Customer Ratings & Reviews

Enjoy using the product. Sometimes it doesn’t calculate my entire walk because the god with track a different shape than the street I am on. However, my iPhone does the same thing. Seems more like it is the current level of technology we are using than the product. I enjoy that it is smaller than an Apple Watch. This is why I bought this product over an Apple Watch. It is smaller / a great size.

I honestly love this little guy. I had the Samsung 6 watch and got so annoyed with the battery life and it definitely didn't record the steps properly. The Fitbit charger 6 battery will last me about 5 days before charging and that's wearing it at all times. Also, I love the slim look and not the super large watch face that the SM6 had.

I got this for my mom with additional bands and she loves it. The fact that it monitors her sleep counts her steps and so much more is what she loves. This was to help us start with a better health lifestyle.

I have an apple watch and found it too distracting with all the apps, etc. I LOVE my fitbit charge 6, it has all the essential functions I need especially working in a lab. I have the time, health statistics, timers, etc and super easy to use plus the battery lasts 5-7 days without charging. It’s water resistant and I do shower with it with the water lock feature. Overall the best watch I’ve ever had!!

Got this for my daughter that previously had the inspire 2 and was concerned this watch may be too big, She loves it and the size is great, not too big and more features than the inspire model

My bad. I admit it... See, my current FitBit 4's screen had died and I was in a hurry to get a replacement. Didn't even think to check. Understand, this is my third Fitbit Charge... and I made the (incorrect) assumption that this natural progression in the Charge series (3, 4, [I never got a 5 or you might be reading this same kind of review earlier...]) would be *about* the same as the earlier ones I owned. Maybe some improvements because that's the way this stuff used to work, right? WRONG! I never even considered the possibility that they would take away what I had considered to be the only thing that set it apart from other 'step counter' and heartbeat monitor devices... The ability to track elevation ('floors') and still keep the same "Charge" name. Good job, Google... You got me. <sigh> In a world where companies actually cared about customers, they might give a model with a radical change in functions a different name. Even something as simple as "Charge X Lite" ... well, not that exactly but something along those lines "Charge 6 Budget" "Charge 6 Econ" something to alert people that these new and (not) improved) Charge-s, while seemingly in the same lineage (3, 4, ...) are different. But that would probably hurt sales, right? Who knows, maybe it would have helped sales of a more expensive version with the 'floors' feature. I hope you don't think I'll buy another one with an altimeter/barometer. Not going to happen. In fact, this will be the last Fitbit/Google tracking product that I purchase. New brand in 3 years (or am I dreaming that a Google product could possibly last that long.... After all, planned obsolence is good for Google ... And what's good for Google is good for...well, if not America, then at least our digital overlords, I guess). As for the alleged 'improvements,' the watch GPS is cludgy, an energy hog, and overly complicated. I quickly discovered it is best to default to using the phone GPS... The EDA scan is a truly useless gimmick, there, I suspect, solely as ploy to try to upsell you to premium 'breathing exercises' content (Spoiler alert... Don't do it... they suck... Want breathing exercises? get a dedicated meditation app!). I would gladly sacrifice the gimmick eda-scan-upsell silliness for an altimeter, however (below) average it may perform. On the plus side, the screen is bright and readable in any light. After years of learning to give up on trying to see anything on the Charge 4 screen, I have to remind myself that this screen is actually acceptable. And the "Find Phone" function is useful. Every week seems to be a new problem... As reported elsewhere, the app would sometimes crash when attempting to view (post-workout) the map of a walk tracked on the app ... On more than one morning, I have encountered grossly inaccurate (too high) heart rate. I wear a second tracker for accurate altitude (suunto) on my right wrist. So when fitbit reported a heart rate at double the actual rate, I knew the Fitbit had problems. Searched on-line and sure enough, a known issue. I had to reboot multiple times to get it right. (and the reboot via charging cable is stunningly user-unfriendly... Do you people even know how the average person charges things... You place the button in an almost impossible to reach position unless it is alone in a USB port/jack. Really dumb). The Out of Control Heart Rate Issue started when I was (foolishly) trying to use the EDA scan (my bad... Seriously, we should be given the option to disable the Useless EDA Scan). Suspect the heart rate reading fail is related to stunningly cheap/inadequate hardware design and production issues. And finally, after all these years, you'd think somebody there could fix the app so that it stops announcing the average and split pace as the same for each 'lap' (Average Pace AND Split Pace are generally NOT the same thing!... Sheeesh).

Great battery life, fast charging, compact design, I highly recommend this smartwatch if those features are important to you.

I love it. Frankly, after the Charge 5, I was a little disenchanted with Fitbit, but the Charge 6 is wonderful. Responsive, great battery life, and dependable.

I've now owned this for a couple months. It does everything I want BUT there is an inherent weakness in the band bracket on the top of the unit. It flies off my wrist when at the gym which is not helpful when you're tracking heart rate. It happens frequently enough that it's disappointing. If you go to the gym, you might want to consider a smart watch style.

Affordable option that gives me all the info I want, even without the premium subscription! Keeps track of steps, HR, sleep, exercise and goals.

Works as well, if not better, than my Versa. More flattering and streamlined on arm.

I wanted something that wpuld last several days as my main goal was to track my sleep so a new puxel watch 2 didnt seem like the best option. I dont need a ton of art features, I wanted to check the time, track my runs, and track my sleep, this does all that and so much more andnits simple. I do wish fitbit would get their act in gear and show connected gps altitude data but it doesnt show that in the app so not having an altimeter doesnt really matter.

Amazing battery life, I charge it ever 8th day Calorie measuring is a little wonky

Ordered this the day it came out and still use it 2 years later. Lightweight, stays on, and syncs with any phone. The app is great and along with the advanced tracker, it really helps get an idea of your overall body patterns like steps per day, heartrate, calories burned, zone minutes, sleep patterns, etc.

Needed a simple watch that could help me track heart rate and have a timer to wake me up in mornings. This does what I need. Battery life is good for my use. Last about a full week.

This is my 3rd charge tracker. Each one better than the prior one. Watch and health. Very satisfied with this tracker.

I never wore a watch and thought I might hate this but it was small and comfortable and not distracting. More features than I need or want but the ones I did want work well and are easy to use. So far, battery life is around 6 days but I'm not a heavy user (using / checking functions all day long).

This watch is lightweight and sleek, and it has worked great. It keeps up with notifications, steps, and heart rate. It looks good on my arm.

It is simple to use and provides accurate information.

I had a Charge 5 that became unresponsive maybe after a couple of years. The FitBits are pricey compared to some other trackers but I didn't want to have too big of a disruption so I just opted to replace my previous watch with the next one. The two versions look virtually the same physically and the new one uses the same app and the same watch themes so no difference there. Main changes I noticed were that the list of trackable activities is more of a dynamic list (sorted by recent use) than a fixed list that you manage from the app. Also, the Charge 6 has actual side buttons to push in addition to being able to touch the screen. Other than that, I don't use too many other features to compare. The app was able to swap in the new watch practically seamlessly. Now just have to see how long the battery lasts on this one.
