Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted something to track my exercise and my sleep but didn't need the functionality of a smartwatch and so decided on a smaller fitness tracker. The Charge 6 fits the bill. I've been using it for several months and am very happy with it. It's size makes it unobtrusive on the wrist. It seems to read my heart rate well and does a great job logging my exercise sessions. I used it to track fitness classes, yoga, and stationary cycling. I am very pleased with the sleep tracking, too. The Charge 6 and the Fitbit are easy to set up and use and have enough customization for my needs. I enjoy going into the app and checking on my sleep and exercise and I feel it provides some good insight into both. The battery has enough life to go for days but I usually end up topping it off every two days or so. It doesn't take to long for it to go from the mid-70s to close to full, perhaps a half-hour. I would definitely recommend the Charge 6 for anybody looking for an unobtrusive, yet fashionable, fitness tracker.

Compact! Does so much for so little I love it! I did change the wrist band because the one that it came with was irritating my skin but other than that it’s great. Tracks my sleep every night, exercise, menstrual cycle, etc. I also love the find phone alert and the alarm

The battery life is good, last about a week. It does what it sets out to do and what I was looking for: an unobtrusive watch that counts my steps, sleep tracking, tells me the time, and tracks my workouts. I do wish there was a pickleball option. I wash it everyday with soap and water and it’s fine. It’s pretty comfortable when I sleep although I did have to get used to it. HOWEVER, you may need to troubleshoot some settings with counting steps, it was way overestimating my steps based on me moving my arm or hand at all while stationary. I had it on my left (non-dominant) wrist but it seems to have been fixed by putting the setting to dominant wrist so that it’s less sensitive. It’s been a lot more consistent with my phones pedometer (Apple Health) since then. Also, I wish they had a pickleball setting as one of the workouts. Color is nice, like a light stormy white.

