One delighted user said: "Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts. "Battery easily lasts a week, which is a big plus. The sleep and activity insights have actually helped me make small changes that stick. Premium membership is a nice bonus too. Overall, a solid upgrade and totally worth it." Someone else agreed, adding: "Bought this for a family member, it is a nice little bit of kit for those wanting all of the fitness and health tracking features you need. "Happy with the battery life and it easy enough to use. Overall good value for money amongst a lot of other smart watch/fitness trackers that are out there." However, another user was frustrated that the watch didn't work when placed over tattoos. They said: "No heart readings [over my tattoos] so I had to change arms and have it point where there's no ink." Someone else complained about the GPS tracking, saying it was "very inaccurate and disconnected frequently" They added: "Would not recommend if your aim is to monitor distance on runs/bike rides etc." But a five-star reviewer hailed the Google Fitbit Charge 6 for playing a big part in their weight loss journey. They said: "From little movement to 10km every morning. The best buy I have made. "Reduced weight by 2.5 stones and feel fitter than I have for years. The watch didn't actually achieve this but 100% contributed toward it." Another satisfied customer wrote: "I really like Fitbits and this is my second watch as my old Charge 5 died in the pool. I am blown away! A really solid battery life as usual from Fitbit and lots of tracking features too! "Love the new workouts and Google Maps, and the obsidian black colour looks great. It also is really simple to use and turns on when you look at it automatically. "The price is quite reasonable because of the performance you are getting and the accurate heart rate. The watch's aluminium frame is durable just like the old Charge 5!" Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Fitbit smartwatch hailed 'best buy' by delighted tech fan drops to under £100
Amazon has slashed 29% off the Google Fitbit Charge 6 Activity Tracker with a free 6 month premium membership Smartwatches have become a must-have gadget for many, allowing the wearer to track fitness goals, sleeping patterns, and some even take calls and send texts. There are several options for shoppers to peruse, but the likes of Google Fitbit and Apple arguably dominate the market as a reliable and stylish choice. Amazon has just made it more affordable to get hold of the Google Fitbit Charge 6 by offering a deal that makes it almost 30% cheaper. On sale for £98.99 down from £139.99 in all three colours (orange, black and white), the smartwatch comes with complimentary 6 months premium membership. The Fitbit Charge 6 is compatible with iOS 15 or higher and Android OS 9.0 or higher, and has a battery life of seven days, as well as being water-resistant up to 50m. It boasts more than 40 exercise modes, sleep tracking, 24/7 heart rate monitor and a daily readiness score. Those looking for other features besides fitness can explore elements such as Google Wallet, Google Maps and when connected to a phone, the Fitbit shows notifications and allows calls and texts. Customers praise the battery life of the Google Fitbit Charge 6, with one person saying it is 'far better than the Apple watch', due to this. Someone else said: "The reason I bought this was the battery life. Having a device which you need to charge every day or every other day is just not practical for me and the battery on this lasts almost a week." Google Fitbit Charge 6 Activity Tracker £139.99 £98.99 Amazon Shop deal Product Description If the Fitbit isn't quite within budget, Amazon also offers the Fitpolo Smart Watch for £38.99. Shoppers say it is a 'good value smart watch' that is 'packed with features'. Garmin is another top-rated brand in the world of smartwatches and has currently slashed the price of the Venu 2S Smartwatch by £60. Meanwhile, Samsung's range of smart watches are also popular. The chic piece of tech would typically set shoppers back £349.99 but is now on sale for £199. Not only does it look good on the wrist, it has up to 10 days battery life, more than 25 preloaded sports apps, animated workout coaches, music storage and touch-free payments. Regarding the Fitbit Charge 6, there have been some glowing reviews left for the device. Someone said: "Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts. Battery easily lasts a week, which is a big plus. The sleep and activity insights have actually helped me make small changes that stick. Premium membership is a nice bonus too. Overall, a solid upgrade and totally worth it." Another person pointed out that the subscription isn't a must, meaning after 6 months shoppers don't necessarily need to upgrade to make use of the watch. They wrote: "Highly recommend - slim design, high quality and fits great. Packed with useful features with no need for a premium subscription." While there are a number of features that score points with shoppers, the Fitbit Charge 6 does lack in one area. A less happy customer wrote: "Have received my tracker and all working well. A little disappointed that Fitbit chose not to include the ability to count stairs as my previous charge 4 used to do, however the additions of oxygen levels, skin temperature and ECG do make up for this." But, it helped someone else achieve their fitness goal, with the consumer leaving a five star review that reads: "From little movement to 10km every morning. The best buy I have made. Reduced weight by 2.5 stones and feel fitter than I have for years. The watch didn't actually achieve this but 100% contributed toward it."

Google Fitbit that 'does everything you need' drops to lowest price ever on Amazon
'Superb watch. Has plenty of tech you need at a very good price. Battery life is awesome. Screen visibility in sunlight is still very clear. Much better value than an Apple Watch.' As people take the first steps to start their fitness journey, many choose to keep themselves accountable by tracking their goals and stats through a fitness watch. From monitoring your heart rate to counting your daily steps, fitness trackers can be really helpful for keeping an eye on your progress. While there are many fitness trackers and smartwatches on the market, some have been given a heftier price tag than others. Fitness fanatics will be pleased to know however, that a well known Google watch has been knocked down to its cheapest price ever. The Google Fitbit Charge 6 normally retails for £139.99, but in a limited time deal, Amazon has slashed the price down to £108.99 - which is £1 cheaper than Google's current reduced selling price.

