Charge 6

Feel like hot garbage, and disappointed with my fitness tracker; charge 6 only a month old. sleep score 55 but ready for the day apparently

I have to constantly remove, uninstall, re-pair, re- setup this thing once a month. And usually have to mess with it for hours to get into work again EVERY SINGLE TIME I CHARGE IT.

Wtf is with this garbage???

All I want to do is track my sleep. But noooooo.

My old versa was near bulletproof. (

It's been 3 years since Charge 6. I swapped to the Helios band when my Fitbit broke. I tried the Whoop first, but it was way too expensive to justify keeping it. I miss having time and heart rate visible on my wrist. I don't want the Air unless it's offering something completely differentiating from

I got a Charge 6 last year because it appeared to hit the sweet spot of a fitness tracker that had a few of the key smart watch features (clock, timer, notifications, google pay, etc) while also having heart rate and (importantly) wasn’t gigantic.

Immediately after purchasing it, I was disappointe

It’s been hit or miss for awhile now. Which suck because that to me is FitBits best feature and what has kept me with the brand. I’ve said this before and I guess I’m saying it again, unless things get better, I’m likely doing either the Apple Watch or Garmin when my Charge 6 finally dies.

I've already tried uninstalling the app, factory resetting my watch, clearing cache, rebooting my phone, turning on/off Bluetooth, etc. Nothing works.

It's been like this for a couple weeks where the app won't sync with the watch. I'll try to force it to sync by pulling down on the screen, but just

GPS is a power hog on the Charge 6—if you carry a phone, then you can set the Charge 6 to communicate with the phone for GPS, which will save a lot of battery life on the watch (phones have much bigger batteries, so the GPS drain is not so bad there). If you have a lot of ectopic heart beats, the Fi

Fitbit took away the desktop/browser app, which allowed data analysis on a large screen. Whoop still has that, and this advantage makes the subscription worth it. Right now, I'm wearing both Whoop and Charge 6 and making comparisons. It's SO MUCH easier to browse the heart rate data with Whoop and i

They’re just not as accurate as actual medical devices. None of my cardiologists over the past couple of years felt like the Charge 6 data had any value in medical. I was advised that they can give me an idea or estimate but that I shouldn’t necessarily believe it, if I questioned a heart rate as be

Used to have a Fitbit Charge 4 and absolutely loved it. After mine broke (around 2022) I haven’t used any fitness tracker since and I’d like to get one again. I only found out about Google discontinuing Fitbits after already placing an order for the Charge 6 (though it hasn’t shipped yet, I can stil
