The latter is thebest fitness trackeron the market and sells for $159.

Despite the massive price difference, either gadget is a great choice for tracking workouts, rest and recovery.

Ive already tested theApple Watch SE against the Charge 6with Apple Watch narrowly claiming victory.

Apple Watch 10

Can Apple’s fitness tracking precision dominance continue?

I also tracked the route using Strava on my iPhone 12 mini.

Find the results below.

Fitbit Charge 6

That’s an impressive result.

For what it’s worth, Strava’s count was 5,100 steps.

Annoyingly, the Fitbit Charge 6 doesn’t record elevation data, a fact that slipped my mind.

Pace data for my walk is all over the place.

Strava automatically pauses pace data when you physically stop moving, even briefly.

I walked quite briskly for this test and the Fitbit’s average pace data strikes me as particularly sluggish.

A 22-minute mile suggests more of a saunter than an aggressive stride.

Heart rate and calorie data between the two wearables match up more nicely.

Even if the Fitbit noted a slightly higher max heart rate, the averages are comfortingly similar.

This is the closest walk test result we’ve ever had!

They’re also both fantastic motivational tools for getting out and moving more.
