Posted .Hi, Jabra7pro. We appreciate your feedback. Fitbit Charge 6 is a wrist-based motion sensor, it may add extra steps whenever your arms are moving, even though your body isn't. To get better step tracking, please ensure your wrist placement setting is aligned with how you wear your tracker. We suggest fixing your hand settings to "Dominant" to decrease its step counting sensitivity. For more info and tips on how to best improve your tracker's accuracy, please check out: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1136.htm

Fitbits just don't last

Fitbit is unreliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked well for one year and then stopped working suddenly. Fitbit did not assist or make the process easier.

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.

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.

Roll the dice,it's only money, buy again next year
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fitbits blow. The predecessors and the Charge 5, 6 only last about a year until they stop working, or fitbit decides to brick them with an update. You can count on that. The app is meh and is ridiculously overpriced for premium data. They are however, the most comfortable to wear.

2 in a week- STAY AWAY!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute crap. I've ordered 2 of these, both are broken and will not hold a charge. I've went online, youtube, google, and talked to 3 customer service representatives, HORRIBLE product, returning the 2nd tomorrow. Nobody can explain why this is happening, all of the plastic has been removed that they were shipped in. DON'T BUY! If you do make sure you get the warranty- you'll need it!

Know what you're buying
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DON'T GET IF YOU USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN YOUTUBE MUSIC!!!! If you want to workout with music playing from Spotify or Apple music, know that you can not change the track from your watch. On the other hand, this might be a great fitness tracker, but i immediately returned it after finding out you can only control YouTube music with it, not any other kind of music player. Very disappointing. Especially since Google is known to be the open os platform yet they force you to pay for music services through them to get the full experience of this health tracker.

Disappointed longtime user
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my fifth purchase of a Fitbit product. Likely my last. First I had to abandon (forced) my active Fitbit account and sign up with a gmail account that I never use and now don’t get my emails and notifications unless I check the mandatory gmail account. Not convenient. The durability of the device has not been as strong as previous models. Chaulk me up as a disappointed loyal user who does not support the manufacturer dictates and mandates to their products and platforms. Not a good customer experience.

Charge 6 - Inaccurate step count
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for a friend as an upgrade to a sub $50 sport watch. The Charge 6 looks great, and has more features than the less expensive watch, but it is less accurate in counting steps. A 100 step test with the cheap watch returned a 100 step count. The Charge 6 test returned 112. We changed the dominant hand setting to dominant to lessen sensitivity and the test resulted in 92 counted. I own a Versa 3, which I've found to be quite accurate. They need to fix the Charge 6.

Why call it a fitness tracker
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fitness tracker suppose to track your goals and progress.

Sleep tracker issuses unresolved
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased my Charge 6 mainly for tracking steps and sleep. Sleep data for the last 2 months has been wildly inaccurate and inconsistent. Fitbit support just keeps putting me off.

Posted .Hi there, Kthomas. We hear your concerns regarding not getting the most accurate readings from the Charge 6. Here are a few things to confirm to get the best results:
For step tracking:
Confirm your height and wrist settings are correct in the Fitbit app to get the best results. Since it uses height to estimate your walking and running stride lengths, you may want to measure and manually adjust these values if your legs are longer or shorter than average.
For sleep tracking:
1. Check if your sleep setting is set to Sensitive. If it is, change it to Normal.
2. For accurate sleep tracking, position your device 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone, ensuring a secure but comfortable fit.
3. To adjust a sleep session’s start or end time, edit it in the Fitbit app.

These devices are banned for kids under 13
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Turns out that this cannot be used for a kid under 13 as they're banned for privacy reasons, which is an awful thing to find out on Christmas. So now I have to trudge the thing back to the store and get maybe a Fitbit ACE for kids or something, but naturally they're not on sale anymore or anything. I'm rather miffed.
