am extremely happy that I bought this watch.

I wanted a relatively simple, small, lite watch with excellent sleep and fitness tracking; I don't want to read messages or emails on my wrist - I keep my phone with me for that. In fact for most smart watch functions, I'm fine with simple controls on the watch and doing the heavy changes on my phone.With that in mind, Charge 6 has done a great job. It is lite and comfortable, includes face fonts that make it easy to read even in daylight, and it is an excellent fitness & sleep tracker. If Google would stop sabotaging the fitness app, I would give this an easy 5 starts. Unfortunately, Google seems determined to gimp everything that made fitbit awesome. The app software is slowly becoming terrible, functions are removed and the GUI makes the sleep tracking difficult to track. The quality has dropped enough that I stopped subscribing to the advanced features, they werent' worth it any longer. Lesson - don't trust any Google owned wearable to continue whatever it is you think is worth buying it for.

A family member had recently raved about her FitBit and I had a very old Apple Watch which needed replacing (due to terrible battery life) so I was convinced to give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience has been quite awful and I want others to be informed before they buy.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.

It’s not working. I have it charging and nothing is happening. Waiting until tomorrow. If not I’m going to returned.It’s working now. The problem was the outlet.
