Customers are mixed about the performance of the wearable computer. Some mention that it does a great job, the watch parts work good, and it works alright for a fitness tracker. However, others say that it stopped working after 2 months, is clunky to use, and used to straight-up fail.

Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the wearable computer. Some mention that the sleep tracking is providing what they need, the heart rate monitor is accurate, and it monitors their heart rhythms.

Customers have mixed opinions about the ease of use of the wearable computer. Some find it simple to use and refreshingly simple, focusing solely on essential functions.

Customers have mixed opinions about the battery life of the wearable computer. Some mention that it has an impressive battery life, lasting over 7 days, while others say that it is absolutely horrendous. They say that the watch drains the battery and needs to be charged every other day.

Customers are mixed about the value of the wearable computer. Some mention it's good value, thrifty, and well worth it, while others say it'll never be worth the cost for so few features. The premium package is too expensive for what it offers, and the soft plastic band connectors are cheap. The subscription is ridiculous and a huge money waste.

Customers are mixed about the fit of the wearable computer. Some mention that the screen size is appropriate, and it's not too big. They like that it'll fit on their wrist, unlike a smart watch. Others say that the face is pretty small, and the print is absurdly small. They also say that old bands are not a great fit and have come loose.

Customers are dissatisfied with the connectivity of the wearable computer. They mention that it does not have good connect to Fitbit, requires constant pairing with their iPhone, and the connectivity to the Phone app is unreliable. The GPS connectivity can be flaky if the strap is too tight. They also say that the Bluetooth connection keeps dropping. Customers also mention that they are not able to sync it with Apple Maps.
"...The connectivity to the Phone app however is unreliable. Lots of retries and fiddling with the bluetooth settings to get it to work...." Read more
"...It’s Just an adjustment from my Apple Watch. I’m also not able to sync it with Apple Maps because I hate Google maps...." Read more
"...Not happy with this product and with its google connection." Read more

