After testing the Fitbit Charge 6 for weeks, I can confidently say it’s one of the best mid-range fitness trackers out there. The heart rate monitoring is impressively accurate, and the sleep tracking gives detailed breakdowns—finally showing me why I wake up feeling exhausted despite ‘8 hours’ of sleep.

The redesigned band attachment is a game-changer. No more worrying about flimsy prongs breaking like older models! The two included band sizes fit snugly, even during sweaty workouts. Speaking of which, syncing with gym equipment for real-time heart rate stats? *Chef’s kiss*.

Battery life is solid (5-7 days), but the touchscreen can be finicky—double taps don’t always register. And yes, the free Premium trial is great… until you realize some key features hide behind a paywall later.

For $160, you get ECG, stress tracking, and Google integration. Just don’t expect Apple Watch-level call quality or payment flexibility (Google Pay support is hit-or-miss). If you want actionable health data without overspending, this is it.
