Fitbit Charge 6 Review - After 30 Days

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Thanks for watching! Subscribe ❤. And what do you think about this Fitbit?

[@amy0012]

I would have liked to see more from this Fitbit, like why have KZbin music but you can't play any music from the watch directly? Seems a bit gimmicky to me. Amongst some other things. And great video as always!

[@boinkye]

I think it’s pretty nice! I am just upgrading from Inspire. Think this should do the trick for a while! Thank you for breaking it down😁

[@musiclover10163]

Is it still working?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

@@musiclover10163 yes it is.

[@chinswaggerchinnie948]

@@AbbyBReviewingdoes your Fitbit Luxe still work? Been wanting to buy one but not sure if at this point is too old (found a brand new in box on eBay)

THANK YOU for showing the wrist sizes! I have a 5 3/4" wrist & you actually showed that. I never see that in reviews &, obviously, it is kinda important! You also covered a whole ton of stuff that no one else covered. Like the scratches on the sides, the dimness adjustments, the women's cycle tracker, etc... I really, really appreciate that. It isn't "tech sexy" but I want a useful tracker, not a bracelet or a $1000 "look what I can afford" watch.

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello! I definitely agree knowing the wrist sizes is important & haha yes not "tech sexy" as you put it but, I always strive to talk about real life things I notice and info I think normal people like myself would want to know about in all my reviews, instead of just blabbing about tech specs for an entire video. I'm glad you appreciated this review, and thanks for sharing :)

[@Oceangirl1234]

I know right

[@tinagladstone5093]

Thank you. Appreciate your work and how thorough you are.

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello, I appreciate you sharing that and HAGD! 💜

[@Chercher2494]

Thanks for showing what exercises it tracks!

[@wonderwoman5528]

Excellent video, you covered everything thoroughly

Thank you for your review I am actually getting this model and it is a Christmas gift coming from my friend and I've had a Fitbit for the last 10 plus years but I've had a charge tomorrow I've not had anything else and I had a pre-owned charged to model so I'm really excited to get my first actual new model Fitbit being brand new out of the box so I'm excited for the features that I'm already seeing and a lot of the changes because like I said I'm coming from the charts too I was a pre-owned model so I'm i'm really excited for this so thank you for your review your video is very inter Helpful to me and I actually am getting this exact same color because he knows I like pink and This was the closest thing to pink so I'm super excited your video is very helpful thank you

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Oh nice, that's exciting and a big upgrade! I hope you enjoy your new Charge 6 when you get it :) And thanks for sharing!

[@CC-zp1tz]

Just got mine a couple weeks ago, great so far, happy with the heart rate tracking which for me is most important when biking, basically right on with my chest strap....thanks for your feedback!

[@anniew6210]

Thanks for the long term review very helpful :)

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Glad it was helpful! Annie :)

[@CindySkakun]

Thanks . Well summarized for a beginner Fitbit. Not even sure how to find you once subscribed.

[@AbbyBReviewing]

@CindySkakun Hello! once subscribed my videos will come up on your feed as recommend videos. You can also find my channel in your subscribed section or by typing my channel name AbbyBReviewing :)

[@canadablonde23]

@AbbyBReviewing Thanks for your review and your unboxing video! Question - do you find the "Champaign gold" metal basically just looks like silver?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello, thanks for watching :) And I don't find it silver, in person the colour does look pretty accurate to how it appears in this video. In my opinion, it is a true champagne colour which is kind of like a combo of mixing yellow gold with silver for reference.

[@5150Lane]

Understand that Fitbit will not stand behind their product. I don't expect items to last forever, but I did expect my Fitbit Charge 5 to last longer than 18 months. Battery typically lasted about six days up until the unit was about 18 months old. Now a full charge might last up to two days if you turn everything off. Fitbit tells me I'm out of warranty, but if I buy a new unit, they'll pitch in $20. I'll be looking for a different brand.

[@matthewshelton9573]

Garmin is what you want if you seek longevity.

[@5150Lane]

Thank you for your comment Matthew.@@matthewshelton9573

[@george6252]

My battery didn't die, but my charge 5 had screen freeze (with no home button). Seems you're supposed to press the reboot button on the charging cable. So that means Fitbit was aware of this problem before putting it on the market ? Then there's connectivity problems. This watch was RUSHED to market. TRASH.

[@sigma.rin3]

Hey!! Great review, but I have a question. are you able to change the units of the watch? I'm more used to the metric system 😅thank you!!

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello and thank you! And yes you can change them and choose metric or imperial units for the watch :)

[@sigma.rin3]

@@AbbyBReviewing Omg thank you so much!! And just wondering, which one would you recommend, fitbit or garmin vivosmart?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

@@sigma.rin3 that would depend on the specific Fitbit and what your looking for. Generally if you want better activity tracking I’d go for the Garmin if you want better sleep tracking I would go with a Fitbit

[@sigma.rin3]

@@AbbyBReviewing Ohh I see, thank u again

[@Kabeyeka]

Thanks for the review. Just ordered this. My Versa 3 just died about 23 months in.. my first Fitbit was an Inspire 3 that also lasted about 2 yrs. I decided not to upgrade to a Versa 4 or Sense 2 because I suspect they'll just die in 2 yrs and it's not worth it for me, spending $300 for a tracker that will die in such a short time.

[@lordprotector3367]

My Charge 2 is still going strong, 6 years later.

