What are your thoughts about Charge 6?

[sheilab3]

I have been a Fitbit customer for almost 10 years lately happy with the Luxe.

since there has been no updated models I am assuming they will stop making and expect user to move to the Inspire. However the Inspire has the pin watch band which I find very difficult to use and I am sure many seniors would agree.  Otherwise I would probably buy that.

The problem with the charge is they do not have one clock face suitable for older eyes. Too many in your face colours, hard to read numbers (broken lines or faded). It is nice to have variety but consider seniors, this is a big market with money to spend but don’t need all the bells and whistles of a sports watch.

Hello @sheilab3 

Hopefully, it won't be too much longer before we know what clock faces will be available for the Charge 6.

I can relate to your comment about need a good clock face for us seniors with older eyes, one where it is easy to see the information and not too cluttered.

Yes that's true

I agree.  I'm not a senior but I'm a very nearsighted Activity Director who works with seniors.  I don't wear some of my older Charge models because the screen was too hard for me to read.

You may want to hold off to see what others experience. My new Charge 6 won't even charge or turn on, and customer support has been useless.

The Charge 6 is terrible! Battery life is awful!

My battery lasts 1 day now my charge 6 won't charge

The charge 6 would be my 3rd  Fitbit now. I had it for just short of a week and I am seriously thinking of going back to my old tracker.. The Youtube reviews seemed to have over hyped this product. Its been a frustrating week. Odd data readings and the GPS dropping mid exercise plus a problem communicating with Strava has not made this an  pleasant experience. .All I wanted for it to do is work. I don't care that it is not 100% accurate.  it just needed to work as good as the previous one's I owned..

Functional solid while maintaining it's sense of boringly blandness.
