I'm coming from a Fitbit Charge 2. I was excited that the Charge 6 has a bunch of additional sensors, but they mostly seem to be a bust:
SpO2 sensor: Can't see any real-time output from this sensor. Apparently it only works when you're asleep and you can only see a nightly average. Why?!
Skin temperature: Also can't see any real-time data. Or any absolute data at all. Temperature is only measured at night and you can apparently only see average variability. Huh?!
Electrodermal sensor: Also can't see any data from this. There's an app called "EDA scan" which just makes you sit still for 3 minutes with your fingers on the sides of the watch, and after you do that, instead of telling you anything about anything, it just asks you what your mood is. My mood is angry because I just wasted 3 minutes waiting to answer a survey question.
Barometric pressure sensor (i.e., altitude sensor): I guess they took this out a couple versions back, so now the watch won't tell me how many flights of stairs I've climbed. That's something I liked about the Charge 2 and I'm disappointed now.
I wonder if other people are similarly disappointed?
