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. (

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

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

Charge 6 worth it?
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 Charge 6 vs Fitbit Air
I would consider the air but it doesnt give me the third party app notifications that i want as i usually have my phone on silent and rely on the fitbit to alert me. With that said the charge battery time is a little bit lacking in my opinion, but mainly due to the screen. I have mine on Manual so i

My Charge 6 battery depletes quickly
I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem before I go to customer support. I'm lucky if I even get three days worth of battery life on my Charge 6.
Edit: It’s roughly a year old, and the battery usually last 2ish days

Charge 6 Battery Worthless
I've had just barely had my Charge 6 for one year. For the past few months the battery has taken a tremendous nose dive. The top end and bottom end of the battery drain incredibly fast. For example, yesterday around midday it was at 50%. By evening, I got the low battery notification and an hour and

fitbit air vs charge 6
The battery being the same length makes sense. The air relies on being as small and low profile as possible, so they reduced the battery size such that it lasts 7 days. I'm sure if they made it the size/weight of the Charge 6, it'd have crazy battery life, but I think it's a fair enough tradeoff. I

Here’s a Ton of New Looks at Fitbit’s Upcoming Screen-less Device
Awful, I depend on several Fitbit features, timers, telling me when to walk, checking the time, finding my phone and the breathing mindfulness. Pointless and disappointed there's no screen was hoping a more accurate fit bit with a larger battery life. The reason I haven't gone for a charge 6 and use
