Already $99 at Best Buy for early Black Friday. I paid 160 but went back with my receipt and they refunded me $60. Only $99 is a steal plus 6 months premium.
6-17-2024/I purchased a charge 6 early June, it lasted 4 days & shut down. I tried all the things to get it going, no luck. Not Discouraged tho, my last Fit Bit Charge 4 lasted 5 yrs. So I returned for a Replacement, which came the SAME day I returned the broken 1, so I'm hoping this will be good. I paid $152+ tax incl. I didn't want to pay the $200 - $300 for another Samsung that didn't last much more then a year, died just Outside the Warranty , so I like the Fit Bit brands better. I'm hoping/ expecting this 1 to last a while. Pro: I use the TIMER/Alarm portion Constantly & like the benefit of the walking of course. I Soooo Could have used this for work, (hospital) but being Retired I'm just as busy walking, so this works Great for me. The fact I can get different bands is pretty neat, I might choose to do that to dress it up a bit ☺️👍 Con: I can't find where to change the clock face, I haven't found anywhere that that can be done, I Personally choose the Analog over the digital 🤔. Otherwise I'm 😊 with this Charge 6...
I bought one the other day and have decide to return it. I came from having an Apple Watch that I sold and was looking for something with longer battery life, easy to wear and had a decent amount of sensors for health info. The Charge 6 does that but, honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference between this model and the one I bought 3 or 4 years ago. It even has the exact same tired, old watch faces that it did 3 or 4 years ago. There’s literally no differences! Yikes! I also tried out an Amazfit Band 7 and am returning that too. It’s a bit better for 1/3 the price of the Charge but that thing is hella Chinese and I don’t know if I trust the sensors for accuracy or the app for privacy. Apple needs to make a fitness tracker for half the price of the SE or give users the ability to turn off everything but the fitness and health features on the watch in order to get a decent battery life out of them, kind of like a “Fitness Tracker Mode”. Maybe that would help?
I definitely understand that. It seems like every "smart watch" has a very short battery life. I would slay recommend you try a Garmin device to see if that is what you are looking for
@@FitnessWithFrost thanks for the reply! yeah, I have a Venu 3 on order and will give that a go. But jeez, that price, tho! 😬 I definitely think there’s a middle ground that some of these products can hit for some of us that aren’t super-marathoners and just want to keep track of our steps, heart rate, O2, ECG, sleep tracking and such but also don’t want a cheap band with a tiny screen and frustratingly outdated watch faces or no real control over the “complications” on those faces. We’ll see what happens. Thanks again!
Just be advised its well documented that this device has problems pairing out of the box for A LOT of devices. Some say it pairs just fine with their phone on setup, while others say it wont pair AT ALL. So be warry.
I have fallen out of favor for fitbit. I loved my charge 5 but after only 8 months the screen turned black while I was leisurely wading in 4 ft water. It survived my trips running in the rain, Universal Studios Volcano Bay, and Wisconsin Dells water parks, yet it turns black while im not even swimming hardcore. I can’t reset it, I can’t turn it back on, and I’m a bit sad. Was a little hyped bout the charge 6 but remembered bout how crap the quality of the product is. I feel like Fitbit is going downhill.
Hey good review/ thanks/ where can I pick up a cloth band like the one you put on during the show? the rubber ones are kinda clunky spongy wonky... joe
Question- as a long time Fitbit user I am concerned that my new cHarge 6 is making an open sore spot where the sensor contacts my wrist. I have loosened it and have tried not wearing it at night but it comes right back after a day of wearing it. I stopped wearing my Garmin because of this. Is this a problem for anyone else and I am open for suggestions please and thank you 😊
@@FitnessWithFrost i can only bring smartwatches with my work if they have the serial number displayed in the menu, please look into this for us and we will be grateful for your info
I’m bored of the Apple Watch. Planning to try FitBit. I thought to purchase the Google Pixel 2, but it’s not compatible with iOS devices. I have a question about Fitbit 6. Will it record the readings like heart rate, calories, and so on when the phone is not nearby to the tracker?
The battery life is absolutely rubbish if you walk/hike it won't last one day if you walk more than 17 miles. will last longer if you don't move around mutch
Agreed. I had apple watch and i didnt like it. I wanted simple watch that can track my sleep and HR accurately most accurately with long battery life. I used apple watch for a month and went back on fitbit

