Best watch for tracking location?

My dad goes paddle boarding and he's looking for a watch that will track his location so that he can look at his paths later and even upload those routs onto different apps. I was looking at the charge 6, but I'm not sure if it can do all that. The watch needs to be waterproof of course and he'd rather not have to charge it very often. Do you know what Fitbit would be best for this? Would the charge 6 fit his needs?

Hi @kemanpana     All current Fitbit models have a Paddle board shortcut, but it might not meet his needs.  Fitbits don’t give stroke rate or distance per stroke.  Some users want this.  It is also to know in advance the other apps he uses.  Check to see if they integrate with Fitbit.

All Fitbits are water resistant.  I can’t comment on the Charge 6 built in GPS accuracy.  My Sense 2 built in GPS is not very accurate.  I think the ECG and stress management hardware interferes with the GPS antenna.  The Charge 6 has this same hardware.  As a comparison, my Ionic had the best GPS of any Fitbit I used.
