Shopper reviews
The Fitbit Google Charge 6 Activity Tracker has an average score of 4.2 out of five stars from more than 5,400 Amazon reviews. One shopper said: "Great tracker, I have used Fitbit trackers in the past, but hadn't had one for about two years. This is definitely a step up from the ones I used to use."
Another added: "This thing is amazing, so easy to use. You start walking (and) it'll auto track the walk for you. I played football today and it tracked the football session, it tracks sleep automatically, at the gym it has an easy-to-use workout section. Also a smart wake feature which gently buzzes on your wrist at the best time to wake you in your time frame, which I absolutely need. I bought this mainly for heart rate monitoring for the gym, but it's so much more."
Some reviewers were more critical, noting that battery life may be shorter than advertised unless certain functions are turned off. One wrote: "This watch is comfortable to wear, does all the stuff it says on the description, (but) I have to charge it every five days (not seven days as described)."
Alternatives
As an alternative, shoppers could consider the Sekonda Fitness Tracker Pink Silicone Strap Smart Watch for £40, which offers heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen tracking and sleep analysis. At Currys, the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 in black is available for £49.99, down from £59.99, and tracks sports, steps, distance, calories and sleep, with a battery life of up to 13 days.