Same here! I went in the pool with swim mode on with my charge 5 and the screen blacked out! Still a top watch for me tho
7:55.. how do you get that retro view for sleep? i used to have that on the charge 3, but with the charge 6, it looks completely different.
I bought one on sale for $99. Its good for that money. But, at full price, it needs to count stairs and provide weather. IMO
I'm glad you got it on a great discount!
Hey good review/ thanks/ where can I pick up a cloth band like the one you put on during the show? the rubber ones are kinda clunky spongy wonky... joe
How strong are the vibrations. Enough to wake you up?
I believe they are. Unless you are a very deep sleeper. Hopefully that's helpful
Yes
They definitely wake me up!
Yeah I wake up
Can you choose wich apps notifications appear on the fitbit?
Do you knlw if it will have more apps that i could download (spotify, weather, calculator)? My inspire 3 doesn't have any apps made for it.
Sadly it doesn't look like there will be plans for others.I could see a weather and a calculator, but probably not Spotify
Thanks for the review and answering questions in the comments. I would consider this if it had weather and notifications.
Totally understandable. I'm glad I could help

Sounds like an allergy. My wife cannot wear any fitbit without breaking out. Nothing wrong with the watch, just it may not work for you.
Pairing it was a big problem but did it after 36 minutes ... very strange experience
That is very strange. What phone was it?
S23 plus and iphone 15 pro both same issue i checked online many people had same issue
@@FitnessWithFrost
How did you? Been trying for half an hour anda nothing:/
We just got one and it doesn't pair with any of our phones. Even after an hour of trying and resetting the fitbit multiple times 😑 back it goes...
Do you know how to sync fitbit 5 data to fitbit 6? All previous data is gone smh
ive bought one and the sleep tracking is rubbish , but Heart rate tracking is much better
What kinda issues were you having with sleep tracking? Have you used other devices?
Sleep tracking seems to be very accurate for me
Oh man. I don't want to have a watch where i need to buy premium accounts even for that. Thank you for vide
Heart rate, sleep, ECG, 3 Axis accelerometer all under premium is a pass for me
Do you get message notifications on this watch? I still have inspire 2 😂 the battery can go up to 10 days on one charge still and its 2 years old.
Also is it compatible with Samsung A54
You do get notifications on it. Do you know what version of Android it is running?
Can you download songs onto the watch?
Please let me know if the serialnumber is displayed in the menu of the watch, I am disparate to find ou!
What do you mean by that?
@@FitnessWithFrost i can only bring smartwatches with my work if they have the serial number displayed in the menu, please look into this for us and we will be grateful for your info
It is displayed in the settings I believe
Do i have to enter the PIN code every time i pay with watch?
Yep

Yes it will still track all of that. How long will you be away from the watch?
@@FitnessWithFrost Thank You 😊 for reply. For 2 hours. But i am not purchasing there’s an issue to connect with iOS in some reviews.
Yeah I didn't get to test it with iOS myself.
Great review as always .
Apple 8 and Charge 4 until 2025, not going with the Google account change.
Thank you! Yeah the account change things is pretty interesting. Not surprised though
Hey im back
How are you feeling?
@@FitnessWithFrost Good how are you
I'm feeling great!
@@FitnessWithFrost me to 😁

You gotta get some sleep man
Doesn't work if you have tattoos.... people should be aware of that... Will send back my one tomorrow
Bought twice. First broken in 10 month
Second broken in 7 month. This is product is a scam
basically its a scam..
being in 2023 for 160€, shitty screen, few apps and needing premium subscription to get most of it
It's not great. Not totally a scam. They added more stuff not behind the paywall. But I really do dislike it
Not everyone wants apps. Some of us don’t want a smart watch
Agreed. I had apple watch and i didnt like it. I wanted simple watch that can track my sleep and HR accurately most accurately with long battery life. I used apple watch for a month and went back on fitbit
Get more sleep!!!
you look as if you are in pain trying to review this,
Why do you say that?
Never judge a book by its cover! Leave the man alone he's educating us would - be buyers about this device.
