Fitbit Charge 6 review

by NBC News

Buying a fitness tracker is more complicated than ever. With tons of models on the market from popular, trusted brands, it can be difficult to wade through the pack to find the right one. I review tech and smartwatches for NBC Select, and even I have a hard time knowing which one to recommend to friends and family. Ask me for a suggestion and I’ll pepper you with a list of questions. “What phone do you have? Do you think you’ll wear this thing everyday? Even to sleep? Do you want to send texts from it? Do you run outdoors a lot?”

Thankfully, for anyone who has never owned a smartwatch before, or for folks who think less is more, I can wholeheartedly, easily recommend the Fitbit Charge 6. It’s a small, easy-to-use watch that costs less than most of the competition, without skimping on essential features.

The Fitbit Charge 6 ($159.95) is a small fitness watch that can track your heart rate, daily steps, distance traveled, fitness activities, calories burned, nightly sleep, menstrual health and other wellness metrics.  It also shows notifications for texts, calls and emails when paired with a smartphone. It is smaller than most fitness trackers on the market, with a vertical touchscreen and has a swappable wristband.

The Charge 6 is an upgrade of 2021’s Fitbit Charge 5. On the outside, the two products are nearly identical. The Charge 6, which was released in 2023, has a new side button on the left — pressing it returns you to the home screen or, if you are working out, gives you options to complete your workout. It also has a more accurate heart rate sensor compared to the Charge 5, according to the brand.
