Customer Ratings & Reviews

I upgraded to Charge 6 after starting to have problems with my Charge 5. Love the Charge 6. It appears to be accurate and works great as a fitness watch, which is exactly what I want.

This is my second Fitbit Charge. I love the feel and the function. First rate fitness tracker. I had an Apple watch prior. The Fitbit had the function I liked, did not catch on things like the Apple watch did, had much longer battery life, and lasted longer.

The watch is great except for the band. It cuts into my wrist as the photo shows. Not sure why Fitbit changed the closure. The new snap closure is uncomfortable, leaves gaps, and when fastened tightly enough for it to actually track, left me with tender skin, a blister and a cut. Shifted to the other wrist and the same thing began to happen. Advise buying a traditional prong closure wristband to replace the one the watch comes with.

It has many functions and the battery lasts almost 1 week. Larger than the inspire and has the ability to do a short EKG. It’s not automatically tracking my exercise when on the elliptical. Will try to sort that out. So far it has been durable. I had the inspire which would break on the sides by year 2

I bought this Fitbit to track my steps and my heart rate. I love all of the other features like the sleep tracking and exercise tracking.

I walk daily and hike occasionally. I am satisfied with the fit and functionality of this watch at the price point it was offered. Pros: Comfortable, lightweight. Excellent fitness tracker for walkers like me with just the right amount of data. I charge about once a week. Cons: Don't expect a full smartwatch/fitness tracker like experience. Limited data/functionality unless paying for fitbit premium.

Perfect for accurately tracking outdoor activities such as h8king, especially with the built in GPS. Easily moves data between phone app (necessary), and even the Weight Watchers app, for tracking exercise points. Long battery life indoors, but well-advised to charge before using it sans-phone with the GPS running. App displays map of hiked trail. Would like it if Walking also produced a map. Walking with GPS is very accurate, though. Using weight, the system gives you calculated calories burned. Sleep data is incredible. I always knew I had a sub-60 Resting Heart Rate, but with constant monitoring, turns out mine is actually 52 bpm!

This is my favorite Fitbit that I have purchased. I have owned close to a dozen total Fitbits over the years. This is my 3rd or 4th of the Fitbit Charge 6. They only last me roughly 6 months. The one I had last purchased died, It was the first of all ever purchased that was covered by warranty. The Google warranty had me send it back, they stated they would send me a new one once they received it. I was heading out on a trip and track my steps daily. So, I could not wait, and purchased this one from Bestbuy with the Bestbuy warranty. So, when this one dies, I'll take it to Bestbuy and hope to get it replaced in less than the 2 full weeks it took Google to send me my replacement.

It's a good product, the display is clear and visible in full sun outdoors, which was something I was worried about. Occasionally I'm unable to sync the Fitbit with the mobile app. Also, the strap is made of plastic and not very comfortable especially when wet. But you can buy additional straps that are made of fabric, so I might do just that. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase.

Purchased as a Christmas gift. User loves it and has no complaints. Says battery life is decent and watch is stylish and not bulky.

Good watch and fitness tracker. The screen is not bad to view notifications despite the narrow face - you can see the gist of the message, and it's anyway not meant to be a full viewer of messages. Battery life lasts just about through the week. Its auto workout detection confused swimming as an elliptical, so I turned off elliptical detection and it worked to detect swimming. If you turn on swimming manually, it will not track heart rate, but will track laps; but if it autodetects swimming, it will track heart rate but not number of laps.

The Fitbit -Charge 6 is very helping in tracking heart rate and steps per day. It is also bigger than previous models. I like it...The rubber band can irritate skin if not monitor.

I think the overall use is great. I like the slim profile. My wrist is on the larger side so I always use the large bands. Sometimes I have sync problems between the Charge 6 and my phone. Usually corrected by restarting both devices. After having the device for about a year and a half the charging is not working. The connection points to the charge wear off. Not much can be done to fix it. Just have to replace it.

