The Charge 6 is the everyday-tracker value pick: accurate heart-rate and health sensors, ECG, built-in GPS and — new for this generation — Google Maps and Wallet on the wrist, for around €130. Multiple 2026 round-ups name it the best overall tracker.
The catch coaches should flag to clients: Fitbit’s most useful analysis (the deeper Sleep Profile, readiness, detailed trends) lives behind Fitbit Premium. As a hardware buy it’s excellent value; budget for the subscription if you want the full picture.
