Charge 6

It’s been hit or miss for awhile now. Which suck because that to me is FitBits best feature and what has kept me with the brand. I’ve said this before and I guess I’m saying it again, unless things get better, I’m likely doing either the Apple Watch or Garmin when my Charge 6 finally dies.

GPS is a power hog on the Charge 6—if you carry a phone, then you can set the Charge 6 to communicate with the phone for GPS, which will save a lot of battery life on the watch (phones have much bigger batteries, so the GPS drain is not so bad there). If you have a lot of ectopic heart beats, the Fi

Fitbit took away the desktop/browser app, which allowed data analysis on a large screen. Whoop still has that, and this advantage makes the subscription worth it. Right now, I'm wearing both Whoop and Charge 6 and making comparisons. It's SO MUCH easier to browse the heart rate data with Whoop and i

I have worn a Fitbit Charge 6 all day, everyday (except for charging) for around 60 weeks. I also exercise a lot, depending on the week it says my average calorie burn for the week is between 3.8k kcal to 4.1k calories per day, while my daily calorie intake is consistently 2k-2.2k. According to the

They’re just not as accurate as actual medical devices. None of my cardiologists over the past couple of years felt like the Charge 6 data had any value in medical. I was advised that they can give me an idea or estimate but that I shouldn’t necessarily believe it, if I questioned a heart rate as be

Also i think 0.5 Hz HR sensor rate is misleading. From the export data we can see any Fitbit gives out one HR data point every 5 seconds and 1 every second when working out. I know they are talking about the sensors polling rate, which also doesn’t make sense. If polling rate was every two seconds w

Gotcha, I have a Fitbit too. Did you happen to switch/upgrade devices during that time that you noticed a change? I looked back on mine and it was in the 40s a few years ago and now in the 20s on average., but I have switched devices through the years (I now have the Charge 6). Anyway I brought this

using an garmen instinct 2 solar. Seems much more accurate than the fitbit charge 6 I was using. Overkill on features but I do enjoy gadgets. Also battery life is great. feel like I was always charging the fitbit. With the garmen after a year still around 30 days on a charge.

Just sent my wife's new Fitbit Charge 6 back because of this issue. If I had known it wouldn't support Google Workspace accounts I wouldn't have ordered it in the first place. I'm a Garmin user myself, so wasn't aware the Fitbit app had been asking to be moved to Google Fitbit. Now that I'm aware of

Yeah, my Charge 6 is my last Fitbit. Moving to Apple because I have so many other devices from them and I’ve seen a lot of good comments on the Apple Watch Ultra subreddit I’ve been in the past six months. To your very wise point: No fitness tracker is perfect, and something like AWU is definitely n
