Charge 6 or Air?
Been eyeing the Charge 6 or Air as a replacement for Watch SE 2 which has pathetic battery life and a ton of bloatware like email, imessage and what not that can't be deleted.
My required use case: physical activity like running, walking, cycling, weight training; sleep tracking if the tracker is comfortable to wear overnight; silent vibrating alarm
Really like the Charge 6 sleek design with the color screen, but I'm afraid its hardware is pretty old now and not as relevant in 2026. Am I wrong to think that?
The Air seems really appealing as it is so subtle and comfortable. But I'm not sure how I will feel wearing a screen-less fitness tracker as it should not increase my phone screen time, which will be frustrating.
Both are budget friendly and offer pretty good battery life - a key point for me as I don't want to keep charging the device everyday.
Which would you recommend and why? Would appreciate some specific advice!
PS - not interested in the Pixel watches; only looking at a fitness tracker.
Thank you
