Fitbit Charge 6 Fitness Tracker with Google Apps - Heart Rate on Exercise Equipment - 3-Month Google Health Premium Membership Included - Health Tools - Obsidian/Black - Small&Large Bands Included

The ultimate motivator! Completely changed my routine I absolutely love this fitness tracker. It has been the perfect motivator for my daily routine, getting me to consistently track my daily steps and calories burned with ease. The interface is clean, the stats are incredibly easy to read on the bright AMOLED display, and it is so lightweight that I completely forget I'm wearing it. If you need a reliable, feature-packed tool to jumpstart and monitor your fitness journey, this is it!

This is the third time I review this watch. First I gave it 2 stars. In the second I gave it 4 stars. Now I just changed to 5 stars. If you use it and work on its design, you are going to like it more and more. I just finish my first workout with it and I saw the data. it is impressive. It contains the graph of your heart rate during the whole time, broken into zones, your average HR, calories... (Even that I wore it only "one finger away" from the wrist, the data seems pretty accurate. Bottom line, If you put some time on it, setting it as you want, you will end up with a fantastic tool for giving you data about your activity, your exercise, your sleep, even your "readiness", "stress" etc. I keep my previous reviews below if you want to read them to see my transition from frustration, to acceptance and finally to happiness. I gave originally 2 stars because I was frustrated with this watch. But I would like to change to 4 stars because it is really an impressive piece of technology and you can do so much with it. If you buy it. be prepared to feel like an immigrant in a strange land. You will have to work a lot to set it up to your likings and erasing so many options you don't want. I used AI a lot (and I mean, a lot) to help me navigate on how to do things and spent a lot of time in it. But, after all this I am happy with the watch that I actually fell I redesigned. Below is a revised version of my first review. However, that you can do so much with it, is in itself a problem. Of course, you can use it very simply like a watch with one or two extra features, but this would be a waste of this watch. I see many problems with this watch. 1) As I already state it, it is very complicated dealing with it. 2) On top of this, it is clogged with commercials and excessive somewhat irrelevant information. It took me a lot of time to set the watch as I wanted and eliminate all the "junk" on it. 3) There is the issue of accuracy. It is supposed to be very accurate but because of the optical reading, the placement of the watch in your arm, the sweat... can change the reading for a good 20% (in strong exercise). It also can spike in its reading giving you very high values, etc. All watches have this problem but I thought this particular new model solved these issues satisfactorily. It did not. It is a big improvement though. I myself, most likely, will return this watch because it felt short in my expectations. The end: I kept it and I am quite happy with it even though, at times, I still have to count till 10.

I bought this to track my cardio on the spin bike at the gym. I'm on a long-term weight loss adventure and when you are counting calories and fighting for every pound accuracy matters so I thought I'd splurge and buy the name brand product. I'd previously had the Amaze-FIT and they were adequate except the battery dies after about a year and you have to replace it. The Charge6 has lots more bells and whistles and I was making some progress on my goals, I thought I'd treat myself. The first one was a lemon; the battery ran out before the day was over. I returned it, ordered a new one. It's really buggy. --The good: there are lots of extra bells and whistles, it tracks a lot of extra things like sleep and fitness readiness. As a pedometer it was accurate for me and it did a good job of tracking heartrate and exertion on the spin bike. --The not good: first, the ridiculous--the band attachment is fickle. I finally got annoyed with the smell of the plastic band and ordered an after-market band from a different brand. Didn't stay on so I put the old one back on and IT doesn't stay on. Luckily I lost enough weight I can use the smaller plastic band that came with the watch originally. Fingers crossed, that seems to be working. --THe CHARGING MAGNET. Good grief it's FRUSTRATING! It doesn't just snap and go; tonight I had to fiddle with it for about 3 minutes to get a decent connection. It's been more than once I've grabbed it and headed for the gym only to discover the dang thing didn't charge. It SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD! --If you have an older Android? Don't bother until you get an upgrade. It'll connect, but you'll burn another 2000 calories in frustration and animated swearing as you try to get your Charge, your phone and your headphones to all chat at the same time (hint: if you DO run in to this, you have to restart your phone AND your watch...just go for that, all the other fixes are wishful thinking). It's really frustrating. --It keeps wanting to connect to Google and give Google all your vital statistics. Girls, it tracks your monthlies too and if you live on a state that's taken interest in your fertility? I'd be nervous. --It supposedly tracks your stress levels; it tracks something, but it isn't your stress levels. It consistently tells me I'm having a chill day when in reality I'm one lazy wisecrack away from wanting to throttle strangers. I have no idea what it's measuring, but it's definitely not stress levels. There are things I really love about the thing: I think it's a great cheerleader when I have a really good workout. I like the little high-fives it gives me as I progress down the weight scale. But it's the things that should be no-brainers that it fails at and because this is the brand leader in fitness gadgets, it's extra disappointing that it doesn't live up to expectations. UPDATE: after 3 months of use, the whole thing crapped out. The screen suddenly ended up covered in lines and is now completely unreadable. And of course, there's no warranty. I'm so frustrated. I'm going back to the cheap knock-off versions. THEY at least last for a YEAR. Absolutely disgusted.

I've owed a couple of the under $50 fitness trackers and they aren't much. I bought the Charge 6 thinking it would be a little better, but I was actually blown away. It has really given me insight into my health and is very comfortable and easy to use. It's the best value for the money in a fitness tracker under $150. The ECG feature is really helpful and I've learned more about my health. I love the Fitbit Premium free trail. Not sure if I'll keep it after the 6 months, but very impressed so far. I would definitely buy again.

I bought this Fitbit just under two years ago, and I’ve been pleased with it. However I was disappointed to go to charge it this last weekend and while it started, it later shut off and wouldn’t charge. Completely dead. I thought maybe it was the cord, and ordered new ones, but they didn’t help. So, good product, but for the price I wish it would last longer.

