Fitbit’s Charge 6 is such a great little minimalist fitness tracker, you barely need to do anything to get started—just strap it on and let it work. But there are a few things you can do to customize the experience and get everything working even better for you. Here are some tips and tricks for those who are new to the device.
New Fitbits come with a six-month premium membership, so set a reminder now for May to check in with yourself about whether you’d like to cancel or continue your premium membership.
Set up your charging station and routine
Charge the device while you’re in the shower (so keep the charging cable in the bathroom; get a USB adapter that plugs into the wall).
Charge the device while you’re sitting at your computer, if you have a job or hobby that has you at the keyboard for hours. (In that case, the cable can live on your desk. Get an adapter if you only have USB-C ports.)
Pick out a cool watch face

If you want to customize your Fitbit’s appearance even further, the band is replaceable. You can get a multi-pack of bands in colors to match your outfit or mood, a fabric band if you don’t love the silicone, or various snazzy, stylish bands.

When you exercise, you may feel a near-constant buzzing from your Fitbit, telling you that you’ve entered or left a given heart rate zone. There must be somebody on this earth who enjoys that feature, but it sure isn’t me, and it probably isn’t you. Select an activity (such as Run), and swipe up for settings. Turn off “Heart Zone Notifications.” You can also swipe up from the main clock face and tap Settings to turn off “AZM Notifications.”
Set up the Google features (Music, Wallet, and Maps)
To control music from your Charge 6, you need to be a YouTube Music subscriber (or be interested in trying out the free trial it will offer). One nice feature is that you’ll get some automatic playlists that adapt to your taste, so you can pick a workout mix and hit the ground running.
In the Fitbit app, go to the Charge 6 icon and tap the appropriate tile to set up Music, Wallet, or Maps.
And a tip on troubleshooting: The connection process doesn’t always go smoothly. For example, I kept getting a message saying that YouTube Music couldn’t find my phone. If you’ve tried everything and still can’t get the Charge 6 to connect the Music app (or some other app) to your phone, try these instructions, which worked for me when nothing else did. You’ll have your phone “forget” the Charge 6’s Bluetooth settings, force quit the Fitbit app, restart your phone, hard-restart your Fitbit using that strange little button on the charging cable, and finally “replace” your device in the Fitbit app. This didn’t lose any data for me, and when it was over, I finally got the Music app to play me some Chappell Roan.
