I picked up a Charge 6 to upgrade from an older Sense but the "upgrade" is not going well. Perhaps I chose the wrong fitbit to upgrade to?
I use a custom clock face on the Sense that consumes data from my automated glucose monitor (Dexcom G7) but don't see a way to do this on a Charge 6. Any solutions for custom faces?
I don't like any of the standard faces. Any custom faces available for Charge 6?
Initial charge dropped from 100% to 31% overnight. Recharge went from 100% to 97% in 15 minutes. Not certain what's up with battery life but it doesn't seem right. I get better battery life out of the old Sense and that was actually the reason I decided it was time to upgrade because it was not lasting as long as it once did. I read others complaining about battery life. Is this a common problem with the ironically named "Charge 6"?
The Android Fitbit app only allows one device so I have 2 profiles and switch between them. Glad I didn't replace the Sense because I'm about to return it. I hope someone shares a secret before I give up.

Best AnswerHi @Carljb I’m sorry, but the Charge 6 doesn’t support third party clock faces and can’t meet your needs. It is a tracker, not a smartwatch. There is no way to get your Dexcom data on that device.

Thank you for that answer. I bought it assuming I can use it along side the Sense but discovered that the Fitbit application will only let me replace it. That led me to believe it was closer to a smart watch replacement. Since I can't use both under one profile, I bought the wrong tracker.

@Carljb I don't use a CGM, but I try to stay informed. This issue comes up a lot in this forum. If you use Glance, the app gallery says it is available for the Sense 2 and Versa 4. I don't know anything about user experience with the Sense2/Versa 4.
According to Dexcom's information, the only smartwatch that has direct to watch integration is the Apple Watch. The Pixel Watch doesn't have direct integration, but apparently can be linked with another app like Gluroo or x-Drip.
