 What's up internet? We've talked about fitness trackers in the past and one of the more popular lines is Fitbit's Charge Line and the latest in that series is the Charge 6. But you might be wondering what's the difference between the 6, the 5 and the 4. Wonder no more because that's what we're going to talk about this video. I've tried all of them. I've used all of those for several months each. So you might be able to save a few bucks if you go for an older generation which has the features you need or to splurge it a bit more on maybe the newer models which you don't really need. But what you probably need is a Windows activation code which you can get for cheap from our sponsor. Piliin ang preferred Paypen logo. Wala pang 5 minutes nagsiziki ka na para sa Windows mo.

Right off the bat, GPS on this one is not that great. I had multiple times throughout my usual jog where the Fitbit would tell me and it would drop later on on the maps that it just lost connection to GPS and my location on the map would be like I'm teleporting through walls because suddenly I'm jumping from one location to another. This was consistent failure on the charge 4. So if you want accuracy and you're in an urban environment, the charge 4 might not be a good fit. Its screen is also not colored compared to the charge 5 and charge 6. Its charger is a different design. It's this claw-like thing which you have to really wrestle on to the charge 4 before it charges properly. It doesn't have the ESD sensor or the thing that you pinch on the charge 5 and charge 6 to register how stressed you are. So there is a clear divide between charge 4 and the 5 and the 6. What it does have going for it is that it's cheap now. You can probably find a good one still running that's second hand. Plus it does the basic tracking functions well. Sleep, steps, heart rate, all of those things seem to register accurately enough while I was using the charge 4. Now I was using a second hand charge 4 but to be fair, its battery life was still decent. Plus I'm not even a fan of the new sensors. Like that stress sensor thing. I barely use it on the 5 and the 6. So actually I was pretty happy with the 4. Plus it has the niftiest animations. You know the kind of notifications you get when you've hit 10,000 steps or some other kind of milestone during the day. The charge 4 had the nicest animations between all three of the models that I tried. And I happily used the charge 4 for more than a year actually. I didn't feel the need to upgrade. So if you're just looking for the basics and I know GPS should be part of the basics but for me it's more about tracking heart rate and steps rather than an accurate representation of where I went for my jog or my run. You can probably find a charge 4 that's still ticking and save yourself a few bucks since it is an older model. Now I'm not very careful with my fitness tracker so my charge 4 did get beat up a lot. Not a problem. It's sturdy enough to withstand most drops and accidental hits on the wall and things like that. No problem. Onto the charge 5 which I initially got first. My first Fitbit ever was a charge 5 and it does have a color screen. It does have that stress detector. It does have a similar charger to the charge 6. So there's a clean division between the 4 and the 5. A lot of new things got introduced into the 5 which aren't present in the 4 but which were carried on onto the 6. But the 5 was the one that I had for the shortest amount of time less than 6 months because it's battery died on me. So I don't know if that's a failure of that particular product line or I just got a lemon. But in less than a year my charge 5 died on me and that's when I decided to go with a second hand charge 4. But while I had the charge 5 I used it every day. Used it to track my sleep, my heart rate and my daily exercise. Everything was top notch. So the analytics I was getting seemed accurate enough. I did not have a problem with the GPS which I experienced later on with the charge 4. It was nice to have a colored screen but if that's what you're looking for wait until I talk about the charge 6. So as the charge 5 was my first wearable it was a good introduction to this kind of space. It was easy to set up and install easy to link to my phone easy to link to the Fitbit software. The software itself has evolved over time so I won't really talk about it. The UI has gotten a little better in the latest incarnation but it does take a little bit of getting used to. And for some reason Fitbit doesn't allow you to have multiple trackers. So let's say if you have a smartwatch which you want to wear to the office so you look a bit more dressed up compared to a casual tracker you have to manually add that smartwatch and remove the current fitness tracker that you're using. Even if they all connect to the Fitbit software. I know because I have a pixel watch it's a real pain in the ass and that's true regardless of what product you use whether 4, 5 or 6. As mentioned the 5 does introduce the new stress sense where you pinch the wearable and you have to keep it like that for 3 minutes and it tells you how stressed you are. On paper it sounds interesting in practice I rarely use it. So on paper the 5 sounds like a big jump from the 4 addition of a new sensor and better GPS color screen. But and moving now to the Charge 6 the Charge 6 has all of that but basically better. So I'm currently using now a Charge 6 the screen is better it seems a little bigger it seems a little brighter plus for sure the