Fitbit Charge 6 Review

The Fitbit Charge 6 ensures that Fitbit remains at the summit of the fitness tracker world, with minor tweaks to the design.

Improved design with side button return ; Google services are welcome additions ; Sleep and health tracking both shine

GPS performance is very poor ; Sports tracking is basic ; Some features locked behind Fitbit Premium

The Fitbit Charge 6 is the go-to fitness tracker for those who want accurate daily tracking, rock-solid sleep monitoring, and advanced health features for a reasonable price, with Google integrations making the proposition more attractive than ever....

Fitbit Charge 6 review: A fun but flawed modern fitness tracker

The Fitbit Charge 6 is Fitbit's most advanced band-style fitness tracker. It has more features than the charming Fitbit Luxe, and even a few extras which the Fitbit Versa 4 lacks. In a certain light, the Fitbit Charge 6 seems like a shrunk-down,...

Feature-packed for a fitness band Decent battery life Can relay your heart rate to some gym equipmen

Severely flaky GPS No altimeter Heart rate accuracy not the b

The Fitbit Charge 6 is an unobtrusive fitness band with a wide spread of features. It has an ECG heart health reader and full GPS, making it second only to the Fitbit Sense 2 in some ways. However, we can’t really recommend it to those looking for a...

Fitbit Charge 6 review: practically a Pixel band

The Charge 6 seemed like a return to form. It's $20 cheaper than the Charge 5, with a better heart rate tracking algorithm, more Google services, and — for the first time — gym equipment integration. The Fitbit app was redesigned this fall. These are...

Solid fitness and health tracking feature set It’s $20 cheaper! Adds more apps Can broadcast HR to fitness equipment The haptic button is better than the groove

YouTube Music is the only option and that’s $11 monthly The Fitbit-Google transition is a lil bumpy It’s not a physical side button

But aside from price, for the Charge 6 to make sense, you have be willing to bet that Google’s vision for wearables can succeed. So far, I’ve seen mixed signals. On the one hand, Google continues to invest in wearables, making small updates throughout...

Fitbit Charge 6 Review

The Fitbit Charge has long been among the most value-rich fitness trackers, and the sixth-generation model extends that legacy. The $159.95 Fitbit Charge 6 builds upon its predecessor with 40 exercise profiles for workout tracking, along with a new...

Affordable 40 exercise modes (up from 20) Connects to exercise machines Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music apps Helpful side button Excellent mobile app

No Spotify controls No app store Some metrics require a Premium subscription

With modest improvements over the last generation, including new Google lifestyle apps, Bluetooth integration with gym equipment, and a refreshed companion app, the affordable Fitbit Charge 6 remains the best fitness tracker on the market.Affordable 40...

Review: Fitbit Charge 6

With the Fitbit Charge 6, you can now get Google Maps directions and Google Wallet contactless payments on your wrist.

Long battery life. Affordable. Full suite of health metrics. Accurate heart rate tracking. New Google integrations! Directions with Google Maps. Contactless Pay with Google Wallet. YouTube music controls.

No fall detection. Bluetooth connection frequently glitched. Doesn't always automatically recognize exercise activities.

Fitbit Charge 6 review: It’s fantastic

Sleek, fitness elegance, in a lightweight form factor, with a chef's kiss from Google

Up to 7 days of battery life ; Lightweight, sturdy, and comfortable ; Affordable price ; User-friendly ; Excellent fitness and health tracking

Limited to quick replies to texts

Sleek, stylish, ultra-lightweight, durable, and packed with so many health and fitness benefits, I barely remembered it’s also a good smartwatch.

Fitbit Charge 6 Review: More Google on Your Wrist

The Charge 6 is a solid fitness tracker, but you'll need a number of subscriptions to get the most out of it.

Great battery life ; Heart rate broadcast support ; Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation ; The button is back!

No altimeter for elevation tracking ; Music controls need a subscription ; Biggest heart rate accuracy improvements only on 3 workout types

The Fitbit Charge 6 is a lightweight fitness tracker with a bright AMOLED screen, GPS and its battery lasts way longer than your average smartwatch...

Affordable ; Very lightweight, comfortable to wear ; Longer battery life than a smartwatch ; Great for sleep tracking ; Improved heart rate sensor

GPS tracking has big issues ; Raise-to-wake gesture works only sometimes ; Charging cable uses older USB-A ; Some data hidden behind $10 monthly Fitbit Premium sub ; No weather info ; No offline music playback

Fitbit Charge 6 review: a brilliant tracker, now with more Google

The Fitbit Charge 6 is easily one of the top trackers available right now. The upgrades made on the Fitbit Charge 5, namely the re-addition of a side button and the Google apps, have made an already great fitness tracker even better. If you're trying...

Comes with Google Maps and Wallet Includes a physical side button Improve heart rate monitor accuracy Stream HR to Peloton, NordicTrack, and Tonal machines

Doesn't support Spotify Tracking still limited in certain sports modes

The Fitbit Charge 6 brings a physical side button and new exercise modes to the company's latest top-tier tracker. And, thanks to Google's acquisition of Fitbit, the tracker has Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music built-in. It's a brilliant...

Fitbit Charge 6 Review

The Fitbit Charge 6 is a simple and affordable GPS tracker, perfect for those prioritizing basic features. Its small display isn't ideal for detailed data, so it functions better as a tracker than a watch. The Fitbit mobile app is user-friendly,...

Simple setup Sleek design Super lightweight Affordable

Small screen Difficult to read

The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the most simple GPS trackers in our lineup, and it's great for those who want the basics without a huge price tag. The small display isn't great at displaying data, so this model should be viewed more as a tracker and not...