[@nyseldias]

Hi. I wanted to know if you can start a stopwatch or a timer while tracking your workout ? Like can you go back and forth without stopping the workout tracking?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, that did not work when i tried it.

[@Philip_Taylor]

Watch faces, nice. Thanks for including. EDIT: Not enough blue ones

[@Hannahmann1]

Does this track all the same exercises as the Versa 4?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

@Hannahmann1 hi, not all the same activities. I showed all the activities this waych can track in this video and feel free to also check out my Versa 4 review i showed all the activities that can track in that watches review video as well.

[@SirBurb]

Do you think I should get this or the Vivoactive 5?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hey, so these are two very different devices! I think the main things to consider if choosing between the two are whether you prefer the Fitbit or Garmin Ecosystem. Your budget, features you want and what you prioritize most ie. You'll get better activity tracking with Garmin. And better sleep tracking with Fitbit. I do prefer the Vivoactive 5 out of the two.

[@SirBurb]

Ok, thank you.

[@nellieforbes2216]

Thank you for this thorough review. That you used this for a month really makes your review stand out. Would you ever think of doing a comparison between the Charge 6 and Garmin’s Venu 2s? Just an idea. Thanks again.

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello, thanks for sharing, and I will definitely consider making that video! I've also done full individual reviews on thoae watches if you're looking for more info on them :)

[@nellieforbes2216]

I will. Thank you!

[@sarthak2091]

How has been your experience with GPS in real life? Some people complained about it's durability and long term use. Need your suggestions.

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello, the Charge 6 has only been out a couple of months so not sure how people can speak on long term durability but, the GPS has been working well for me, and I find the steps, pace and gps route after an outdoor w activity (mostly walks for me) to be accurate in my experience.

[@乾淨核能]

can you track spo2 24/7? can you track nap time(what's the minimum nap time?) thank you!

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi! this only tracks SpO2 during sleep.

[@乾淨核能]

@@AbbyBReviewing what? really>>> awwww, thank you!

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Yea, and forgot to mention I'm not a napper so I can't comment on that part of your question! But the shortest sleep session it recorded for me was 2.5 hours.

[@乾淨核能]

@@AbbyBReviewing thank you!!

How to use GPS ON CHARGE 6

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, the GPS is automatically turned on/connected when you start an outdoor activity, ex. Run, walk.

[@martinezz180]

Hi. Im working on building construction.. will fitbit count steps by mistake while Im waving my hand ??

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, it probably will count steps for that, as steps as recorded with exaggerated hand movement.

[@AbbyRundle]

This item has not been updated since recently when we received this email and requested an return receipt for this product and it will work fine as far back we ran the service on this product for our customers and the product will not work with our customer and we have to wait till after our customer service is done and then they would have been happy 😃 I am not happy 😆 I ❤❤❤❤❤

[@vangiegarza5709]

Hi I'm looking for a new watch since I misplaced mine. My question is do I need to pay a premium in order for it to track my sleep, spo & heart. I have afib so that's a high point for me. With my Inspire 3 that only lasted the first 6 months then I had to pay for which I was not wanting to do. Thank you in advance.

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, you do not need to buy Fitbit premium to see sleep, SpO2 or heart rate data on your Fitbit watch it's optional. Note If you ever see a pop up in the app telling you to upgrade you can decline just go back or scroll to the bottom to look for that option to decline (many people miss this and think you have to upgrade when you see this message). And as a reminder, if you signed up for a free trial and didn't cancel it, you'll be charged as well. With the premium, you can see some extra data in the Fitbit app, I have a video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foSxm4qQj7GqY6Msi=6fo-YDkhPSdabAHf explaining the differences between the free and paid premium versions.

[@mercedesrivera5283]

if i buy separate band, will it fit?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, you can switch out the bands. If it's compatible, it will fit.

[@vellboyland7017]

See now im stuck between this and the inspire 3

[@AbbyBReviewing]

@vellboyland7017 Hi, I've also reviewed the Inspire 3 check out that video if you haven't! I would consider things like if you want a bigger or smaller display, if having a built-in GPS is important or not, to name a few to narrow your decision down.

[@boinkye]

I actually like the minimal display and prefer to use my phone for additional details. I have an Apple Watch and that does too much. Lol

[@AbbyBReviewing]

That's fair lol, and thanks for sharing 😊

[@Oceangirl1234]

Morning after pill? Odd

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Surprisingly, it's more common than you'd think. Literally at the pharmacy today, the couple at checkout beside me bought one.

[@benosterland2258]

How is the vibration strength of the charge 6

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, the vibration strength is good. Not too harsh but also not too light that I'd sleep through an alarm or anything

[@zrinkaxg]

Fitbit is fine,but not durable... it lasts for a year max if you're lucky... the battery dies and it becomes useless

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Fitbit is not the most durable option out there hence the lower prices but, I have Fitbits that have lasted much longer than a year. I guess everyone has different experiences though.

[@jackchueh1231]

Why are all the watch faces horrible

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Why ask me that? 😂 Sounds like a question to ask Fitbit

[@Oceangirl1234]

@@AbbyBReviewingI don't think they r asking u directly - it is merely his frustration towards Fitbit 😅

The radiation is holding me back from buying a Fitbit

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hmm but most smartphones and smartwatches emits low level radio frequency (radiation) though.
