Your phone must be within range for the Fitbit Charge 6 to access some of the applications that are offered by its parent business, such include Google Maps and YouTube Music. For example, you can start a walk, bike ride, or driving navigation from your phone, and the Charge 6 will display the directions on your wrist in turn-by-turn fashion.
Because the Charge 6 may operate as a remote control for your phone, this also applies to YouTube Music. Even while you’re working out, you can look at the track list, switch between playlists, and adjust the level all from your wrist. If you share data with YouTube Music, it will also make exercise-specific music recommendations for you to listen to as you work out. The Charge 6 does not allow music to be loaded onto the tracker and does not support offline storage from YouTube Music.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]A magnetic charging cable that is unique to the Charge 6 and that attaches to the underside of the device in a manner that is not entirely secure is included in the package. My experience led me to believe that it was a touch too simple to remove. You should only need to charge the Charge 6 about once per several days, which is a fortunate thing. Having said that, one significant advancement that can be made in comparison to the Fitbit Charge 5 is that you will no longer be required to select one of six sports profiles that are somewhat constrained on the tracker itself.

Where to get Fitbit Charge 6?
Because the complete list of 38 distinct sports modes is now viewable from your wrist, you won’t have to waste time reorganising that list or opening the Fitbit app the next time you want to try Indoor Climbing for the first time. You can also now set up pace alerts for walks, runs, and bike rides from your wrist instead of having to go for your smartphone. When you enter into each activity mode, if you scroll down, you can establish a goal for the activity (activity zone, duration, distance, or calories burnt), as well as set laps.
This allows you to track your progress without having to constantly check your phone. When you start a new session, the laps will be turned off by default; however, you have the option to turn them on so that you will be notified every mile (or kilometre) with an update on your current pace. Active Zone Minutes was a feature that was added to the Charge line of Fitbit trackers a number of years ago.