My only complaint about Fitbits are:
(a) The bands kinda suck. Not only are they unattractive, uncomfortable and clunky to use, they used to straight-up fail, unbuckle and just fall off. I've lost 2 Fitbits that way. (Hence I've had 5 :-) Where possible I replace them with 3rd-party bands.
(b) They seem to not like the cold. I wear mine skiing, underneath both a jacket and glove, but I've had two batteries fail after exposure to cold from skiing. And this is not in the Artic; the temperatures were probably 10-20 degrees, tho warmer at my arm, of course.
But overall I recommend them.
What I like about the Charge 6:
- Great price
- Sensors to track body activity are more accurate (I don't have a way to test this but other people in YouTube have and these sensors are really good for a device at this price point with no chest strap)
- Same great battery life. I get 6-7 days (I use normal brightness, do not use GPS, have sleep mode programmed, and keep the screen off unless I need to see it).
- The home button to return to the time screen is great.
- Triple tapping to zoom in is nice
- When it works the Google Maps app is really nice. When you launch the phone app it kicks in automatically (need to set it up this way in your Fitbit app) otherwise you have to start the walk on the phone app and then manually connect to the app from your Charge 6. It tells you where to turn and it is nicer/safer than staring at your phone. The connectivity to the Phone app however is unreliable. Lots of retries and fiddling with the bluetooth settings to get it to work. Feels like a beta. I hope this is improved with a future upgrade. I have my Charge device set to 12 hr time format but this app shows 24 hr format at the top which to me is confusing and it may be a bug. I hope this is addressed in a future update.
- More exercise modes and more settings/mode
- The double tapping for water locking the device seems to work a little better to me than the Charge 5.
- The unit's vibration when alarm goes off seems to be more noticeable than in the Charge 5. Less likely to miss it.
- Bluetooth integration with gym cardio workout machines is nice however I don't have any equipment to test this. I read that there is an issue with the encryption that Google uses. Just be aware that unless you are at a gym that has bought very recent equipment, the machines aren't likely to support bluetooth. Most hotels I workout in don't have this either. I don't really need this but some people may find it useful.
What I don't like:
- If you are on iOS you still can't reply to texts (I know there is an iOS security constraint that doesn't allow this but come on Google...time to find a workaround)
- Like the Charge 5 the GPS is terrible. It drains the battery and it is very inaccurate. I use my iPhone's GPS tracking synced to my Charge 6 instead and it works great. If you don't have your phone with you then you are out of luck.
- The biggest disappointment is the YouTube Music app. Like the Google Maps it is a remote control for the phone app. I'm a YouTube Music subscriber so I was really looking forward to this but the connectivity to the phone app is very unreliable (like the Google Maps app). You can't really see your music library, find an artist, and select Shuffle Play. All you can do is use the playback controls. (which I already have in Siri and on my Powerbeats pro earbuds), see a list of your recently played songs, and a couple of Google created playlists that I don't care to use. I really hope that they improve it in future software upgrades.
- Some exercise modes have an Auto Detect and Auto Stop feature. Basically this feature auto starts an exercise mode if the device detects that you are exercising. It sound good but in reality I found it to be more of a nuisance. The device can't tell if I'm just in a hurry or warming up for a workout. If I'm in the middle of a workout and I slow down to catch my breath, the Charge 6 will ask me if I want to stop which means I'm forced to interact with the device when I don't really want to. Luckily you can turn this feature off per mode.
- When you reach a new target zone the Charge 6 displays the new target zone and the number like the Charge 5 however Google has changed the number/graphic and made it impossibly small to read without stopping and staring or triple tapping which are tedious while you are moving during your routine. I hope Google improves this in a future software update.
- When the device is on exercise mode the screens shows the time at the very top. The Charge 5 I believe showed the total calories burned which is far more useful, Not sure why Google messed with this. If I need t know the time I can scroll to it during my workout or I can ask Siri.
- I use the timer a lot...it is still limited to 1 hour.
The phone app was cool until Google did a complete redesign which a lot of users are unhappy about.
I use the app and the web portal to log my food consumption and my weight. IMHO any fitness tracker is worthless if you don't track both. The app calories data is also broken. The calories left for the day count is incorrect compared to the web portal (there is a difference of hundreds of calories). This to me is unacceptable and It has been broken for months. Not sure what Google is waiting on to fix it. As a workaround if I need to see how many calories I can consume...I just look at the portal on a browser on my mac, iPad or iPhone..
In spite of my dislikes overall I do like the Charge 6 and it is a nice upgrade specially for $100. The more accurate sensors are worth the upgrade. That said if you plan to upgrade because of the GPS or the YouTube Music app you may want to hold off.
Mostly pro’s.
It is really comfortable. When I fell asleep accidentally with the Apple Watch my wrist was sore after. So far, I’m getting 6-7 days of charge out of it, which is a game changer. I now don’t miss days of tracking because I forgot to charge it.
I feel like the screen size is appropriate and it’s well made. I’m not sure about the accuracy, but reviews I’ve watched where people test them they seem close enough. And that’s good enough for me, I want a baseline.
You can adjust the haptics for notifications, I have it on the hardest vibration and it’s awesome. It’s easy to read the screen, just 2 taps. It says you can water lock it for swimming/shower but I haven’t utilized that yet.
The app… okay so when I purchased this (January 2024) they offered the premium app for 6 months free, then $80 a year. I will be keeping the premium. It still can be used without, but I want ALL the metrics you can get as well as meditations and workouts. It has replaced MyFitnessPal because I can track everything in this app. It also links with my Bluetooth scale. You can track steps, miles, calories, exercise, activity minutes (150 minutes a week as recommended), standing activity by getting up every hour for 250 steps, (it reminds you). SpO2, HRV, skin temp., HR, sleep (including stages). I’m sure I’m forgetting something. I haven’t used the GPS function which I heard drains the battery significantly.
Somewhat cons, or things I would appreciate it having. This device is logged in through Google. I do see messages and notifications from my iPhone 13, but are unable to respond which is fine. You can control YouTube music, but not your Apple Music. It’s Just an adjustment from my Apple Watch. I’m also not able to sync it with Apple Maps because I hate Google maps. And I haven’t figured out how to use that between my phone and the Fitbit yet even after watching tutorials. I wish they had more watch faces to choose from, I think there was about 12?. I just felt like the one I picked was as close to what I wanted, but it wasn’t. The time takes up a large portion of the screen which I feel like is unnecessary. What I feel the app is lacking is something to track when you’ve taken your meds. If they did, this app would literally be a one stop shop for my health/fitness tracking. Note: a comment someone made about med tracking was just set an alarm. The problem is that if you are someone like me that is never at the same place everyday, you could turn the alarm off and then forget later whether or not you took them. It’s a really quick fix they could do.
I HIGHLY recommend the Charge 6, I wish I had listened to my mom and got it a while ago. The few things I gave up by switching from my Apple Watch is minor. I’m not missing them other than Apple Maps and Music.
