Fitbit Charge 6
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This isn’t as great as I’d hoped. I’ve had older, cheaper Fitbits that worked better. This continuously drops off Bluetooth and the battery charge only lasts about 4 days.

Great device lackluster software
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works fairly well. I like the features on it but the Youtube Music integration is kind of annoying. Why not add Spotify? Good at keeping track of your health but locking features behind a paywall is also disgusting

This Fitbit won’t last
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quit working after 2.5 months. The warranty process is very complicated and not worth it. Junk!

Fitbit Charge 6
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The watch works much better than the previous models I have owned. I like the fitness tracking application. The charging mechanism is much improved. The watch face selection is poor. To get a better one you need to purchase the premium package. The basic watch band really “Basic.” You need to purchase better bands. To early to judge durability of this watch but previous generations lasted about 2 years before they band mechanism gave out and wouldn’t accept new bands. Charging is much easier with the magnetic clasp. Comfort will improve when I get a better band.

failures attempt
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not accurately record my heart rate. Exercised this morning and bpm was down to 60 which is impossible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from FitBit Team
Posted .Hi there, OLED. We hear your concerns regarding inconsistent heart rate tracking on the Charge 6 — we get how frustrating this is. Heart rate tracking accuracy is affected by your personal physiology, device placement on your arm, and the activity you're doing. Here’s a few tips to get better readings:
1. Wear your Fitbit device on top of your wrist with the back in contact with your skin. When not exercising, position it a finger's width above your wrist bone.
2. During exercise, wear it slightly tighter and higher for a snug fit that doesn't restrict blood flow, as this can affect the heart rate signal.
3. Frequent wrist bending during activities can also interfere with the signal if the watch is worn too low.

Best Buy vs. Amazon
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased from Best Buy to give business to brick and mortar retailers rather than on line with Amazon. The product was not suited to the recipient's needs and when I attempted to return was told it was past 15 days and I hadn't purchased a protective membership that would have extended the return to 60 days. Same product on Amazon would have a no hassle refund of 30 days. Future purchases won't be using Best Buy.

Falls off
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I should've listened to the reviews about the bands... Ive had it one day and its fallen off multiple times. Not the best connection on the band.

Sinking ship of fitbit under google
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good looking device, but the software support is garbage. Upgraded from charge 2, and impressed by the interface. however, Fitbit team (currently owned by Google) does not seem to provide enough software support on fitbit products. Experienced quite often bugs, such as data sync with the app and missing data. I am seeing a sinking ship of fitbit under Google.

Great, until you have to work out
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All times of the day, it tracks everything well. As soon as Im doing any work out it loses my heart rate. The time I need it the most and it NEVER tracks it during a workout. Ive had a major weight loss journey that has been made frustrating because I cant measure the intensity of my cardio workouts. Insanely frustrating.

Posted .Hi there, Mack. Sorry you’re having accuracy issues with heart rate on the Charge 6 — we get this is frustrating. Try these steps to make sure your device is working optimally:
1. Tighten the band so that it doesn’t slip on your wrist
2. Heart-rate tracking may not work with certain accessory bands, especially if they’re loose fitting
3. Use the Exercise app to record GPS data for your workout.
4. Intense arm movements can weaken your device's signal. If this occurs, relax and keep your wrist still for roughly 10 seconds.

Uncertain value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wrist band caused rash and itching. Changed to aftermarket breathable band which stopped the rash. The sleep detector has not been accurate, failing to provide correct hours of sleep. The step counter seems correct. The heart rate detector seems correct; however, I cannot tell if the atrial fib detector works since the hours of sleep appears incorrect.
