Charge 6 won’t sync or load or recognize thru the new Google Health. Anyone else experiencing this? Did all the reboots disconnects reconnects etc.

Google is going to tank the product.

Go Garmin.

I think I’ll have to go with the Apple Watch.

Did you upgrade the Fitbit?

I did that and it works ok. But, now it autostarts some timer when I'm out running / biking. Gotta get rid of that next.

<——Former Fitbitter hardcore activity for 4+ years

As an iPhone user, it felt like a lateral move as to capabilities but seamless integration via using the Apple Watch. Mrs Füt (no pics) is still fighting to swim upstream with a Fitbit tied to an iPhone.

I’ve bought her an Apple Watch when I converted about six years ago. It’s still new in-box and she has become really really expert at cussing at Fitbit, Google and Apple.

Battery life sucks with an Apple Watch. No debate. And I always immediately close apps and it still sucks. The watch setting to automatically enable the Low Power mode on it when I run (or any exercise) helps a “bit”.

Good luck in your choice, I think I’d go Garmin if I had to choose another option than Apple.

Had a Fitbit since 2015. Bought an Apple Watch 2 years ago but didn’t like its tracking compared to my Fitbit at the time. Charging the Apple watch now and will give it a go. Can’t do anything with the Charge so f it.

I moved to a Garmin Vivoactive because I was having all kinds of issues with my Fitbit after Google took over. Like it much better than my old Fitbit.
