Paywalls are stupid, and they break down all the time

Hello 👋🏻 Almost all wearables will under or overestimate steps to an extent due to false hand movements and shorter movements around the house. In my experience the Charge 6 overestimated steps by around 300-500 steps compared to the Garmin Vivosmart 5 and Garmin Venu 2, both of which I wore at the same time as the Charge 6. With that said, I tried the Amazfit Bip 5 recently (almost half the price of Charge 6) but it underestimated steps by around 700-800 steps compared to the two Garmins. Overall the Charge 6 is not that far off and sufficiently reliable. Ultimately, the steps are only a rough estimate whichever wearable you buy, I wouldn't worry a lot about the steps accuracy. Hope that helps 😀

It does, thanks ​@@thewearableist

Hello 👋🏻 thanks for watching! You can find all the info on using Googe Wallet on the Charge 6 here: support.google.com/fitbit/answer/14236521?hl=en#zippy=%2Cwhy-dont-i-see-the-google-wallet-tile%2Chow-do-i-set-up-contactless-payments You need to make sure your card is supported first, use this link to check: www.fitbit.com/global/us/technology/google-apps/banks Here are the steps once you've confirmed your card/bank is supported: To start, add at least 1 credit or debit card from a participating bank in the Fitbit app: -With your device nearby, from the Today tab in the Fitbit app, and tap the devices icon . -Tap your device, then tap the Google Wallet tile. -Follow the on-screen instructions to add a payment card. In some cases, your bank may require additional verification. -If you’re setting up contactless payments for the first time, you may be prompted to set a 4-digit PIN code for your device. Note that you also need passcode protection enabled for your phone. -After you add a card, follow the on-screen instructions to turn on notifications for your phone (if you haven’t already done so) to complete the setup. -You can add additional cards and choose which card to set as the default payment option on your device from the Google Wallet tile. Hope that helps 😀

Thanks for the info and what's the button on the charge 6 charger USB cable?

Hello. There isn't any button on the cable as far as I know and seen when I tested it. If you're referring to the golden pins, those are the magnetic charging pins that latch onto the Charge 6 when you charge it. The circular thing on the USB-A side is not a button, it just glows when the fitbit is charging. All I got was a standard USB-A to Magnetic charging cable. For info, this is the charging cable I got: www.fitbit.com/global/uk/products/accessories/charge6-charging-cable The circular thing on the USB-A side is not a button, just glows I think when you charge it. Hope that helps 😀

Hello! Yes I agree, the Fitbit app updated very recently after filming this to a colour scheme that isn't really intuitive unfortunately! Other apps like Garmin Connect have a much better UI.

Hi. I've had a quick look at both Inspire 3 and Charge 6. If its sleep tracking you're mainly after rather than all the other bells and whistes like ECG, Google Maps etc., then it makes sense to go for the slightly cheaper Inspire 3 (both do sleep tracking). You can also answer a couple of questions on this link and let Fitbit recommend you a tracker: www.fitbit.com/global/uk/products/find-your-fit Although I haven't tested Inspire 3 on this channel, I've done a quick comparison against Charge 6, here are the main features you won't get with Inspire 3 (but available on Charge 6): In-built GPS, Google Wallet, ECG sensor, EDA app, KZfaq Music controls, Google Maps. So if the above features are not important to you then I'd agree with your decision on Inspire 3. Hope that helps 😀

I was looking for a good sleep tracker and was going to get the inspire 3 and made the mistake of getting the charge 6. Firstly the charge 6 has a bit uncomfortable strap that folds under not over like normal watch straps I replaced the strap after 4 days. The charge 6 has GPS that does not work. The youtube music control requires a youtube fee of 10 a month. The google maps is not full maps just telling you when to turn. 3 weeks ago with in an hour of buying I new I hade made the wrong choice. You could not try them on properly in the shop , When I tried it on and then went to use you tube and found have to pay I realised this was not so good,

Hi, thanks for watching! Yep, fully agree with you and these were exactly the annoying things for me too...the biggest one for me was the paywall in the Fitbit app. Having said that, it still did the fundamentals of fitness tracking (really) well. But yeah there are some cons to the Charge 6.

Hi, thanks for watching! Skip to 12:50 for battery life test Hope that helps 😀

Hello 👋🏻 thanks for watching Yeah the Fit 3 is on my list and coming up soon. Make sure you hit that Subscribe button so you don't miss the video when its out 😀

Hi 👋🏻 I use the Polar H10 chest strap which uses Electro-cardiogram (ECG) to gather HR data (instead of optical sensors like on the Charge 6 and most other wrist-based wearables). Polar H10 is one of the most accurate ones out there, used commonly by athletes and is often considered the gold standard for HR measurements.
