Wearing Your Charge 6
Wear your Charge 6 around your wrist. For all-day wear, position it a finger's width above your wrist bone. For optimized heart-rate tracking during exercise, you may need to adjust the placement higher on your wrist. Ensure the back of the device maintains skin contact for accurate readings. It's recommended to remove the tracker for about an hour daily to give your wrist a break.
To fasten the band, place the Charge 6 around your wrist, slide the bottom band through the first loop, and secure the peg through one of the holes. Ensure the band is snug but not constricting.
Handedness Setting
For accurate tracking, specify whether you wear your Charge 6 on your dominant or non-dominant hand in the Fitbit app. Navigate to the 'Today' tab, tap the devices icon, select 'Charge 6', and then choose 'Wrist' followed by 'Dominant'.
