Charge 6

As someone who has used fitbit for almost a decade and bought the Charge 6 (after my 3, 4 & 5 died), I'm genuinely curious if there are people who still love their fitbit? Honestly the only reason I'm still using it is cause I don't want to lose the years of data on the app.

Looking at this subred

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

I've already tried uninstalling the app, factory resetting my watch, clearing cache, rebooting my phone, turning on/off Bluetooth, etc. Nothing works.

It's been like this for a couple weeks where the app won't sync with the watch. I'll try to force it to sync by pulling down on the screen, but just

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

Two years ago I had a Fitbit Charge, which I really liked. I then began using an Apple device, but I just got a Charge 6 as a gift.

Okay. [FEEL FREE TO SKIM OR SKIP THIS INCREDIBLY BORING PARAGRAPH] I had to spend roughy 90 minutes last night with three different customer services futilely trying t

Used to have a Fitbit Charge 4 and absolutely loved it. After mine broke (around 2022) I haven’t used any fitness tracker since and I’d like to get one again. I only found out about Google discontinuing Fitbits after already placing an order for the Charge 6 (though it hasn’t shipped yet, I can stil

For the past 6 months, my Charge 6 is not syncing sleep score with my watch unless I manually sync it about 8 times. HR data is questionable and won’t display half the time. The annoyance level is off the charts. Owned a fitbit for over 12 years. This may be the end.

Independent of how the app is now, do you actually think they will support it long term? They have a habit of buying companies & products and discontinuing support within a few years? One of the reasons I like Apple, is I trust I’ll still have my data 7-10 years from now in Apple Health. For now I u

I’m switching as soon as my charge 6 dies - and we know it will because it’s almost 3 yrs old (I’ve had charges 4,5, and 6- Fitbit knew about the battery issue) until then I’m really worried that all the workouts videos will disappear that I’ve saved (like barre 3 did when Google bought it).

In the beginning, I thought I was one of the lucky ones, reading about other people's problems with their watches not syncing with the app, but now I'm firmly in the club. My app hasn't been able to sync for three days! The last data I can see was on Wednesday, and only about half of that day is dis
