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...

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.

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: Comfortable and affordable, but one issue remains

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: To Buy or Not to Buy?

Fitbit's premium fitness tracker enters its sixth iteration with the Charge 6. nextpit reviews it to see if it's worth buying!

Nice design with a very good display ; Easy to wear and is comfortable ; Contains many fitness functions ; Finally able to pass vital data to third-party manufacturers

Battery life disappointed in the review ; Inaccurate GPS module with a 10% deviation ; Still too expensive and with a premium subscription ; Leaves "bite marks" on the wrist

Let's take a look back at the previous model: In Stefan's review, the Charge 5 revealed some weaknesses and only achieved a 3.5-star rating. He described it as a "fitness tracker that wanted too much". So this year, Google had the opportunity to...

Fitbit Charge 6 review: Familiar hardware, Googleified

Put a Charge 5 and Charge 6 side-by-side, and you couldn't tell them apart. It's all about the Google-branded smarts beneath the surface. Put a Charge 5 and Charge 6 side-by-side, and you couldn't tell them apart. It's all about the Google-branded...
