FitbitCharge 6 Fitness Tracker with Google apps, Heart Rate on Exercise Equipment, 6-Months Premium Membership Included, GPS, Health Tools and More, Gold/Coral, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

Ah, the Fitbit Charge 6—your new best frenemy in the battle for better health (and the approval of your health insurance company). Right out of the box, it’s sleek, stylish, and ready to broadcast your every step, heart rate spike, and moment of despair to the digital overlords.Activity Tracking:This thing tracks your steps, your sleep, your workouts, and probably your grocery runs when you’re just trying to survive the week. Gone are the days of skipping the gym without consequence—your Fitbit will ensure Big Health Insurance knows exactly how much effort you’re putting in. But hey, at least it’s motivation to hit those 10,000 steps, right?Stress Monitoring:The Charge 6 is especially handy at work. Having a rough day? Bam! Your Fitbit buzzes: “You seem stressed. Maybe try some breathing exercises?” Oh, thank you, electronic wrist therapist. My boss might be yelling, but at least my wearable is invested in my mental well-being. It’s like having a tiny, passive-aggressive life coach strapped to your arm.Battery Life:It lasts forever—or at least long enough to capture every second of your highly active Netflix binging sessions, which apparently doesn’t count as cardio. Thanks for the judgment, Fitbit.Other Features:The heart rate monitor is great. It even noticed my heart doing gymnastics during my last performance review. And the notifications? Perfect for reminding me to “move” when I’m clearly busy trying to avoid the existential dread of adulthood.Final Thoughts:The Fitbit Charge 6 is everything I expected and more: a health guru, a tattletale, and a sassy life coach rolled into one. If you want to stay fit, stay accountable, and let your insurance provider feel like a proud parent, this is the tracker for you. Just remember, when it buzzes “relax,” it doesn’t mean “quit your job,” no matter how tempting that sounds.4/5 stars. One star deducted for knowing too much about me. Just kidding, it’s keeping my health insurance costs lower - that’s something right???

Birthday gift for my mom, she loves it. Easy to use and functional. Set up was fairly easy, however, I had to set it up for her. The size is perfect for her small wrist. She is glad to be able to accurately track her steps now

It tracks wonderfully! I have an android and do run into sync issues from time to time, but overall, it's easy to fix and worth the bother. The band it comes with easily irritates my skin. I'd recommend getting a different band for it.

I just got it yesterday but after 24 hrs of wear it works well, no issues so far. The color of the “red” is coral, and the “gold” is a muted almost rose gold tone. The band is thick and a bit stiff, making it a little uncomfortable; I haven’t gotten a rash from it yet like many people do but I’ll be ordering replacement bands just to be safe and for comfort. The sleep tracking is extremely accurate as is the heart rate, which were the two main functions I’m using it for at the moment

I have owned a fitbit in one form or another for the last 12 years. I'm a very careful person who doesn't do a lot of extreme activities--I need a device that holds a charge, counts my steps, tracks my goals, and monitors my sleep. I don't use the apps or greater smartwatch technology so my bar for performance is low: it needs to work. Sadly, after less than a month of ownership, the device has crashed and become unresponsive for no reason 4 separate times. In my case it looks like there's an issue with my battery or the battery sensor. Keeping the battery topped up doesn't stop the issue--my latest crash was today, less than 24 hours after the fitbit's latest charge. Searching the forums I found that this is a very common issue, and devices that don't start with it can develop it, and fitbit's response is to replace the devices...until they're out of warranty, then you're on your own. Since the device is within its amazon return window, I've decided to go that route and just get my money back instead of repair center tag with fitbit.This is the third fitbit model I've owned that showed troubling signs before it was 2 years old. My prior model was a Charge 5 which had the connectors break off making it unwearable. The model before that was a Charge 3 which developed the unfixable dead pixel display issue. This is especially troubling as I am very careful with my electronics and only perform low levels of exercise; typically I can keep electronics for years. I still own both of my original fitbits (One and Flex) which I used for years until I decided to ugprade for better features. So I'm very disappointed. I'm not interested in buying a new fitness tracker every 6-9 months.After this last experience on top of two failed devices, I'm switching to another company. I hate to lose the app I'm used to and the data I've accumulated, but I'd rather pay more and have a device that lasts than be expected to pay $150 yearly.As a final note, thanks to amazon for making returns so easy. It's apparently a real headache to work with fitbit to straight out return defective items instead of just a replacement.My first fitbit, the very basic Fitbit One, was a great device that lasted years, so when a friend was getting rid of their flex for a newer model, I upgraded. Both initial models worked great for me for years of constant use with no battery issues, and when I upgraded it was my choice. But everything started to go downhill when I picked up a Charge 3. After 2-3 years I noticed a lot of battery degradation and got the dreaded "dead pixel" screen issue. So I updated to a Charge 4.
