1. Author
    The author is for the Fitbit Charge 6 user manual was someone who works at the
   Fitbit company. Although their name was not given it was probably someone in there
   marketing team who is trained in writing technical writing like this to show
   customers how to use their products.
    Their relationship with the content is they work for the company that produces it.
    They may have also worked on the design of the product or worked on the
   marketing, so they are probably biased toward there product and all its good
   features rather than the bad ones since they either helped build it or are the ones
   trying to sell the good features of it.
2. Audience
    The intended audience is the people that have purchased or are looking to purchase
   this product. We know that they are probably health conscience.
    Their relationship is that they have the product and are using the guide to learn how
   it works.
    They need to know basically nothing as it’s the job of the user manual to tell them
   how it works.
3. Text
    The genre is technical writing
    We can see the author used very deliberate fonts and colors to emphasize the
   professionalism of the writing as well as using and displaying facts not fluƯ which
   leads to and ez to understand yet fact filled writing
    Published here I think Building 1, 68 Xinxia Road, PinghuTown, Longgang District,
   Shenzhen, Guangdong, 518111, China
    Doesn’t tell us much about the audience tbh
4. Purpose
    The purpose of the text is to teach people how to use this Fitbit product
    The author wants the customer to come away with a full understanding of how the
   product works and how he can use it to the maximum extent possible
    The purpose was to teach people, so the author used his technical writing skills to
   do this
5. Context
    It comes from the modern day where people where just starting to realize the
   powers of smartwatches
    The authors used all they could to make this writing as simple yet knowledgeable to
   bring across the material they had to
    They used English for this manual as the majority of the customers probably speak
   English
