Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my favorite Fitbit that I have purchased. I have owned close to a dozen total Fitbits over the years. This is my 3rd or 4th of the Fitbit Charge 6. They only last me roughly 6 months. The one I had last purchased died, It was the first of all ever purchased that was covered by warranty. The Google warranty had me send it back, they stated they would send me a new one once they received it. I was heading out on a trip and track my steps daily. So, I could not wait, and purchased this one from Bestbuy with the Bestbuy warranty. So, when this one dies, I'll take it to Bestbuy and hope to get it replaced in less than the 2 full weeks it took Google to send me my replacement.

I think the overall use is great. I like the slim profile. My wrist is on the larger side so I always use the large bands. Sometimes I have sync problems between the Charge 6 and my phone. Usually corrected by restarting both devices. After having the device for about a year and a half the charging is not working. The connection points to the charge wear off. Not much can be done to fix it. Just have to replace it.

I’m upgrading from a Charge 5 to this under unique circumstances where this one is significantly more worth it for me to have. For one I ACTUALLY use YouTube music primarily, and I am immediately loving the music controls that this gives me when I’m listening (does suck for everyone who uses Spotify or Apple Music). I like the google maps integration and how it tells you where to go next, I think I will probably try that out on my next big bike ride when I get a chance, will see how that goes and will come back if I think of anything notable to add on that. Finally, time will tell how reliable the fitness device HR connectivity will tell, I will be trying it on my Peloton, will come back and update if I have any substantial problems with connecting it. Main downside? As other reviews particularly on Amazon would tell you, ease of connectivity during setup seems to be inconsistent. I was able to get mine to successfully connect after several rounds of restarting the tracker and my phone, but it did take me about 20 minutes. If you have trouble like I did, reset the Fitbit in the setup phase - use the included charging cable that has a button on it and press the button 3 times with about a second in between presses (you should feel/hear the Fitbit respond to the button press). You’ll know it reset successfully if you see the Fitbit logo reappear. Once it connected, I haven’t had problems with it disconnecting yet (again, will come back and update if this changes).

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.

Great to track my sleep habits and steps love being able to connect to my I phone

Battery lasts me roughly a week at a time, calorie count seems to be fairly accurate, usually undercutting slightly during exercise but I do suspect overall it over counts bmr by a bit. Its pretty comfortable for the most part but every once in a while I have to adjust it constantly and eventually just have to take a break from it for a few hours, but this is normally after wearing it for several days straight, only taking it off to make sure its clean and to shower. Havent really had anything happen to test the durability much but I have smacked it into a few things and the watch itself is still spotless. Seems to be built from decent quality materials, and overall I am happy with it. More options for watch faces would be nice.

Easy to use, very practical for daily exercises for regular people

Works great, but band is awful. Gets real stinky/smelly, and leaves my skin the same. Invest in a better band!

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 wanted to share my experience with the Fitbit Charge 6 as part of a promotion. I must say that my experience has been positive so far. This is the best Fitbit I have owned to date. Once you download the app on your phone, it helps you to start a new way of life by tracking your heart rate while you sleep, reminding you to move if you sit still for too long, and helping you reach your daily goals such as steps. I am still discovering all the features of this device, and the list seems endless. I would recommend it if you are looking for a fitness tracker or health assistant. The only disadvantage I found is that it does not measure blood pressure, which my old one did. The battery lasts for 3 to 4 days, depending on how much you use it and for what purpose. The charger is magnetic and awesome."

Nice size, screen easy to read. Like easy access to all settings. Lightweight - I forget I have it on. Did have to buy other wristbands as those that came with it were uncomfortable. Like charger cord

So happy to have a Fitbit again after having an Apple Watch!! Love that it looks more like a bracelet too. Longgggg batter life too

Nice Fitbit! Haven't had any issues. The Charger 6 is great, and the battery life appears to be good. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

After my Charge 5 died I purchased the Charge 6. I am very pleased with its features, and find it easy to track my activities. I like the narrow wristband, which makes it comfortable to wear.

The Fitbit Charge 6 is a fantastic fitness tracker that’s packed with health features in a slim, comfortable design. Tracking is accurate and consistent for steps, heart rate, sleep, and workouts, and the touchscreen is bright and easy to use. Battery life comfortably lasts multiple days, and the variety of health insights and guided workouts keep you motivated. It’s a great all-around choice for anyone serious about tracking daily activity and improving wellness.

Helps me to keep fit. The next gen features in the new product Fitbit - Charge 6 are awesome. Charging lasts for long time. Very light feel when you are wearing the device

Absolutely The Best Charge Yet!! The battery life is incredible. Accuracy is awesome. Weight is non existent - and comfortable enough to sleep in every night. I do have the sports band which has holes for best breathability.

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.

Extremely pleased with the Charge 6, a big improvement over the Charge 4 that served my needs for several years. The features on the Charge 6 are intuitive and easy to navigate.

I bought the charge 6 to replace a charge 5 I liked but the screen cracked and no longer worked. It is great for steps, sleep info, heart rate etc. I wished the watch came with more info on setting it up, but that is the norm for phones, watches etc. It does not make calls or get emails, but that is not what I was looking for. I bought it as an open box item and it looked new to me.
