I’ve been using charge 4 for four years and lost week the connector which connects it to the strap broke and i haven’t been able to figure out how to repair it. Meanwhile i do have a spare apple watch but i hate it. I really miss the fitbit interface, steps tracking, sleep, etc. It helped me lose a ton of weight.
So which one should be my next purchase- charge 5 or 6? Keeping in mind I don’t really require new technology as long as it works like charge 4.

Hello @revalako1
You will likely be better off with a Charge 6 since the Charge 5 is discontinued.
Just to let you know, neither the Charge 5 or 6 have an altimeter which is needed to track floors, in case that's an activity you track.

Hi, @revalako1! Came here to say pretty much the same thing as @RiekoC. It will be a pretty similar experience between the 5 and 6. One thing to note is that the battery life might be slightly better on the 6, just because they're physically newer devices and batteries degrade over time. Of course, YMMV, I have a Luxe that still lasts me the better part of 5 days.