I've worn the Google Fitbit Charge 6 for almost a year — and it's on sale for under $160 at Best Buy Canada
Over the last few years, fitness trackers have become all the rage in the health and wellness space, thanks to the ultra-personalized biometric data they can provide. Fitness smartwatches have always intrigued me, but sticker shock — and, oftentimes, their bulky designs — have always scared me off. That's why when I came across the Google Fitbit Charge 6, I was intrigued. The health and fitness tracker has a sleek, minimal design, and thanks to Best Buy Canada's Grand Opening Sale, it's on sale for $160 — far less expensive than many similar smartwatches. Could this health tracker help me stay motivated and reach my fitness goals? Would it teach me something new about my body? To read my full review of the Google Fitbit Charge 6 Advanced Health and Fitness Tracker, scroll below. Save on the Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker with GPS, heart rate and sleep. The Google Fitbit Charge 6 is a wearable fitness tracker that tracks your heart rate, exercise and movements, thanks to its built-in GPS. This device is worn on your wrist like a regular watch and automatically keeps track of your daily physical activity. From daily step count to heart rate, calories burned, distance travelled and a sleep log, the watch can provide health data at a glance and give reminders to help you meet your goals. The Google Fitbit Charge 6 also comes with a free app that provides more thorough data about your physical health and habits. The app tracks your route on bike rides or runs through a built-in GPS, provides sleep insights like how much REM sleep you got, and records how much time you spend engaging in heart-pumping activities. Unlike many other fitness trackers, the Google Fitbit Charge 6 is quite small, so it's discreet and easier to blend in with my daily wardrobe. It's also lightweight and can be worn comfortably 24/7. It's even waterproof, so you can wear it in the shower or in the pool. It's easy to set up: The first thing you need to do is charge your watch, which takes about an hour. While it charges, you can download the app onto your smartphone and create your profile. You'll be asked to provide personal details like your height, weight and gender so the watch can better track you. When your watch is fully charged, all you need to do is put it on, and you're all set. I can typically go 6-7 days before I need to charge the watch, so the battery life is awesome. Intuitive user interface: I am not a tech-savvy person, so if I'm going to invest in a piece of tech, it's got to be simple to use. I was pleasantly surprised by just how intuitive the watch and app are. The watch is perfect for at-a-glance data detailing your daily physical activity. Simply tap the screen and scroll down to see how many steps you've taken, how many calories you've burned and how far you've travelled that day. You can log an exercise on the watch or in the app by choosing from a menu of 40 exercises ranging from aerobics, golfing, CrossFit and dancing. In-depth insight: The app provides insights into my health and habits that I would not know otherwise, like a stress management score based on your body's signs of stress, insights into your sleep cycle, and heartbeats per minute. It presents the data in a way that is easily digestible and identifies trends in your habits so you know if you're making progress in reaching your goals. Records activity automatically: My favourite feature of the Google Fitbit Charge 6 is that it records your activity automatically, so even if you forget to begin a workout on the device (which I often do), it still tracks it. The watch will vibrate and let you know when it detects that you've started an exercise like biking, running or walking. From there, you just click YES, and it logs your workout data. Look and feel: One of the biggest factors that has stopped me from getting into fitness trackers is their physical appearance. I'm not a fan of the bulky metal frame and big watch face strapped to your wrist. I appreciate how small and subtle the Google Fitbit Charge 6 is, and because of its size, it's so lightweight to the point that I forget that I'm wearing it. You can buy additional bands that can be swapped out, which is also a plus. The only thing that really irks me about this watch is the charger. It's bulky and unlike any other charger I have, meaning if I misplace it (which I have been known to do) or it breaks, I have to order another one. If you misplace things often, like I do, you might want to order a backup charger so you're never left with a dead Fitbit. ⭐️ 4.5 stars 💬 850+ reviews 🏆 "Perfect gift" The Fitbit is a fan favourite on Best Buy Canada, with hundreds of five-star reviews singing its praises. One shopper calls it a "perfect activity tracker," noting it "helps keep [them] motivated" to hit their daily movement goals. It's the "perfect gift for those you want to help keep motivated to a better lifestyle," they write. The Fitbit is a "great little device," comments another. It can be worn comfortable day and night and is "perfect as a gift," they add. While hundreds shoppers say they like the screen and built-in GPS, some which the tracker had a "longer battery life." If you're looking for a user-friendly fitness tracker that will help you keep motivated and provide in-depth insights into your health and habits, the Google Fitbit Charge 6 will give you all that and more. It provides all the basic health metrics, automatically tracks activity, and sends reminders to move your body throughout the day. For more in-depth data, download the app to see things like your running route, your sleep cycle or your body's stress management score. In my experience, I think the Google Fitbit Charge 6 is worth it, especially if you don't love the look of bulky smartwatches. It's been a total game-changer for me and has helped me crush my fitness goals.
