Small, simple, inexpensive fitness and sleep tracker with ECG function.
I bought my Charge 6 during Target’s Black Friday sale last year, 2023, for $99. I’m glad I bought it. It’s still working great and the battery lasts for days. I needed a fitness tracker to keep track of my workouts and log and rate my sleep. I didn’t want the over-bloated fancy-schmacy apple wrist product. I already have enough apple products. In fact, I’m using the Fitbit app on my iPhone to link to my Charge 6. The Charge 6 is simple, skinny, and almost unobtrusive compared to other products. I wear it on my right wrist and wear my automatic dive watch on my left wrist. I prefer the simplicity of an analog watch so I wanted the smallest possible fitness tracker to wear while I’m wearing my dive watch. Yes, I wear two watches. I workout 5-7 days a week, mostly because the Fitbit wants you to workout at least 5 times a week. It’s weird that I used to work out 3-4 days a week but now, because of this Charge 6, I voluntarily workout more. For exercise tracking, the Charge does a fair job of detecting an exercise. It’s actually easier and faster to select the exercise manually. The ECG function is very accurate considering that the reading is coming from this tracker. I get an official ECG from my primary doctor every year. I’ve compared the printouts and the ECG reading from the Charge 6 does a good job. There’s also a countdown timer and alarm clock that I use all the time. It’s a Google product so you can set it up for Google Pay and YouTube music. I don’t use those much. Big bonus - it’s much cheaper and much simpler than the very popular apple product.
