Review: Replaced my Apple Watch with Charge 6, happy - Bought
January 2024. So, I have had an Apple Watch since 2017. I LOVED
it. But I didn’t love the battery time. The things I was
interested in, like sleep tracking, I couldn’t do because it
needed to charge or I couldn’t use it the next day. My mom has a
Fitbit and for years was telling me to get one. After some health
issues, I needed to start being more cognizant of my health. I
didn’t want to spend another $5-600 on an Apple Watch that at
most gets 2 days of battery now. I was interested in the Oura
ring, but I have 60 lbs. to lose and those can’t be sized as you
lose weight. So I researched and found the Fitbit Charge 6 was my
best choice. Mostly pro’s. It is really comfortable. When I fell
asleep accidentally with the Apple Watch my wrist was sore after.
So far, I’m getting 6-7 days of charge out of it, which is a game
changer. I now don’t miss days of tracking because I forgot to
charge it. I feel like the screen size is appropriate and it’s
well made. I’m not sure about the accuracy, but reviews I’ve
watched where people test them they seem close enough. And that’s
good enough for me, I want a baseline. You can adjust the haptics
for notifications, I have it on the hardest vibration and it’s
awesome. It’s easy to read the screen, just 2 taps. It says you
can water lock it for swimming/shower but I haven’t utilized that
yet. The app… okay so when I purchased this (January 2024) they
offered the premium app for 6 months free, then $80 a year. I
will be keeping the premium. It still can be used without, but I
want ALL the metrics you can get as well as meditations and
workouts. It has replaced MyFitnessPal because I can track
everything in this app. It also links with my Bluetooth scale.
You can track steps, miles, calories, exercise, activity minutes
(150 minutes a week as recommended), standing activity by getting
up every hour for 250 steps, (it reminds you). SpO2, HRV, skin
temp., HR, sleep (including stages). I’m sure I’m forgetting
something. I haven’t used the GPS function which I heard drains
the battery significantly. Somewhat cons, or things I would
appreciate it having. This device is logged in through Google. I
do see messages and notifications from my iPhone 13, but are
unable to respond which is fine. You can control YouTube music,
but not your Apple Music. It’s Just an adjustment from my Apple
Watch. I’m also not able to sync it with Apple Maps because I
hate Google maps. And I haven’t figured out how to use that
between my phone and the Fitbit yet even after watching
tutorials. I wish they had more watch faces to choose from, I
think there was about 12?. I just felt like the one I picked was
as close to what I wanted, but it wasn’t. The time takes up a
large portion of the screen which I feel like is unnecessary.
What I feel the app is lacking is something to track when you’ve
taken your meds. If they did, this app would literally be a one
stop shop for my health/fitness tracking. Note: a comment someone
made about med tracking was just set an alarm. The problem is
that if you are someone like me that is never at the same place
everyday, you could turn the alarm off and then forget later
whether or not you took them. It’s a really quick fix they could
do. I HIGHLY recommend the Charge 6, I wish I had listened to my
mom and got it a while ago. The few things I gave up by switching
from my Apple Watch is minor. I’m not missing them other than
Apple Maps and Music.
Review: Definitely a good product though a little glitchy before
the new update - This is an absolute game changer for tracking my
habits both with sleep and general walking exercises. Don't take
the calorie burn seriously though as a fitibit and or smart
watches cannot read your calorie burn so I think it's weird that
they have that on here. It has clear legible imaging, the fit for
the large was spot on but I went for a nylon strap based on
comfort preference. It seems mostly durable but I wouldn't go
dropping it all the time. Ultimately it's a perfect little device
for fitniss tracking. I will note that the charge is quick and
effeti efficient. It does disconnect from notifications if you
have it off too long while charging.
