Victor, a seasoned mobile technology expert, has spent over a decade at PhoneArena, exploring the depths of mobile photography and reviewing hundreds of smartphones across Android and iOS ecosystems.

The Fitbit Charge 6 comes two years after the launch of the similar-looking Charge 5, and the new model now has a deeper integration with Google services, a more accurate heart rate sensor and the starting price has gone down, not up.

Is it pretty? I wouldn't say so. But it's not ugly either. The default sport loop"Infinity" bands are soft and comfortable, but definitely look very sporty. Thankfully, you have Horween leather bands going for $50 that you can purchase separately to style it up. For example, during a workout, on the screen you can see just one of various tracked metrics.

I was also impressed that the Charge 6 detected a nap I took about an hour after I woke up , something I think many other watches could have easily overlooked.The Fitbit app is the place where you will find all your workout data since the Charge 6 itself does not show all of that.