animations are more fluid. This is the easiest Fitbit among the 3 that I've tried to read while you're running. The font seems a bit bigger the animations as I mentioned the Charge 4 has the best animations the Charge 6 animations are you know kind of like blah but at the same time they look the best on the screen. So far it's also the best want to understand when you flip it and it actually shows the screen like flip to look at compared to the Charge 4 and the Charge 5 it has a stress sensor that we saw in the Charge 5 and its GPS is good. Again, no problems unlike with the Charge 4. But if you're choosing between the Charge 4 and the Charge 5 actually I would recommend the Charge 4 just because you can save a bit of money I don't really care about the color screen I don't really care about the stress sensor but if you already have a Charge 4 and are thinking of upgrading then I don't see any reason why you would want to go with the 5 skip to the 6 it has a better screen better animation on the screen and it's a lot easier to interact with the device when interacting with it is so fluid the responses to the Charge 6 I'm not sure if they slapped in a better processor again, I don't like to look at specs I go more on the actual user experience my actual user experience with the Charge 6 is that it's very smooth with the 4 and the 5 sometimes there's a little bit of a delay sometimes you would toggle the exercise on to walk or to run it would take just a little bit of time to get there nothing like that with the Charge 6 plus the Charge 6 has the best battery life I've experienced with any of the 3 models like I can go several days and again I'm a religious user so it's basically on me all the time and I do have a daily exercise which I try to do in spite of all of those things I can go several days without charging the Charge 6 from a value standpoint again, there are some things about the Charge 6 I don't really use like the stress sensor but the little things about it I do like like the slightly bigger screen seems like a slightly bigger screen it's snappiness in response time all of those I think are worth a bit more so if you're looking for a basic fitness tracker to track sleep to track heart rate to track steps the Fitbit charge line is sort of go to I mean it's sort of top of mind to recommend I would recommend the Charge 6 or the 4 the 5 was a transition device a lot of new things added which really got refined in the Charge 6 not a lot of new things in the Charge 6 but since it's already there you might as well get it to avail of all of those nice little add-ons that they were able to incorporate to streamline from the 5 which really added a lot of new things if you just want to go super basic and you want to save a bit of money then the Charge 4 to keep testing accurate I did the same route for months on end with all of these fitness trackers I wore them every day for sleep walking around the house walking around the mall and things like that so I got a really good sense of all of them for their strengths and weaknesses the most annoying really was the Charge 5 I mean it was nice to have at the time but it just died on me for no particular reason that I could tell the battery just got wonkier and wonkier until finally it wouldn't turn on and yes I tried to restart it believe me I tried it just wouldn't work so far though I've had this for about a month the Charge 6 is going pretty strong and it is quite strong I'm using the Charge 6 with a third party strap the kind of metal strap with a magnet clasp to it and the problem with this third party strap is that it would just detach itself by itself so I would be sort of unslinging my backpack and whenever I would flip my wrist it would detach by itself and the Charge 6 the actual unit would fall to the ground and there are no this happened multiple times and yet this thing is still ticking along just fine with no scratches so if it's a direct drop like flat face palm onto a hard surface no problem I've done it multiple times with this thing and so far so good now it could have been user error because when I flipped the strap around like I attached it to different ends it suddenly didn't have that unclasping by itself problem anymore but the problem is it's very awkward now to take off it's like the magnetic clasp is in the wrong place all of that is as na side though it's a third party strap not from Fitbit so I'm not sort of including it in the how I felt about the Charge 4 Charge 5 or Charge 6 I would recommend though if you are going to use a fitness tracker I do prefer these kind of metal straps over the rubber things that usually come with a fitness tracker I think they just look a bit more subdued so they blend in more to your outfit if you're going to be using it every day plus the feel on my skin I don't know rubber just feels icky over time the metal feels natural it doesn't feel too cloying or damp the Philippines tropical climate things get damp quite quickly the metal seems to allow my skin to breathe more so whatever your fitness tracker if you're going to be wearing it for extended periods I do kind of recommend this metal strap mesh thing as frequent viewers of the channel know airflow is king that allows you to do that over the default rubber straps that come with a lot of the fitness trackers but that's it between the four the five and the six I would recommend the four or the six so if you're one of the normal PC guys who watches the channel please do try to get out more alaga natin yung
