The Fitbit Charge 6 is available for $93, down from $159.95, and includes a six-month Fitbit Premium subscription. It features an FDA-cleared EKG reader and improved heart rate monitoring. The Charge 6 tracks blood oxygen levels, sleep, and activity. It offers Bluetooth compatibility with exercise equipment and includes an NFC chip for Google Wallet. However, the always-on display reduces battery life to two days. An active Google account is now required due to Fitbit's account system migration. Alternatives like the Garmin Fenix 7S Pro offer premium features with no subscription fee.
The Charge 6 is the only fitness tracker under $200 with an FDA-cleared EKG reader, and it's better at measuring your heart rate than its predecessor.
Fitbit made strides to reach feature parity with fitness smartwatches by adding Bluetooth compatibility with exercise equipment and an NFC chip to the Charge 6.
The review notes that enabling the always-on display reduces battery life from seven days to two, which is a significant drawback.
The Garmin Fenix 7S Pro is a top choice for serious outdoor athletes due to its multi-band GPS, in-depth recovery metrics, guided exercises, and built-in flashlight.
