Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I had a apple watch ultra 2 and I personally prefer this over that due to the size and the battery last longer in my opinion

Love the Charge 6. Nice size, easy to read, reliable battery. It works for my needs.

looks great and charge last forever compared to pixel watch. wear it daily to swim and never any issues.

Absolutely love my Fitbit and the one has so many options. It's perfect for what I want and need.

I upgraded from a charge 5. Even though I loved it my new charge 6 is even better.So easy to set up and a lot more features. I have no problems using it or understanding what it does.

Works great, I like the Narrow yet visible watch face. It feels less bulky and lighter than a smartwatch and easily readable to view my stats. I do suggest taking it off every 3-4 days to allow your wrist to breath. Also be careful swimming in it as I drowned a previous version even though it has swimming as an exercise. Overall I really enjoy my Fitbit.

This is an amazing product. Got one for my wife and I. It really motivates us to walk, bike and exercise. We love it and should have purchased it sooner.

I have had Fitbit for almost 10 years. I have replaced mine at least 7 times in that period. The Charge3 was my longest time with the product. I used to swim everyday. It was also reliable with sending notifications to my phone. The 4 was also replaced multiple times because it dies. I have replaced the Charge5 4 times. 2 of those were because the bands won't stay latched to the watch. If you don't notice it fall at the time, it's gone. If you do notice it fall, you're lucky if the screen doesn't crack. I have had this purchase 130 days. It has fallen off almost daily. Today, I didn't see it. I keep replacing it because I own multiple bands. I believe this was the last time. The Charge 5 has also not been reliable with getting notifications on my Android phone. The one I had in December got notifications sometimes. The most recent one does not get notifications if I change the clock face. I have not showered or taken mine swimming since the Charge 4. I long for the old reliable models.

It was good not just because of its look, it fits perfectly for the whole family starting from age 8 to age 40. That is the uniqueness of this fitbit and model. Look was so good and it never gave any complaint.

Works well for tracking workouts. Looks nice for cost.

Love my Fitbit, I bought my Charge 5 with insurance. It conked out a year into the 2years. I bought the 6 cause I didn't want to give up logging my steps while I waited for a replacement. But thankfully the Charge 5 came soon. So I switched back to Charge 5 for now, but am keeping this Charge 6 and will happily move to 6 when the 5 goes. They were really responsive when I put the claim in and sent the replacement dongle very quickly. So I highly recommend the insurance when you buy. Actually, I can switch back and forth I think because they are different colors and bands. The battery life on the Charge 6 is better it seems. Anyway I love it.

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!!

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.

Love mine! My third fitbit, good battery life, the previous lasted 5 years Attractive, available in a range of finishes. If you want to wear as a watch, I recommend getting two. They seem to do best with breaks off the arm for a bit.

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.

Easy to use and charge lasts longer than expected and quick to charge

Works great but need new bands because of allergic reaction.

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.

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).
