Returned Charge 6 today. Back to YEARS OLD, reliable FitBit Alta HR, whose display is so dim I tried to replace it after all these years with the Charge 6. Alta HR still lasts 10-14 days with exercise, driving (it thinks I'm exercising), sleep tracking. Never bring charger when going away for a few days. It endures daily showers and because it's narrow and can be worn fairly loose, my skin dries easily, doesn't get indented or a rash. Charge 6 has to be worn tighter and has a wider band, so my wrist remains wet, gets indented and turns pink and sensitive. Most important features for me: battery life, sleep track, heart rate, water resistance (don't remove to take shower), readable/bright display for the moment I check it. Nice to have: SPO2, ECG, tap/near to pay...Charge 6 has these, Alta HR doesn't. Charge 6 needed to be charged EVERY 3 DAYS like clockwork...it would die on me bc I kept thinking I'd have at least a couple hours or more when it hit 20%. It died every 3rd day approx late AM/early PM. And once it hit 20% battery, its battery level would plummet within an hour and it would go dark, not to come on again until recharged. For its battery, 20% is not linear WRT 3 days, FWIW. I had 3 days battery life with the following settings (the entire time) to see how much I could squeeze out of battery life: GPS OFF Google Maps and YouTube Music OFF Display: Dim, Auto Screen Wake, Default time on before turn off (IOW, not Always On, it turns itself off after it wakes) Bluetooth OFF - except to sync for 1-2 mins each morning Notifications OFF No ECG, EDA use No Google Pay transactions No HR Equipment use No actual exercising or driving!!! Sedentary No Alarms or Timers set No Find Phone use It rarely vibrated, except for Inactivity or 10P reminder to go to sleep ...So you can see why 3 days was unaccaptable given it's not a "Smart Watch" and it's promoted everywher as having 1 Week Battery Life. After 2-3 days of wear, it finally started recording sleep, initially it did not. I don't know if that's because I tightened it (not that comfortable) or if it had figure things out. Sleep tracking seemed consistent with Alta HR and other reference factors. Heart rate seemed fine and consistent with Alta HR. You can't use the ECG feature if you tell it you have a heart issue (I forget the actual verbiage..."afib"?) It's a handsome tracker, packed with features, easy to read display, easy to navigate menus, light on documentation in box, comes with a short and long half band depending on wrist size. The way the band "hooks" it flops over a lot and I'd have to start all over. I don't like that, watches have been around for a long time, they should be easy to put on...the fastening/buckling features are "mature technology" to say the least.

Overall I am happy with my purchase. The Charge 6 uses the same physical design of the Charge 5 while adding a haptic button like what the Charge 4 had. It is lower profile/slimmer than the Charge 4, which is nice for sleep tracking as it is not uncomfortable to wear when your arm is crammed beneath a pillow. Google Maps integration is nice, if gimmicky, but is mainly useful for exercise routes, not for driving in a car. I have noticed that the watch will vibrate when your direction changes to the next step instead of vibrating right before you are about to change direction (if that makes sense). The reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is that I have yet to test the GPS accuracy while exercising and accurately measuring heart rate. The Charge 5 had an issue where you could get either accurate GPS tracking OR accurate heart rate monitoring, but not both due to poor design. To get good heart rate monitoring, the device needs to be close to your skin, which prevented the GPS from getting a good signal. Otherwise the device comes with the usual behaviors and integrations of previous generations of Charge devices, which at this point are fairly robust and work reliably. If you can get it on sale, it is definitely worth the price.

This FB is the perfect size and packs a lot of capability into a small good looking form. Easy to wear with a very capable phone app it's my choice for every day.

Love it so far, good battery life. Tracks heart rate, steps, sleep and more. I wasn't sure about wearing it all night but 8t doesn't bother me at all.

I am really enjoying using this Fitbit Charge 6. It has been simple to set up and use. I have found it to be very intuitive. In addition, it is providing the exact metrics I was hoping to be able to track. I have been especially pleased with the sleep tracking and readiness score data. I have also been using its Google Wallet and text message functions. It is very easy to swap bands to different colors and styles.

I love the sleep tracking. Find that feature to be very helpful for me. My one complaint is the neoprene or whatever the band that comes with your purchase. It's a really crappy band, and many people get rashes from its chemical makeup. By a natural hemp band for a few dollers more and it's a very comfortable wearable.

I am very happy with my new watch. I like the sleek design the many options of watch faces. All the fitness tracking features are really fantastic and the battery lasts so long. I love it!

The Charge Fitbit is great for helping monitor my heart rate, sleep patterns and oxygen levels. I purchased at the direction of my physician.

Great watch so far. Very accurate. I like the color of the watch and the band fits great.. So far the battery has retained its charge and it appears to be very accurate

I absolutely Love my Fitbit 6. It is so easy to use and the battery stays charged for at least 6 to 7 days.

Small, light and comfortable Long battery life Easy to use and user-friendly app

I am pretty basic in my wants for a fitness tracker - this gives me the info I want (actually does more than I pay attention to) and it fits my small wrist nicely. It is lasting quite a while on each charge, even when I use it for tracking my forest runs.

The product arrived in a timely manner. It was just what I was looking for. The type I had previously was bulky and caught on my clothes and backpack. This fitbit is sleek. It was easy to set up. The screen is easy to read. I can wear it at the water park and not worry about getting it wet. I would highly recommend this product.

Works great and battery life is great as well, so far no problems.

Got this for my wife to replace her ancient fitbit that stopped charging. She loves this one better then her previous model. It looks nice and isnt big or bulky. It holds charge for a long time, which is really helpful for when your on the go for days and just dont want to have to take it off and forget to put it on. Can always change out your band to something nicer if you want with these, and thats something she decided to do. Step tracker works great and is very reliable. Definitely recommend!

Bought the Fitbit Charge 6 after I retired my Fitbit Luxe. I have small wrists so I always prefer the slimmer designs on fitness trackers. Fitbit is really the only brand I'll go with because of their slimmer design options. The Fitbit Charge 6 has been an excellent fitness tracker so far. Battery life has been excellent. The original bands are a bit wide to my liking, but you can easily find slimmer designs on third-party sites.

I just wanted a simple health tracker, with few but key bells and whistles. It measures my steps and miles. Heart rate, calories Tracks sleep, Reminds me to stand, alerts me to phone calls and messages when away from phone. It does more, but those are the main features. Love the long battery life. I charge it once every 5 days

Provides constant data and feedback. I wear it all the time. I bought this one because my last one had worn out after several years, would not have even considered a different brand or model. (I did look, but there was nothing comparable.)

The fitness tracker seems pretty accurate and functional. It is comfortable and very low profile on my wrist. It's a little small for my liking but is not bad. The charge lasts for about a week if I don't use vibrating timers too often so its very nice for that. It's very helpful for sleep tracking. It doesn't give me too much information about my stress level which I have with Garmin devices. Overall though, for the cost it is a very good and helpful device.

Replaces my Inspire 2. Good, simple tracker for the price. Lower profile on the wrist is a good design; comfortable band. Tracks different exercises on the wrist (as opposed to only in the app). Haven't used all the features yet. Battery lasts about 7 days before recharging. Difficult to rate durability because I haven't had it long. My other Fitbits lasted about 2 years each.
