The Fitbit Charge 6 is the latest addition to Google’s most popular product line. A smart bracelet well updated in its core hardware and better integration with Google apps and services.

As elegant as you can see in the pictures, the new Fitbit bracelet has a full color AMOLED display, capable of displaying content in virtually any lighting conditions. It is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass and its production in aluminium It promises durability and lightness.

In terms of design differences with the Charge 5, it is said that there is now a haptic button on the side of the device. Reinventing this user-requested button that offers another way to interact with the interface.

Like the vast majority of wearable smart electronic devices, the bracelet focuses on tracking sports activities and health. All of Fitbit’s standard software features are present on the Charge 6, including an ECG app that uses a more accurate heart rate sensor (60% say Fitbit), step and sleep tracking, stress measurement, EDA scanning, a daily readiness score, and support for more than 40 exercise modes.

The device’s sensors are able to measure blood oxygen and skin temperature to help more accurately track sleep, menstrual cycles and possible disease onset. It also has a built-in GPS receiver so you can run, walk and exercise outside without needing your phone to track your location.

And a lot of Google

Since its acquisition by Google, Fitbit and its devices have gradually received software and service updates from the new owner and as expected The Charge 6 will be the one that integrates the best. In fact, it will be one of the first to include playback controls from Google Music, Google Maps notifications or support for Google Wallet payments.

The new Google Wallet integration may give Charge 5 users a reason to upgrade, as the old Fitbit Pay method is starting to look outdated. YouTube Music’s wrist controls are useful for subscribers to the service, though the continued lack of Spotify support is frustrating for others. Integration with Google Maps is always welcome: you can plan a route on your smartphone and view turn-by-turn directions from your wristband.

The new Fitbit bracelet will be available from October 12 ° in three color combinations to choose from, black, silver and gold. Like the previous models, the straps are interchangeable with many others offered by the company or from other manufacturers. Starting today, it can be booked in 30 countries (including Spain) at the official price 159.95 euros/dollar. An attractive price for one of the best quantifiable wristbands on the market, which comes at a lower price than the Charge 5.