The best Fitbit they've produced yet! I previously had the Charge 5 but gave it to my husband when I purchased my Google Pixel 8 Pro because they threw in the Pixel Watch 2 for free as part of the pre-order deal. However, once unboxed and in use, I grew to not only feel the Pixel Watch 2 was unnecessary, but I grew to hate it to the point that I have it now packaged in the original box and am seeking a buyer to take it off my hands. It would have been a perfect piece of prizes technology if only for one MAJOR pain point -it's battery life is lucky to cycle 24 hours. You have to constantly charge it which leaves those of us wanting to utilize it's built in FITBIT capabilities stuck at a fork in the road. When do you charge it? Most of the time-with my schedule - I could only do so at night and wouldn't remember or it wouldn't be convenient to then put it on for the sleep analysis it provides just to have a half dead battery in the morning - again. Enter Fitbit Charge 6 - better than the last and still retaining the perfect size, features, ability and charm of the previous Gen. All with a battery that'll last you up to a week depending on your usage and how you utilize the device. For me, the battery goes a solid 4 to 5 days before I throw it on the charger and even then it's got plenty of juice. The strong battery life is a bonus if you're serious about tracking your daily fitness, health and sleep statistics and it runs seamless and effortless side by side with the guilt integrated Fitbit app and Google Fit/Google Health Services. I love it and one thing it holds over the watch and other models is the ability to test your ECG with a light squeeze of the sensors on the sides of the faces frame for a quick 30 second stress-test providing easy to understand results that quickly sync to the app and your backup product of choice - mine being Google One/Drive for my that aspect. You can also opt for a longer 90 sec version which measures more indepth and includes a brief response you have to enter on prompting your check in for overall feeling that day. I love those features most. Other than the previous features of the last generation Charge 5, the Charge 6 now includes integration with YouTube music and Google Maps for easy navigation and control of audio entertainment during workouts or whenever you pop in a pair of Pixel Buds Pro (no they're not required and it'll work with any device but we're talking Google here and if you're in-you're in so chances are you have a pair or they're in a wish list somewhere that needs to be set alongside Google Shopping for price monitoring reminders so you can catch em on sale and enjoy the quality sound, features and patented spatial audio capability with the rest of us) The Charge 6 houses all of the ability within the previously mentioned Pixel Watch 2, albeit on a smaller or less invasive scale, but still-the tech is there to receive notifications, make and accept calls and it allows you to play with a plethora of pretty cool capabilities to allow you to fully customize your experience from the apps you use daily (MyFitnessPal for example) all the way to designing the clock face for your comfort, style and ease of quick reference. Anyone can easily pick this device up, unbox and after giving the initial full charge, be on your way instantly in using it to its fullest ability - or just to your personal needs and preferred measurements - ALL AT LESS THAN 1/3 OF THE PRICE of the Pixel Watch 2! Another gripe of mine. Why buy a $400 watch when this gem clocks in around $100 (on sale) and is fully able to compete as a strong competitor side by side? The Charge 6 is easier to use overall, simpler to program and navigate and it has all the essentials without the fluff that's described as flare in the Pixel Watch 2. Yes, with the watch I can do a little more - such as drop in on my video doorbell for a view of who's at the door, take a screenshot of the face in any screen and a few other neat tech tricks that while slightly impressive after highly forgettable and unnecessary when navigated from my vantage point. The watch is built for the solid fact of having a wearable device capable of any task you may need to execute in the event that your phone isn't close by. That's great, but how many of us are not in near constant possession of our smartphone or at least, if not, don't have it really close by? Considering the crazy price point, the lackluster battery and a few other pain points in my review of the Pixel Watch 2 I think there's no contest to be had it you're someone in the market for a fitness tracker and weighing the options of pro and con between purchasing a FITBIT or Pixel Watch (or any branded smartwatch). The Charge 6 is the clear winner and I even converted my husband in giving him the Charge 5 because he used that in place of an Amazfit tracker and now won't use anything but FITBIT. (Sidenote - hubby is an Apple guy (in a smart home full of Google lol and he wanted me to include in my review that the Charge 5 has a seamless integration and fully carefree, simple and strong functionality with his Apple branded products. It really paired to the Fitbit app in his iPhone and communicates beautifully side by side with Apple fit for his own needs. He hasn't had any issue using the Google FITBIT with his Apple iPhone 14 Pro, iPad or in switching between different interfaces. So Apple users, I know you love your red and delicious rival to the Google brand, but if you're wanting the best in fitness and health tracking capability with 100% ease of integration-Google FITBIT is the way to go!) So there is my two cents and an added boost from an Apple advocates POV in mixing ecosystems. I can't speak for all Google products on their ease of use and capability in cross cultivating other Apple abilities, but in this case it's as simple and painless a process as anyone could have programmed. You will not be sorry in choosing to go with FITBIT and it's fully backed by manufacturer guarantee and warranty. I had a point after about a year in the Charge 5 where I dropped it(naturally at the perfect wrong angle) and it broke the clip part that hugs on to the band. I contacted Fitbit directly and they said I'd need to replace the whole thing. I wanted to be upset about it until they asked for my shipping information and sent me a new unit at no charge. That's the one hubby has now. Google and Fitbit stand by their products. Make sure you register the device to your Google account and set up following the simple steps it gives you because Google, when directly contacted regarding issues in their products, will stand behind their brand and customer-centric approach to keep the customer happy and their product functional and running in your hands. Translation, follow the rules from the start and if you have a mishap along the way they will do everything they can to make it right even-in my experience-if it's not technically within the written term of the warranty. Just be nice, patient and they'll show you how great they can really be.

This is the second Fitbit I’ve purchased! I bought one a week ago for myself and loved it so much, I got one for my dad. I have an iPhone, but it was super easy to set up. It comes with 6 months of Fitbit premium for free. It tracks my sleep patterns. The step tracking is more accurate than any of the other watches I’ve used. I like the option to not have notifications come through on the watch! The battery life is insane - I go about a week before I even have to think about charging it. It charges super fast. The gentle reminders to move have helped me meet my daily move and step goals. The timers and alarms features are great, too. It’s very intuitive, simple and easy to use.

This is a great bracelet to use while in school. No need to be looking at your iPhone. I get to see all my text message and much more. Perfect what I was looking for and design. Light weight and easy to use.

I was gifted a Fitbit charger a couple of years back and finally gave out. I like it so much that I decided to purchase this new one . Battery life was great and easy to use

This product is reliable, easy to use and convenient! The band is so comfortable it sometimes feels like I don't have it on! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a lightweight watch that also monitors your vitals.

This Fitbit is comfortable, easy to use and very helpful. The battery life is fantastic! The only flaw is the step tracker is a little off; it’ll read hand movements as steps sometimes. Either than that it’s very helpful for seeing my bp and tracking how I sleeps

Overall I like the Fitbit (now Google) Charge devices. My old one was not holding its charge as well and given the fact I owned for several years, I reviewed and decided to upgrade to the Charge 6. I have not been disappointed with the watch. It has all the features of the old one and some newer features that are nice. My only note of caution is on the new Google app which replaces the original Fitbit. I am still learning to navigate. Overall it has been good but there have been some modifications that I am still adjusting to. For example, the sleep metrics seems to use a new algorithm which is impacting the scores I am receiving. Not sure which is more accurate and I lost the ability to grab the original metrics to compare. I would highly recommend this device.

