Fitbit Charge 6

£119.99, fitbit.com

The Fitbit Charge 6 is yet another contender in the bustling fitness tracker market. Affordably priced, this sleek device is designed to be a comprehensive tool for health and fitness monitoring. Its goal? To merge the convenience of a fitness band with the added capabilities of a smartwatch. With features like heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and new integrations like Google Maps and Google Wallet, the Charge 6 promises a balance of functionality and innovation. But does it deliver?

Simple setup

The Fitbit Charge 6 arrives ready to slip straight into your daily routine and, thankfully, the setup process is pretty straightforward and hassle-free. Simply unbox the device, charge it and connect it to the Fitbit app on your smartphone. You'll need a Google account, of course, but the intuitive interface guides you through a quick configuration, ensuring it's ready to track your movements without any annoying tweaks to make.

Design and first impressions

The first thing you'll notice about the Fitbit Charge 6 is its sleek, modern design. Marrying aesthetics with functionality, this compact wearable sports a streamlined, band-style design that's relatively harmless in terms of looks, making it suitable for everyday wear. The device's lightweight build also means it sits comfortably on the wrist for long periods, blending in nicely with both workout gear and casual attire.

This latest iteration in the Charge series features an aluminium case and a high-resolution AMOLED touchscreen display, offering crisp visuals and responsive touch controls. The screen is also pretty bright, meaning it can be read in various lighting conditions.
