Google’s Fitbit Air Will Come in 3 Colors, Several Band Options

It's been 3 years since Charge 6. I swapped to the Helios band when my Fitbit broke. I tried the Whoop first, but it was way too expensive to justify keeping it. I miss having time and heart rate visible on my wrist. I don't want the Air unless it's offering something completely differentiating from

Charge 6 worth it?

Same here, I have a charge 6 and couldn't be more happy. Sure, it has a few things I can knit-pick about, but that's just that, everything has a few little knit picks. One of the best Fitbits I've used. It tracks quite a bit, and I love the ECG function as well. It seems pretty accurate with sleep,

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

Would you recommend the Charge 6? In your experience, is the data accurate?

I regularly lift and run and was looking for a device to track my workouts and tell me more about my body. The charge 6 really stuck out to me. The sleep tracking features are also intriguing. However, I’ve seen some reviews online for the heart rate data and some other things not always being the m

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

Any leaks or news about charge 7, or is the brand now dead?

Well I was looking forward to a Charge 7. It's definitely time to change my Charge 6. I can notice it's failing in different ways. The most annoying is it doesn't always vibrate to remind me to move at 10 minutes to the hour. I usually try to make sure I get my steps in at the top of the hour, but s

Should I still invest in Fitbit or is it a dead brand?

After having used a Whoop 5 MG for quite some time, I got back to a Fitbit Charge 6 as (maybe it is just me) but it is more accurate for HR under heavy load and SPO2 (I often go in the mountains and Fitbit correctly get reduced SPO2, while the Whoop never caught any change). It has GPS tracking and

Charge 6 won't sync

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

Google Fitbit Air is about to launch with no screen and a big AI health push

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

Wearable with continuous AFIB monitoring that is NOT a bulky watch

Google (Fitbit) Charge 6. Slim style and reliable AFIB monitoring. I've used one for years. One drawback though. Google bought Fitbit in 2021 and has made no new Charge watches since. Appears to me that Google bought Fitbit to stop their competition with the Google watches. So, I've no idea how long
