What reviewers reported

  • The creator tested GPS accuracy on a 12-mile bike ride and found the tracked route matched the actual path closely, with deviations only where he stopped to take photos, and one sharp turn that was cut slightly short.

    Creator experience · performance

    Measured · battery

  • Music controls on the device only work with YouTube Music, not Spotify or other music apps.

    Creator experience · software

    Creator experience · battery

  • The Charge 6 brings back a physical button on the left side, replacing the touch-sensitive button used on the Charge 5.
