Do not buy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Read the reviews - the straps are as bad as people say. One of the key functions of a watch is remaining secure on your wrist. Will return and buy something else. Fitbit support is unhelpful.

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
I would recommend this to a friendDo not buy this watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my Charge 5 with the Charge 6. I need to check my heart rate while I'm exercising. This was never a problem with the 5 but the 6 only shows 2 dashes where the heart rate is supposed to be over 50% of the time. Also, there is a known problem with the Oxygen app. It is installed, but in the morning, when it is supposed to show my average overnight oxygen level, it says I need to install the app to use the feature

Posted .Hi there, Kenneth. 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.
Regarding not getting SpO2 data, there could be a few things impacting the readings:
1. Turning off any SpO2 clock face or app permissions can cause the feature to stop functioning.
2. You must get at least 3 hours of quality sleep. Data is only collected when you’re still. If you move a lot during your sleep or the sleep session is too short, you might not get SpO2 data.
3. Charge your Fitbit device to make sure it’s able to collect data throughout your entire sleep session. Note that you may have to charge your Fitbit device more often when using an SpO2 clock face or app.

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.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for the 3 weeks it lasted
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was great while it lasted, but that was a very short period of time! My husband bought this as a replacement for one that he got less than a year ago when it stopped holding a charge a few weeks ago, and then he had to replace this one yesterday after the screen stopped functioning for no reason. We moved to a different Fitbit style and are crossing our fingers that it's a bit more durable!

Fitness tracker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Useful, but lacks easy to use features. Unfortunately it doesn’t pair with the health app on my iPhone
I would recommend this to a friendHomevac
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish it had a longer hose for cleaning with attachments.
I would recommend this to a friendUnintuitive frustrating garbage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first few days trying to use this have been super frustrating... Defaults are very annoying (e.g., lights up when trying to sleep, vibrates every minute when you're walking), and trying to customize, set up, and work out how to do what should be things simple things like start a treadmill run are all far more painful than they should be. Immensely better experience with a $40 imitation (Xiaomi), which was also more functional and let you control spotify, etc.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot happy overall
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This fitbit charger 6 doesnt work any more. The battery life span was so horrible. It stopped wroking after a swim session. I wont recommend it to spend money on it.

poor pickup process
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.fit bit is fine, the pick up process after ordering online was poor, they rang up 5 customers in front of me while i waited and waited to be rung up in the online pickup line, total joke, will not return to best buy based on my experience there
No, I would not recommend this to a friendShould of bought another 5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an okay watch, but very disappointed that my Fitbit 5 bands don't work with it like it said they would!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSinking 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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUncertain 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.
