Fitbit Charge 6 vs Fitbit Air

Think of the Charge 6 as the Fitbit Air’s older brother. The two are similarly slender and easy to wear, but the Charge 6 sports an AMOLED screen — albeit a small one — and a host of ‘smart’ features, including support for NFC payments, turn-by-turn directions via Google Maps, mirrored smartphone notifications, and music/media controls.Another advantage of the Fitbit Charge 6: It sports an onboard GPS antenna, which allows you to track outdoor workouts without needing to carry your paired smartphone. That said, in my testing, the Fitbit Air proved to be just as accurate as the new, pricier Garmin Forerunner 70 when you do carry your phone along.
