Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Fitbit Charge 6 is a huge improvement on the older Fitbit I had for a few years. Battery life is decent and Charge 6 offers a very broad range of health tracking features like heart rate and sleep tracking. The screen is clear and bright. My only issue is the tapping does not work as it should at times. Overall, am glad I upgraded to the Charge 6.

Love it. Helps me regulate my sleep apnea and keep track of physical activity

Wasn't happy at all with a galaxy smart watch. It was uncomfortable to wear. Battery life sucked. The Charge 6 tracker looks great on. Can't even tell I have something on my wrist, it's sooooooo comfy!

Mu daughter loves this fitbit. It meets all the requirements that she wants

Bought for my dad for Christmas and he loves it!! Simple to use and accurate readings.

Having heart problems and it helps me keep track of heart rate. also keeps track of my sleep.

Had to exchange my original Charge 6 because it only kept charged for less than 2 days. My new one can go almost a week. Thanks for making the switch.

My bad. I admit it... See, my current FitBit 4's screen had died and I was in a hurry to get a replacement. Didn't even think to check. Understand, this is my third Fitbit Charge... and I made the (incorrect) assumption that this natural progression in the Charge series (3, 4, [I never got a 5 or you might be reading this same kind of review earlier...]) would be *about* the same as the earlier ones I owned. Maybe some improvements because that's the way this stuff used to work, right? WRONG! I never even considered the possibility that they would take away what I had considered to be the only thing that set it apart from other 'step counter' and heartbeat monitor devices... The ability to track elevation ('floors') and still keep the same "Charge" name. Good job, Google... You got me. <sigh> In a world where companies actually cared about customers, they might give a model with a radical change in functions a different name. Even something as simple as "Charge X Lite" ... well, not that exactly but something along those lines "Charge 6 Budget" "Charge 6 Econ" something to alert people that these new and (not) improved) Charge-s, while seemingly in the same lineage (3, 4, ...) are different. But that would probably hurt sales, right? Who knows, maybe it would have helped sales of a more expensive version with the 'floors' feature. I hope you don't think I'll buy another one with an altimeter/barometer. Not going to happen. In fact, this will be the last Fitbit/Google tracking product that I purchase. New brand in 3 years (or am I dreaming that a Google product could possibly last that long.... After all, planned obsolence is good for Google ... And what's good for Google is good for...well, if not America, then at least our digital overlords, I guess). As for the alleged 'improvements,' the watch GPS is cludgy, an energy hog, and overly complicated. I quickly discovered it is best to default to using the phone GPS... The EDA scan is a truly useless gimmick, there, I suspect, solely as ploy to try to upsell you to premium 'breathing exercises' content (Spoiler alert... Don't do it... they suck... Want breathing exercises? get a dedicated meditation app!). I would gladly sacrifice the gimmick eda-scan-upsell silliness for an altimeter, however (below) average it may perform. On the plus side, the screen is bright and readable in any light. After years of learning to give up on trying to see anything on the Charge 4 screen, I have to remind myself that this screen is actually acceptable. And the "Find Phone" function is useful. Every week seems to be a new problem... As reported elsewhere, the app would sometimes crash when attempting to view (post-workout) the map of a walk tracked on the app ... On more than one morning, I have encountered grossly inaccurate (too high) heart rate. I wear a second tracker for accurate altitude (suunto) on my right wrist. So when fitbit reported a heart rate at double the actual rate, I knew the Fitbit had problems. Searched on-line and sure enough, a known issue. I had to reboot multiple times to get it right. (and the reboot via charging cable is stunningly user-unfriendly... Do you people even know how the average person charges things... You place the button in an almost impossible to reach position unless it is alone in a USB port/jack. Really dumb). The Out of Control Heart Rate Issue started when I was (foolishly) trying to use the EDA scan (my bad... Seriously, we should be given the option to disable the Useless EDA Scan). Suspect the heart rate reading fail is related to stunningly cheap/inadequate hardware design and production issues. And finally, after all these years, you'd think somebody there could fix the app so that it stops announcing the average and split pace as the same for each 'lap' (Average Pace AND Split Pace are generally NOT the same thing!... Sheeesh).

I would purchase this watch again. It is very comfortable and perfect size.

It works as advertised. Only concern is washing my hands and getting it wet. You start to compete with yesterday.

Love this watch. Dependable and durable. My second one of this model

I have enjoyed using this item. I used it to replace a Charge 5. The main attraction for me was the display that I can read in bright sunlight.

bought this for my sister for her birthday and she loves it I have been using a fitbit watch for a few years not and i would recommend one for anyone who doesnt have on it is amazing

Charge 6 works fine. The people at Best Buy in Stillwater were knowledgeable, courteous and very helpful in setting up and instructing how to use the device.

Requires an initial setup. Does not work until the setup is complete. This is a bad thing because the setup requires a lot of work. Once setup this is a great tool for activity recording. This has a lot more tools then the older fitbits I have used and good displays both on the watch face and on the application on a PC. Although the battery life is very long, it would be nice if is was replaceable.

Amazing battery life, I charge it ever 8th day Calorie measuring is a little wonky

My daughter had a Fitbit charge 5 that she lost. I got her this charge 6 for Christmas, and she loves it. She is very impressed with all it features and functionality. Her only complaint (about both the charge 5 and charge 6) is that the rubber wristbands irritate her skin when she is active and sweats, so she buys woven fabric bands instead. Probably the same issue with all fitness trackers.

Purchased it for my 72-year old mom and she absolutely loves it. She has a heart condition, so she loves that she can track her heart rate, oxygen levels, etc. Plus, it encourages her to exercise. She loves the motivation alerts when she hits new walking milestones!

Easy purchase. Great battery life, the screen hasn't taken any scratches despite being bumped around, the features work well. I was having a hard time deciding between all the different fitness trackers out there, but I'm glad I went with this one. It's reliable and helps me have more productive workouts - the phone notifications are a nice added bonus!

I've worn a Charge 4 for a few years, and really loved it. Unfortunately, the watch broke where the band would connect to it, so, I figured it was time for a new one. I tried to get another Charge 4, but couldn't find one. I didn't like the display on the Charge 6, but that was what was available, so I went with it. I've gotten used to it, but still don't like it. Also, the band is annoying to connect. The Charge 6 has the basic functions that I need, but most of the rest are irrevelant to me. So, in my book it's just "okay".
