Background

The Fitbit Charge 6 is a high-end fitness tracker sold by Google Fitbit. Compared to its predecessor, the Charge 5, this version features mostly the same size and form factor while integrating some of Google's "essentials" services, e.g., Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music controls. The Charge 6 also includes many of the standard fitness tracker features like a heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, and workout logging. Notably, however, the Charge 6 doesn't have an altimeter so it can't record how many steps you've climbed.

The Fitbit Charge 6 has replaceable bands, but the watch itself comes in three colors: Black Aluminum, Silver Aluminum, and Champagne Gold Aluminum at starts at $160 USD.

Identification

The Fitbit Charge 6 looks very similar to the Charge 5, with a smooth rectangular form factor for the chassis, except for the power "button" along the left edge of the watch (it's technically a haptic touchpad).

The model number is GA05183, but there isn't a physical marking on the outside of the watch. If your watch is still connected to a device you own, you can check its settings for the model name and number.