Great to track my sleep habits and steps love being able to connect to my I phone

I have been using Fitbit for about 12-13 years. I am upgrading to this from a Charge 4. My charge 4 was still working. I finally chose to upgrade for the color display, the wireless notifications, Google Maps and Google Pay. I was going to wait, because I was not sure I wanted to give up the altimeter and tracking floors. I didn't have that feature before I got the Charge 4 though, so I decided I wouldn't really miss it. Most of my elevation change occurs when I am walking anyway, which gets picked up when tracking walks with the GPS on my phone. I don't really miss it. Everything else about it, is better than the charge 4. I can see the display when I am walking, I do actually flip it up when I get a text to see if I want to bother reaching for my phone or not. I also feel it is more form fitting than my Charge 4, even though the specs would indicated it is a little thicker, it feels thinner. I thought long and hard about getting this or moving to a smart watch. Seriously considered moving to a Pixel or a Galaxy watch, but this does everything I need it to do, does it well, costs less, has better battery life, and over the years, I have gotten used to the smaller form factor. I am glad I decided to stick with the tracker. It is working well at tracking my activity and my calorie burn and I am using it to succesfully maintain a calorie device with a combination of this and the Android app, and it is working fine.

Does everything you need. Accurate and light/small enough to forget you are wearing it, Battery life is a big bonus over an Apple Watch.

Easy to use, very practical for daily exercises for regular people

I bought the Charge 6 in late 2023 specifically to track sleep and steps. I never owned a personal fitness device like this before. At that time I still wore an analog wristwatch regularly, so I wanted a low-profile device I can wear on my opposite wrist and to sleep with at night. The Charge 6 was perfect in both these respects. The app set-up and pairing with device was easy, and I was able to start using my device right away. I mostly use the app, and it has been great tracking my steps and helping me improve my sleep habits. For example, it encouraged me to make sure I got to bed earlier and cut-off any devices earlier because going to bed later and watching TV/being on the computer late at night really impacted my sleep negatively. Also, if I drink any alcohol, even one glass of wine within several hours of going to bed, I noticed my sleep was also affected (typically less REM and deep sleep). This device was easy to wear every day, and I did not get overly consumed with the data. However, I had to replace it after 15 months because the screen just 'blanked out' (showing fuzzy white screen), and the battery was burning out fast at the same time the screen issue happened. I tried to reset but that did not work. Interesting, it still was tracking my fitness, e.g. steps, sleep, etc., and was recording to the app. In March 2025 I bought a new Charge 6 to replace my first one. FUnny thing about the new Charge 6, which paired nicely with my existing app and data, is that it seems to be 'giving' me better sleep, i.e. showing improved sleep assessment, than my old Charge 6. The other thing I would mention is that the steps are overexaggerates my steps. But overall I would highly recommend this device.

Works great, but band is awful. Gets real stinky/smelly, and leaves my skin the same. Invest in a better band!

I’m upgrading from a Charge 5 to this under unique circumstances where this one is significantly more worth it for me to have. For one I ACTUALLY use YouTube music primarily, and I am immediately loving the music controls that this gives me when I’m listening (does suck for everyone who uses Spotify or Apple Music). I like the google maps integration and how it tells you where to go next, I think I will probably try that out on my next big bike ride when I get a chance, will see how that goes and will come back if I think of anything notable to add on that. Finally, time will tell how reliable the fitness device HR connectivity will tell, I will be trying it on my Peloton, will come back and update if I have any substantial problems with connecting it. Main downside? As other reviews particularly on Amazon would tell you, ease of connectivity during setup seems to be inconsistent. I was able to get mine to successfully connect after several rounds of restarting the tracker and my phone, but it did take me about 20 minutes. If you have trouble like I did, reset the Fitbit in the setup phase - use the included charging cable that has a button on it and press the button 3 times with about a second in between presses (you should feel/hear the Fitbit respond to the button press). You’ll know it reset successfully if you see the Fitbit logo reappear. Once it connected, I haven’t had problems with it disconnecting yet (again, will come back and update if this changes).
