Fitbit Charge 6 introduces fresh watch faces and broadens its compatibility with exercise equipment.
The popular fitness brand, Fitbit, has rolled out a new update for its Charge 6 device, focusing on improving connectivity with various exercise machines and offering users a better workout experience [1][2][3].
With this latest update, users can now connect their Fitbit Charge 6 to compatible exercise machines such as Peloton bikes, treadmills, rows, iFit (NordicTrack) equipment, Concept2, Tonal, and Strava. This connection allows the machine's display to show the user's real-time heart rate during workouts [1][2][4].
To pair your Charge 6 with an exercise machine, ensure your tracker has the latest Fitbit update, which was rolled out around July 2025. This update expands the compatibility of the Charge 6 with numerous exercise machines [1][2][3]. Pairing your Charge 6 to the machine can be done via Bluetooth or the machine’s fitness tracking system, following the machine's specific instructions.
The update also brings new watch faces to the Charge 6, designed to provide more comprehensive health data at a glance. The new watch faces include Axira, Geometric, and Momentum. The Momentum watch face displays the current time and a log of current health analytics, including heart rate, steps, distance traveled, calories burned, and Active Zone Minutes [5].
Fitbit's commitment to user feedback is evident in the design of these new watch faces, which were based on user preferences [6]. The update also includes a Bluetooth security upgrade and new status indicators for device state (DND or otherwise) and battery [7].
In addition to the Charge 6 update, Fitbit Labs had an update a couple of months ago that introduced Gemini-powered lab report summaries and a Symptom Checker feature. Under the "Medical Record Navigator" on Fitbit Labs, users can ask Gemini to help them understand complicated reports with ease [8]. The Symptom Checker allows users to describe their symptoms to the app and receive suggested actions to help them get on track again [9].
Fitbit's latest update is part of their ongoing efforts to improve the Charge 6 and provide users with a better workout experience [1]. The update is available for download on Fitbit's official website and should be compatible with all Charge 6 devices [10].
For detailed instructions on pairing your Charge 6 with exercise machines, check the user manual for your specific exercise machine or Fitbit’s support documents regarding fitness equipment connectivity. The key is for your Charge 6 and the machine both to support Bluetooth communication for fitness data syncing.
Fitbit is also offering ongoing fitness tracker deals at Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, and Dell [11]. For more information, visit Fitbit's official website.
