Fitbit Charge 6 - A Serious Runner's Perspective

The Fitbit Charge 6 watch is an average fitness tracker at best.
Compared against top competitors in the health and fitness business, this watch doesn’t come close.
It will track your steps, calories burnt, and activity in minutes as per the USA health recommendations, however as a fitness enthusiast and experienced ultra-runner it cannot offer me any assistance at all.
To be honest, I didn’t have high hopes for the Fitbit brand having a reputation for unreliability and unfortunately, my mind wasn’t changed throughout this month-long experiment.

Why are some saying she is wearing it wrong? I wouldn't know as I'm new to all this but it seems to me the under wrist is where the main blood vessels (they take measurements there not at the top in dr. offices) are so would that be a great place for the sensors to be?

Huawei also offer a smart wake up and you can set different time windows for the the Huawei. I wondered what that annoying buzzing is when run I thought it buzzes me with such nonsense it does not even bother to light the screen. My 30 notes Huawei band was a far better tracker for running. The charge 6 also has of faults got mine less than a month ago straps falls off. GPS does not work correctly when cycle. The sleep score often does not show in the watch just the app. The youtube is a rip off. I did get google maps to work. I am glad to see a review that is not just advertisement. The reviews I watched prior to buyer were not balanced

What watches would you recommend in a similar price range ?

Coros Pace 3 If you want the basic activity tracker style bracelet: Garmin Vivosmart 5 (but is overpriced for what it is) Apple watch SE is practically free hardware with a carrier data subscription (daily charging) - nicest hardware of the bunch and most accurate HR - watchOS 10.2 has a lot of running and activity features for a bunch of sport profiles. But this locks you in to the Apple ecosystem. Garmin 255 when on sale: good battery life, great for a beginner but it can deliver more advanced metrics too. I would say Garmin 255 delivers on best bang if you want some algorithmic health data. If you only want track activities and don’t care about algorithmic health analysis then Coros Pace 3. Apple Watch SE if you have an iPhone and want a feature rich, nice looking watch and don’t mind charging it daily. With the Apple Watch if you charge while getting ready (shower/bathing, dressing, etc) in the morning and at night… I have found that 30 min charging here and there is enough to keep it going without needing to dedicate a charging period.

I own a fitbit charge 6 myself and i can't disagree with the most she has to say in this review. If you are a runner Fitbit Charge 6 definitely is NOT the best pick! My main sport is crossfit. As an activity tracker the FB Charge 6 is enough for me, especially this cheap. Sleep measure and HR is accurate. The standalone GPS is bad, though in combination with your phone and "Dynamic GPS" (you have to have it on you during the run), it works fine. I also use spotify on my Iphone for music during running so not an issue for me. Design is very nice, playfull interface. But if your main sport is running or triatlon i wouldn't recommend it. A Garmin or Polar is a better pick if you're serious about getting better and still can use the same specs...

Indeed. That's why we wanted to specify this review is for runners specifically. On a side note, I use my fitbit charge 4 as a fitness tracker daily. It's the last one to support floor counting!
