The Charge 6 is almost the only fitness tracker with an ECG. The band can also be used to make contactless payments with Google Pay. Unfortunately, Google has severely limited various other functions. The sleep analysis, on the other hand, remains excellent and the heart rate measurement is also accurate. There are complaints about the poor data protection.

The Charge 6 gets music control and Google Maps back. A payment function is also on board. Apart from this, however, it is not very smart. Instead, it scores with good health functions such as precise heart rate measurement. It even has a built-in ECG - unique. The casing is susceptible to scratches.
