Has the calorie counting part of the app gone to 💩, is there a fix ?
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.

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

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

Aligning Calorie Intake with Fitbit Calories Burned
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

Charge 6 heart rate inaccuracy
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

This thing isn’t very good.
I've read several reviews since the release as I've considered purchasing one and (upgrading?/downgrading?) swapping my charge 6, which I ultimately didn't do. Just two thoughts: If you want accurate workout metrics, are training for, or wish to reach certain training goals, gps for walking/running,

How is this acceptable?
I was absolutely dead to the world last night but this morning my Fitbit Charge 6 said I was awake for like 4 hours straight in the middle of the night. I just went to take a screenshot and magically it now has data for that time showing I was asleep. What in the hell is this gaslighting bs?

Need help understanding this notification
It is utterly pointless. I got my Fitbit Charge 6 during a period of intense training. My very first session wearing it was intervals. Because of that my baseline cardio was incredibly high. That meant no matter how much exercise I did, no matter how intense, Fitbit was always telling me I was eithe

Fitbit Air vs Whoop... So the battle begins!
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

Is anyone actually sticking with Google Health Coach after the trial, or is it just overpriced AI?
The coach is driving me crazy! I have done all of the things to get rid of it, but after two days it is back, and now the button to remove it is gone! I have had Fitbits for years and I love my Charge 6, and I loved the Fitbit app, but I cannot stand Google Health. Not only is much of the informatio
