I'm still happy with my Charge 6. The sleep tracker seems accurate and encourages me to get consistent sleep and the HR monitor is generally accurate when I compare it to my chest strap.

Thanks mate for your feedback on charge 6. Since my father is 50 Yr old i thought the ecg feature might be something that might be useful but thankfully he doesn't have any sort of heart issues as of

As a 50 year old, I can say that I had an Inspire 3 and moved to a Charge 6 and the Charge is much, much easier to read.

Love my Charge 6, but getting it to sync to show notifications with my Samsung phone has been an absolute nightmare.
r/fitbitnegative1
Keeping the Charge 6 synched with my iphone is impossible. I have tried every recommendation that I can find, and nothing works.
r/fitbitpositive2
I wouldn't buy it at full price, but if you can get it discounted it's worth it. ... I like the heart rate monitor which is accurate (compared to my Polar).
r/fitbitpositive1
I wanted something that's pretty good at all aspects with good battery back up cuz my father won't charge his watch by himself even if it runs out of battery. So if it has a battery back up of 6-7 day

I bought a used Charge 6 off of FB marketplace in December and I'm really enjoying it so far! It has a pretty decent battery life and keeps up with my needs.
r/fitbitpositive1
Yes, I would say it's a good value. ... Good HR and sleep tracking, yes. Decent battery life, but your experience may vary.
r/fitbitneutral1
It's been ok. Almost two years in. Think charging weekly, maybe more often. ... Depending on dad's age and vision,. Screen size may be an issue.
r/fitbitpositive1
I love my charge 6. No issues at all.
r/fitbitpositive1
The battery lasts about a week - give or take depending on which features you use. So that's pretty handy if you're the one charging it.
r/fitbitneutral1
If you have to charge it yourself then dont get him one at all
r/fitbitpositive1
Its the best charge model fitbit I've had going back to Charge 3 or 4.