Works very well tracking the things I want to track. Capable of tracking more functions than I’ll use. Easy to set up and use thru the app. Battery charge life has been great, going several days between charging.

Looks and works great, larger face which is easier to read than past models.

I've had experiences with Fitbit for quite some time now. I originally started with the Alta. It was great for what it was, but wished it could do more. Not long after, I moved onto a Charge 2. It mostly satisfied what I was looking for with what it offered compared to the Alta (heart rate tracking, bigger screen, navigating beyond touch, more screen real estate, etc). As much as I liked it, there were still some flaws. One of the biggest annoyances was how it would get disconnected and I'd miss notifications. That's when I went with the Apple Watch (Series 2) and haven't been back since. I had high hopes for the Charge 6 when it came out and was hoping Google would make big strides into improving what I remembered of the 2. It seemed to have all the checkmarks, except they took away the altimeter to count flights of stairs climbed. The first thing the product tells you to do when taking it out of the box is to open the Fitbit app to activate the Charge. I haven't opened the app in years so when I did, it told me to sign in. That's when I came to my first issue. My original Fitbit account is no longer valid. I was forced to migrate my account to Google and there was some issues when attempting. It wasn't very smooth and took 2 attempts. OK, after that we need to get the App to talk to the Fitbit. Which leads me to the second issue. For whatever reason, the Fitbit wouldn't connect to my phone. The App would recognize the Fitbit was nearby, but it wouldn't connect to it. I would open and close the app multiple times, along with toggling the bluetooth on/off on my phone, checking all permissions, and even restarting the phone. The app would see the device, so would the phone, but it just wouldn't connect. It finally connected after I upgraded my iphone to the newest ios (which was only one iteration newer and released a few days prior). I don't believe that's the true cause for my issue, but whatever. When the Fitbit connected, it then tried to upgrade it's firmware which lead to the third issue. The Fitbit needs to be near the phone while the firmware is downloading. The device couldn't have been more than 2 feet from the Fitbit, but the download would disconnect. The download takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, but it failed on my the first 2 times. It completed successfully on the third attempt and now I can finally start using it. Comparing this to my old Fitbits, the first thing is that the screen is beautiful. I like that it's smaller and a lot more refined than the Charge 2. I also like the fact that they have removed the character limit of text notifications (so I can see full message) and that I can go back to previous messages that were sent. This annoyed me before because what showed on the screen was only the last message truncated and if you didn't see it while it scrolled past, you can't see it anymore without pulling out your phone. You can see the past 10 notifications sent before it rolls over. I limit my notifications to only the basics like phone calls and text messages to maximize this functionality. The steps counter, sleep, and HR monitoring are what I would expect them to be. And the battery life is way better than an Apple Watch... I don't have to worry if I charged the watch the night before in order to use it. Unfortunately, the added functionality from Google is also stunted. You can't respond (preset responses) to messages unless you have Android. New functionality like to control Youtube music app requires a paid premium account. The touchscreen isn't that responsive, causing me to swipe multiple times or just not respond at all. But the final straw is the connectivity. Too many times I would miss notifications because somehow connectivity was lost and wouldn't re-establish. Usually a re-sync with the app would resolve this, but only after I noticed something was wrong. I really really wanted to like this device, but it would be too many compromises for this price. You can really see and feel the direction Google is taking with their acquisition, treating FitBit completely as secondary while incorporating the FitBit tech in their flagship Pixel watches. Especially with a $70 price cut a little over a month after release and them pulling Fitbit products from multiple countries. With all this, looks like I'll be upgrading to an Apple Watch Series 9 instead.

This is a fabulous tracker and with the new Google health app really informative would recommend

Muy práctico, exacto y amigable. Da mucha información para beneficio de la salud.

This closer-to-60-than-50 obese guy with Type 2 diabetes gets a call from his doctor saying "I need to see you sooner than later". My glucose levels are spiralling out of control. That triggered a need to get real data on what's happening with my body, especially the perception that my sleep cycles are suffering. I NEEEDED DATA! This particular Fitbit product went above and beyond expectations in terms of bio-feedback, especially in terms of a detailed break-down my no-sleep, REM, light-sleep & deep sleep stages each and every night. The food intake recording system in the app is as good as the paid service that Weight Watchers offers with a HUGE library of both grocery store (barcode lookups) and restaurant-menu items. And I can record my glucose levels in the app too. This is a TOTAL SYSTEM that truly feeds a data-oriented mind with EVERYTHING they need. The Fitbit device itself is easy to use and has USEFUL tools inside of it: a get-up-and-move-around reminder, timer, exercise distance/time/burn tracking, an actual ECG recorder (VERY KOOL), alarm, and real-time steps, calorie burn, BLUETOOTH messages from your phone (texts, call indicator, reminders, etc) WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT - huge ROI ** IF ** you learn to use it and max out its features to inspire healthier behaviors. It won't lose weight for you. It won't correct your blood sugars for you. BUT it won't lie to you either - figures don't lie but liars figure, right? It comes with a free PREMIUM membership for a year giving you all kinds of additional resources such as vast library of workout, medication and wellness resources. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED as long as you WORK IT!!! OH, and I've lost almost 10 pounds in 30 days WORKING IT - and I'll share that it's not because I exercised more. It's because I had REAL and TRUE data that showed my calories IN was more than calories OUT. It's my health dashboard now - just like in your car. I know when I'm going beyond the speed limit and I need to slow down or stop altogether.

Unable to charge on the 1st day after purchasing. Sent back with RMA but still cannot charge after replacement. worst charging design ever on a smart watch. Buy with caution!
