Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

I came from the Apple watch, but found I was not really using all the features on it. I also did not enjoy wearing it as much because the battery life lasted me about a day-day and a half without charging and I was not comfortable sleeping with it on my wrist for sleep tracking because of how bulky it felt. I wanted something that was light to wear, tracked my workouts, gave me the time, was water resistant, and wanted something that was easy to use without having to figure out system settings. Before deciding on a tracker, I considered the Garmin Instinct, Instinct 2, Pixel Watch, Fitbit Versa 4, and Fitbit Sense 2. I ended up buying this and this watch has been a game changer for me. Since I started using this watch, I have been able to track my sleep because of how light it feels on my wrist but also because the battery life on this is great. I can get about 5-7 days (depending on usage) that I can squeeze before having to recharge. This is great because sometimes I forget to charge or don't want another thing to charge. Most times, I just want my watch to be a watch and don't want/need a big screen or all the extra apps on my wrist. Fitness tracking works great and the notifications are simple, but enough for me to know of any new messages that are coming through if I am away or cant look at my phone. The touch screen works well with the swipe navigation and the watch is light and looks sleek. The only con I have about this watch is that it does not allow you to change your music app. So, in this case, youtube music is the only music app that it allows you to access from the watch itself. If you have a subscription to YT music, then this might be less of a problem. If you don't have a YT music subscription, then it might be a bit of a bummer not being able to use this especially if you are not looking to pay for a subscription. When I had a free trial to YT Music though, it was nice being able to skip, raise the volume, and change artists from my watch. This is not a deal breaker not having this for me, but I wanted to mention it. Overall, I am loving this Fitbit and am happy that I went with it. I would recommend this !

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.

I bought this for my mom to track heart health issues after a heart attack, it gives her all information she needs to keep track of, she wrars it daily and loves it.

I wear both a Fitbit and a Garmin for different reasons. Up until this Fitbit I would have said the Garmin is a better watch but with its recent update has literally become a Nanny instead of a fitness watch. I believe the Fitbit gives more accurate results as far as the new health statists. I am very pleased at how it tracks exercise automatically, whereas with the Garmin you have to start it, and sometimes it doesn't start correctly the first time so you miss tracking an exercise. Also, the Garmin seems to be programmed to think that everyone requires the same number of hours sleep and if you are not getting that many hours will literally tell you to rest if you try to start an activity. The Fitbit seems to recognize that people have different sleeping patterns and more accurately detects various sleep stages. There was a time when I would have said that the Garmin should be the choice for people who exercise regularly and do a lot of running and hiking, I am finding that the Fitbit is surpassing the Garmin. I have not yet tried the GPS features of the Fitbit and still use the Garmin to track my hikes but plan to test that soon and frankly if the Fitbit does well on that feature I will no longer have a reason to buy another watch.

Woks great and provides a lot of information re: activities.

Great fitness tracker. Easy to use, and it has all the essentials if you are interested in just fitness and health tracking. The tracker is worth the money.

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.

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.

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.

As a parent, guiding my child towards a healthy lifestyle is a top priority. That's where the Fitbit Charge 6 Advanced Fitness & Health Tracker comes into play, a gadget that has revolutionized not just my child's fitness routine but also our family's approach to health. Right out of the box, the Charge 6 impresses with its sleek, kid-friendly design. Its lightweight profile and comfortable strap mean my child barely notices it's there. Whether it's worn in school or during soccer practice, it's tough enough to withstand the rough and tumble of kid activities. The Charge 6 is a powerhouse of features. The step counter and activity tracker keep my kid motivated, turning daily movements into a fun challenge. Its heart rate monitor is impressive, ensuring we stay informed about his cardiovascular health, a crucial aspect for his age. With an impressive battery life, the Charge 6 stays with my child through a week of school and sports without needing a charge. Its durability is another major plus, having survived numerous drops and bumps. Beyond tracking, the Charge 6 has been an educational tool, teaching my child about the importance of physical activity and healthy living. It's sparked discussions about heart health, the importance of sleep, and staying active, invaluable lessons for a growing child

This is easy to use and comfortable and the batteries last long long time. The display is easy to read, and it's very stylish without being too large. The magnetic charging cable is very convenient. it linked to my phone easily and seems to update on a regular basis.

My Fitbit Sense died after a few years so I thought I’d try the Charge 6 as it had the same health tracking features and was $100. cheaper. Really happy with it. Holds a charge for 6 or so days and I like that it’s a bit smaller. I don’t use my it (or used the sense) to get messages or pay for things - really just use it for health tracking and I’m very happy with it.

This is my first Charge 6, but I have gone through several Charge 5s. Fitbit does a good job of tracking things I care about - heartrate, steps, zone minutes, cals. I wear mine 24/7 and they tend to last a year to year and a half before inevitably dying. Hoping the Charge 6 holds up a bit longer than the 5s did!

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.

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

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.

The Fitbit Charge 6 is the best fitness tracker I have used. Great features, easy to use, outstanding data output to analyze heart, sleep and exercise.

I've had my Charge 6 for a year now (and a Charge 5 previously that I lost in a field), and I'm really happy with it. My needs are pretty simple... basic fitness tracking and notifications from my smartphone. That's it. I've tried full smartwatches before and haven't seen much value in them; the Charge does fitness tracking pretty well, the UI is pretty intuitive, and the battery life is excellent. Easily 7-8 days on a charge with regular daily workouts and occasional GPS tracking for runs. Admittedly, the aspect ratio and size don't make it very useful for actually "reading" notifications, but it's enough to know that I got one and then I can check my phone. It's held up really well after a year; the battery is still great and there's minimal wear on the device itself, although it's definitely time for a new wristband. It's a shame that Google probably won't release anymore fitness trackers and will push everyone to the Pixel Watch.
