This device helps minimize third-party distractions and notifications that other smartwatches may cause.
Many forms of data are captured, like steps, sleep, and heart rate, to provide a comprehensive view of your daily activity
Smartwatches need to be charged at least every other day, and millions don’t want another device loaded with third-party apps and constant distractions on their wrist. The Fitbit Charge 6 offers a powerful wearable in a sleek form factor with a battery life that only requires a top-up once a week.
With Google owning Fitbit, I see more Google integration in Fitbit devices. The Charge 6 includes support for playback controls of Google Music, Google Maps prompts on the tracker, and Google Wallet payment support. These features are provided in addition to the useful Fitbit functions, including detailed sleep tracking, EDA scans, Daily Readiness score, ECG measurements, step tracking, and an integrated GPS receiver for detailed outdoor tracking.
I urge you to buy this fitness tracker now, because over at Best Buy, the Fitbit Charge 6 is on sale at $100, its lowest price yet.Fitbit Charge 6
The Fitbit Charge 6 brings together all the top features from Fitbit with Google extras to make it the best fitness tracker available today.
Looking at the hardware, Fitbit provides a lovely 26 x 21.8 mm AMOLED touchscreen color display. It is made with Corning Gorilla Glass, which looks superb and responds flawlessly to swipes and taps. The aluminum case surrounds the display and extends to the back heart rate sensor with nice curves and appealing aesthetics. The tracker is water resistant to 50m, so you can wear it 24/7 without worry.
The heart rate sensor on the back has greatly improved. Fitbit states that it is 60% more accurate during vigorous activities than older Fitbit devices.