I’ve been wearing a Fitbit for about a year and recently upgraded to this one. I wanted the better heart monitoring. Both my parents have A-fib. Gives reliable data, is small and comfortable to wear, and without the subscription, it still provides a lot of health and fitness info, along with sleep quality. I’m a watch nerd, so I wear it on my right arm and continue to wear a “real” watch on my left.

I’ve used different models of multiple Fitbits and the charge 6 is one of the best ones i’ve used recently. The battery lasts to 7-days (with settings adjusted) and is easy to use. Small and comfortable to wear all day and doesnt get in the way when weight lifting or doing things when you bend your wrist. A great fitness watch to have for beginners or for those who don’t need too many features. A side not is that you csn see all of your text messages well enough compared to previous models without having to pull your phone out. Definitely a great purchase.

This is my second Fitbit purchase in the last several years. I am very pleased with the new features this generation offers, particularly the "find my phone" capability and the screen font enlargement feature. It's good to know that Google keeps pace with updated technology capabilities and incorporates new features to keep pace with the market.

My husband and I are trying to lose weight. My son need to monitor his heart rate, and my mom wanted to count steps. My husband got one of these about 18 months ago and loved it. Since then, we've purchased three more for our needs. Love! Works well (sometimes it over or under counts, but nothing is perfect). Paired with a cloth strap and a screen protector, it does everything we need and more. I wear mine constantly, except for showering, and barely even notice it's there anymore. I really like being able to customize the face for exactly the view I need. I couldn't be happier!

[Employee of bestbuy] a few gripes. 1. You can never turn it off until the battery dies 2. No Spotify app, nor is there a plug-in. 3. No Voice Assistant. 4. No useful Wallet features (the wallet app sucks just trust me on this one) 5. No third party media controls, (spotify, apple music, youtube, pandora, etc.) 6. Lack of customization options (no wallpaper backgrounds, no custom colors, fonts) 7. Watch may fall out of sync if kept in hibernation or away from phone for too long. 8. App required. to be fair, the battery life is beyond amazing (although i wish they had more accessible charging beyond their singular provided cable), and the step counting is pinpoint accurate. It's also very user friendly and useful at a glance. If you're looking for something barebones to help you keep track of your fitness journey and the time, this is the product for you. If you have any issues with the aforementioned lack of features, steer clear.

Battery life lasts 5days and durability is absolutely good and felt much comfortable with nylon bands

I got the FitBit model because the Versa 3 i had wore out. I like the slim line of the Charge 6. It has pretty much all the same functionality of my previous FitBit in a sleaker body. I use it to monitor sleep quality. It kerps me aware of my schedule and habits that effect my sleep. I use it to monitor daily steps as well as exercise time (there are numerous choices so you can set it to many activities. It reminds me hourly to get up and move a bit which is great sunce my job is sedentary. It monitors heart rate and can help with taking time for mindfulness and relaxation. Even a few minutes when stressed makes a difference. I also use the timer and alarms. All in all I like the sizecand functionality. I wish there was another option for the font used for the clock face. But that's not a real issue. I should add that the battery life, for my usage, is about 6 days which is great as far as I'm concerned.

This Charge 6 fitbit is much better than my previous Charge 4. It is easy to read with bright wording. It helps me keep track of my workouts.

I like this fitness tracker. I have small wrists and the two bands allow for proper fit. It tracks activity well. The screen is easy to read and navigate. I chose this over an Apple watch because I wanted activity tracking and not the constant distractions of alerts from my iPhone all day. This tracker does allow text and call alerts for those who do want that and it works well with my iPhone via the Fitbit app. I love the built in GPS and the other great health/activity features. Sleep tracking was a key point for me and this watch does that well. And the battery life is phenomenal! Would recommend!

I’ve been using the Charge 6 for about two months now and I’m really happy with it. I like how easily it works with Google Health Connect, and the app makes it simple to keep track of everything. I’ve actually compared the heart rate, distance, and calorie readings with the equipment at my gym, and they were surprisingly close, which made me feel confident about the accuracy. I also really like the size. I have small wrists, so most smartwatches feel too big on me, but this one fits me really well and doesn’t feel bulky. Overall, I’m really happy with it so far.
