Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a good product, the display is clear and visible in full sun outdoors, which was something I was worried about. Occasionally I'm unable to sync the Fitbit with the mobile app. Also, the strap is made of plastic and not very comfortable especially when wet. But you can buy additional straps that are made of fabric, so I might do just that. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase.

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.

My daughter requested a FitBit. We chose this model because it has a small profile, but is fully-functional. She's an athlete (wrestling), and anything bulky would get in the way or be damaged.

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.

The person I gifted this with really likes it. It looks almost like a piece of jewelry and also provide all the smart functionality these kind of watches are renowned for.

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 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.

"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."

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.

It does everything I need it to. It has the latest and greatest health sensors like the more expensive watches but isn't bogged down with all the "Phone on your wrist" smartwatch stuff. It still does the basics though like notifications and such. The 7 day battery life is accurate.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Charge 6. The tracking is very accurate, and the seven-day battery life (six, if I'm using it heavily) is very impressive. If I had a gripe, it would be the lack of workout auto-detection, but considering this is now getting on for a few years as of 2026, it's not unexpected that that feature is lacking here.

Good watch and fitness tracker. The screen is not bad to view notifications despite the narrow face - you can see the gist of the message, and it's anyway not meant to be a full viewer of messages. Battery life lasts just about through the week. Its auto workout detection confused swimming as an elliptical, so I turned off elliptical detection and it worked to detect swimming. If you turn on swimming manually, it will not track heart rate, but will track laps; but if it autodetects swimming, it will track heart rate but not number of laps.

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.

Purchased as a Christmas gift. User loves it and has no complaints. Says battery life is decent and watch is stylish and not bulky.

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.

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.

Fitbit Charge 6 is all I was hoping it would be. a really nice upgrade.

This is my third model of Fitbit, and it's doesn't seem to perform quite as well as my last one (a Charge 2, I believe). The GPS seems to struggle to do an initial connect while I'm out on a walk, and the device will ask me whether I want to end my workout WHILE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. I also don't like that I can't find a simple digital "default" screen with the time on it WITH SECONDS like I had on my previous Fitbit. The battery life is okay, but seems to be slightly worse than my previous tracker, and charging the device takes a long time. The style of the standard band that comes with this product is a bit annoying, so depending on what you think of it, you might have to plan to buy a separate one to replace it. The app that goes along with this device is what's especially problematic, however, because every time Fitbit updates the app, they make things worse. The sleep info section is the latest victim of these "improvements" - what used to be a wealth of information, where you could see the exact time of night that you fell asleep, how long you were in REM or deep sleep (and when), etc. is now an unreadable chart that can't even be viewed in landscape/horizontal orientation on your phone. There are many negative reviews of the app in the Google app store, but it doesn't seem like Fitbit listens to that feedback. Overall, if you are just getting into fitness trackers, while Fitbit is the big name out there, I would actually hesitate before making it your tracker of choice. (And I got six months of free "premium" app access as a part of this purchase, but I still had these negative opinions of the app, so make of that what you will. I definitely won't be paying for premium access once the free months expire.)

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.

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
