Running with the Charge 6

Charge 6 - Are you able to go for a run without a phone and track the run to upload to Strava?

Also can you add music to the Charge 6 and connect this to bluetooth headphones?

You can try to use built-in GPS and go for run without phone but most likely the GPS will fail (never worked for me, I always use "Phone" mode so need to have phone with me).

To upload to Strava you need GPS data in your run and if built-in GPS fails, it may not sync.

No Fitbit can currently store music. Charge 6 supports only remote controls for YTMusic (which requires mobile phone with you and YT premium account).

Charge 6 isn't best choice for running. I find it quite disappointing at tracking this particular type of sport.
