The Fitbit Air and Fitbit Charge 6 are two of the best fitness trackers in 2026. But is one better than the other? That truly depends on your budget, the number of smart features, and the type of user experience you desire.To help you better understand the differences between 2023's Fitbit Charge 6 and 2026's Fitbit Air, I've compared the two across five categories, including cost, design, health and fitness tracking features, smart features, and battery life.

The Fitbit Air is my favorite distraction-free fitness tracker in 2026, with no screen, buttons or notifications to slow you down. Battery life is good for up to a week, and health and fitness tracking performance proved reliable in testing. However, it lacks onboard GPS, so you'll need to carry a smartphone for location data when working out outdoors.
