Fitbit Charge 6 In-Depth Review: 12 New Things to Know!

Thank you so much for making sections in the video. That makes it very easy to go to the part I want to know more about.

Bought this watch for my Girlfriend for her birthday. These videos are great :) I find if I don't make here watch video before using a new watch or she does not use all the functions or pass them up lol. In the end she does ask for help. I watch them too before opening the box. Great video

Thank you for the encryption explanation! It's been frustrating the heck out of me on a Karoo 2 and Garmin bike computer.

I can feel those 5h and 30m of sleep xD Good work on your video, it's very informative

Thanks for the great review, especially the splitting with dedicated chapters (just jumped to the relevant ones)

TY! I appreciate the details that Fitbit didn’t provide. I’m upgrading and wanted to make sure it does the main things I like. Which are my steps, heart rate and sleep monitoring. Everything else is icing on the cake…

Great review! I got it and I loved it. It is great because I was so tired of watches that track your sleep but you have to charge every night. This last 7 days, I can pay that is a feature hard to find in bands and I like it and I have very good sleep and sport tracking. love it

I have been using Fitbits for years. The Charge 6 is the only one that is poor at tracking sleep. The band gives me welts on my wrist. Hopefully, I can reset—get a new band—and make this work!

Thanks Ray. Great job again

Was happy with my Charge 5 for nearly 18 months when the battery decided to go dead in two days vs. the previous six days life on a full charge. Fitbit was happy to offer me a 50% discount if I would buy a new tracker from them. Of course their offer excluded the now Charge 6 which is what I would've purchased. Would buy one of their smart watches if they had local music capability - I won't pay a monthly fee to have music on my smart watch. I guess it is time to take a serious look at the competition.

Great video! Lots of pertinent info.

I went ahead and grabbed one a couple of days after it came out. Was a little unsure since there weren't many reviews on it at that point, but I was looking for something more accurate in tracking heartrate/calories burned than my previous Versa 4 and Amazefit GTR 4. I had a Charge 5 as my first fitness tracker, which I liked, but I had wanted something with a slightly bigger display since my eyes have never been the greatest. Was a little unsure on that point, but so far I've been really happy with the Charge 6. It does have the magnify feature, so that solves the smaller display issue that I had with it, and the heartrate and calories tracking seem to be a lot more accurate, or at least consistent, than both the Versa and Amazefit. I mostly work out indoors, and when I do go for walks (my only real outdoor exercise), I always have my phone with me so the GPS accuracy isn't a concern. So far I'm really happy with the band, and I was even able to save a little bit off the msrp by trading in my old Charge 5 (that was just sitting around) to Best Buy when I bought the Charge 6.

Thanks. Very useful and dynamic.

Good review

Thankyou for the review. Watching this as my mums fitbit charge 2 battery just died after 6 1/2 years of use. The 7day charge for it was pretty accurate. Did have to replace the band, but otherwise pretty good. Just wondering if charge 6 has the build quality of the 2?

For sleep tracking, does this only track your hours slept and give you a sleep score? Does it break down your light and deep sleep, REM, etc.?

I've had so many Fitbit devices. I'm still using the charge 5 but when this one glitches up or fails to the points that's it no longer serves its purpose I'm not sure what I'm going to go with but it's definitely not going to be the Fitbit brand! I suppose if you replace them before you have problems your experience is probably different. The problems I have are more related to the watches freezing up or like my latest issue. The screen is continuously getting dimmer and Fitbit just keeps telling me to factory reset it which does nothing. They refuse to acknowledge that there is or ever was a problem. I understand buying a new one if you want new features or if the battery goes to heck after the warranty.. but I still get a good 5 days out of the battery but I can't read the screen so I might as well just be wearing the fitness tracking ring.. except I'm not paying a subscription for that so I'm not sure what I'm going with but my point is I'm no longer a fan of Fitbit and suggest others look elsewhere as well unless you plan on buying a new model every year or two.

Dose the gps effect knowing how far (distance) you've ran or walked?

Thanks

Why can’t I get the volume to work for it to ring on wrist or the text notices? All the settings are set on on?
