Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey, or are looking to fine-tune your performance, having some hard data about your progress is a serious help. And with a fitness tracker, you can get detailed breakdowns of important metrics including your heart rate, calories burned, speed, distance and much more. Fitbit makes some of our favorite trackers and fitness-focused smartwatches on the market, and right now you can snag several of the latest and last-gen models at a discount. 

Fitbit smartwatches and fitness trackers can do more than just track your steps and workouts too. Fitbit devices can also track your sleep patterns, stress levels and heart health. If you’re interested in monitoring your fitness journey through 2023 and beyond, a Fitbit is a stylish, comfortable and effective tool that could help you get in shape.

You’ll usually find the most impressive sales during the holiday season, but you can find really good offers on Fitbit devices all year long if you take advantage of special markdowns. It’s also worth noting that Google’s Pixel Watch includes many of Fitbit’s best activity tracking features, and is currently on sale for $50 off. Many of the products listed in this article are previous-generation Fitbit devices, but they still pack plenty of functionality and value — especially at these lower prices. 

If you’re already sold on getting a Fitbit but aren’t sure which one is right for you, we’ve got you covered with all the information you need. Read our deep dive on our favorite Fitbit models on the market right now.

With tools to monitor heart health, stress management and even skin temperature, this is a bit like having a medical assistant around your wrist at all times. This is the second generation of Fitbit’s health-focused smartwatch, and the updated interface return of the physical navigation button make this wearable particularly appealing — especially at this price. Besides keeping a close eye on atrial fibrillation (heart rate irregularities), this Fitbit includes a cEDA sensor that detects electrodermal activity, which often correlates to your body’s response to stress. You can also see your nightly blood oxygen levels at a glance. 

It still has all the great features the first-gen Sense offered, like built-in GPS for hikes, biking and driving. The watch also has Amazon Alexa built-in for news updates, bedtime reminders and alarms, and it can control smart home devices, too. The smartwatch comes with a variety of clock face options. One battery charge lasts six full days, and a full day’s charge takes only 12 minutes.

Like many of the other models on this list, the original Fitbit Sense is not the most recent model in its series. But the Sense is Fitbit’s most advanced lineup of fitness trackers, and this previous-gen model still has a ton to offer, especially for $77 off from the original list price, and over $120 less than the Sense 2 lists for. It’s designed to monitor tons of health metrics, including your heart rate, stress level, sleep patterns and blood-oxygen levels. It even has a built-in ECG function. Plus, it has plenty of convenient smartwatch features, including a GPS, built-in microphone for voice calls and an impressive six-day battery life. This deal also comes with a free six-month Fitbit Premium membership, a $60 value.

The Fitbit Versa 3 is Fitbit’s previous-generation watch, but it still offers quite a few useful features. In addition to heart rate and sleep cycle monitoring, the Versa 3 includes blood-oxygen tracking for more detailed health metrics. 

Named our favorite Apple Watch alternative for 2023, this fitness tracker doesn’t skimp on the smartwatch features, either. In addition to adding Google Assistant to its smart home compatibility, the new Versa 3 can also run hundreds of apps like Spotify and Uber.

Again, it’s not the most recent Fitbit fitness tracker in the series, but the Fitbit Charge 4 has plenty to offer, and you can get it at a pretty deep discount. The Fitbit Charge 4 was given the CNET Editors’ Choice Award in 2020 for its low price, stylish design and health features, including heart rate notifications and sleep tracking.

This smartwatch is half the size of other watches and its touchscreen makes it easier to go through the settings as needed. Even better is that it can track more than 20 different activities and can assist you in setting goals for your workouts and routines. If you’re not using GPS, the battery can last for up to seven days on a single charge, but if you are, you’ll need to charge it much more frequently.

And the Inspire 2 goes 10 days on a single charge. It’s not the newest Inspire fitness band, but at this low price it still has plenty to offer.

While it’s not the latest model, or even the second-latest, the Fitbit Versa 2 is still a popular fitness wearable that offers a whole lot of features at a decent price.
