The Inspire HR is an even more affordable slim band-type tracker that also gets notifications and does more than you probably realize. This is the best price, though it’s only for the black model.

We recently awarded the Fitbit Versa 2 an Editors’ Choice award, citing its reasonable price, long-lasting battery and compatibility across Android and iOS. We called it “one of the best examples of a hybrid fitness tracker and smartwatch you can buy.” Normally $200, it’s on sale for a limited time for $150, or $50 off, at various retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Fitbit’s own site. It’s a very good deal, if we don’t say so ourselves.
