Google's Whoop competitor is here, Fitbit Air starts at $99

No screen, no extra sensors, yet still only 7 day battery. No reason to change my charge 6 that lasts 7 days with 20% battery left. I get that Fitbit started without screens, but having a screen to track interval work, glance at HR while working, and even just to check the time is really useful. Cha

About to smash this charge 6 into a million pieces and mail it to Fitbit.

I have to constantly remove, uninstall, re-pair, re- setup this thing once a month. And usually have to mess with it for hours to get into work again EVERY SINGLE TIME I CHARGE IT.

Wtf is with this garbage???

All I want to do is track my sleep. But noooooo.

My old versa was near bulletproof. (

So long and thanks for all the fish

I am an apple user but would never buy an Apple Watch in its current state. I love not having to charge my Fitbit every day and the low cost comparatively but maybe when my charge 6 dies it’ll be time to reassess cause the app is utter nonsense half the time

Does the Charge 6 have a low profile?

Really tempted to get this thing at $100 currently, looks like a great fitness tracker for the price. However, I tried a galaxy watch years ago but never really used it because I needed to charge it every day and it stuck out my wrist a lot, made it get in the way a lot.

I know battery won't be an

Fitbit Air name emerges as Google’s screenless band takes shape

Same. I hope they don't split Fitbit and the Pixel watches this way for good. I want a screen, but I don't want a full smart watch that I need to charge every two days. I just want to quickly check the time and my heart rate/steps and get very basic notifications for texts or whatever. I have zero n

Wtf is going on w my Charge 6?

First it freezes and becomes unresponsive right after first setup on brand new freshly unsealed Charge 6 following a few repeatedly inconclusive ECGs, was unresponsive to repeated charger button restart attempts following manual directions perfectly plus 15 seconds in between separate unresponsive a

I’m looking for an alarm clock that doesn’t wake my wife.

Fitbits also have the vibration alarm and are much cheaper. the charge in mine lasts all week. I have the charge 6 and there are cheaper models as well, but not sure if they have that feature

Replacing my Inspire 3

I’d stick with the Insipire 3. If you just used for those applications it’ll cover it. The only other from Fitbit that is similar is the Charge 6, that has more stuff like the built in GPS (kinda flaky depending the situation, since it is a small antenna), ECG and a few other things, that you might

Is anyone happy with the ring?

This is my first smart ring, so I can't compare it to others. I like the hardware; I find it lightweight, elegant, comfortable. The software and firmware clearly need work (most notably on the connection issues, but also general refinement and features, battery life), though those are much easier to

Charge 6, one year later - sorely disappointed. Utterly useless and unreliable.

I got a Charge 6 last year because it appeared to hit the sweet spot of a fitness tracker that had a few of the key smart watch features (clock, timer, notifications, google pay, etc) while also having heart rate and (importantly) wasn’t gigantic.

Immediately after purchasing it, I was disappointe
