Fitbit Charge 6 is the most recent addition to Google’s wearables lineup, including greater health tracking and even deeper interaction with Google apps such as YouTube Music, Google Pay, and Google Maps.
The Charge 6 has a 1.04-inch color AMOLED display with Always-On Display (AOD) support. The tracker is made of aluminum, glass, and resin, and it has a haptic side button for control.
The Charge 6 appears to excel in heart rate tracking, thanks to an improved optical sensor paired with new electrical sensors and machine learning algorithms built by Google. Charge 6 is expected to provide “60% more accurate” heart rate readings than its predecessor. You’ll also be able to connect the tracker to exercise machines and receive real-time heart rate data while working out.
Charge 6 monitors your blood oxygen (SpO2) levels as well as your ECG for any atrial fibrillation on your heart rate rhythm. You can track your sleep, stress, skin temperature and breathing rate. Fitbit has 40+ activity modes, as well as support for VO2 max data. Charge 6 is also 5 ATM water-resistant, so you can swim with it, and it has built-in GPS and GLONASS tracking.
Google has added functionality for YouTube Music controls and Google Maps with on-screen turn-by-turn directions. Google Wallet payments are also supported by the NFC receiver. The battery life is rated at 7 days under normal conditions.
Fitbit Charge 6 is available in three colors: obsidian, coral, and porcelain. The band is priced at $160/€160/£140 and can be pre-ordered on the Fitbit website. Fitbit India also lists the tracker as arriving shortly.
