Prime Day deals are finally live, and you can score some sweet discounts on the Fitbit Sense 2, the streamlined Versa 4, and the no-fuss Inspire 4. The new Fitbit Air just launched, so don’t expect any price drops on that one quite yet.
Even with Google running the show now, Fitbit isn’t going anywhere. They might not pump out a dozen new gadgets a year like the old days, but the fan base is still huge. Whether you want to log your steps, track your sleep, or just crush your friends in a weekly step challenge, it is still a great way to stay moving and motivated.
Sure, you can find cheaper fitness trackers out there. But what separates heavy hitters like Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung, and Apple from the budget brands is the whole package. You are paying for excellent hardware paired with polished apps that actually work well.

This is the one to pick if you want every single feature Fitbit has to offer. It looks a lot like the Versa 4 but feels a bit more premium. If you are worried about missing out on features by choosing the Sense over the Versa, you can relax. You get everything the Versa has, plus some great extras.
The biggest addition is the ECG app. Fitbit followed Apple’s lead here, giving you a watch that can take an electrocardiogram when you hold your fingers against the corners of the case. Right now, the Charge 6 is the only other Fitbit that can do this.
You also get much better stress tracking. The Sense uses a continuous electrodermal activity sensor alongside your resting heart rate, HRV, and skin temperature to monitor your stress levels 24/7.
That round the clock tracking is actually the main upgrade over the original Sense. The first generation only takes those stress readings when you manually start a session, while the Sense 2 does it automatically all day long.
On top of that, you get built-in GPS, blood oxygen tracking, and all the usual health sensors. Plus, there is plenty of smart tech on board like Google Assistant, Alexa, and support for your favorite music streaming apps.
At the time of writing – starting at $199.99 (down from $249.95). Check current price on Amazon*
Fitbit Versa 4
The Versa is Fitbit’s main smartwatch alongside the Sense 2. It gives you most of the same sensors as its more expensive sibling, just without the hefty price tag.
When it comes to working out, it has everything you would expect from a Fitbit. You get real-time stats for tons of different activities, including swimming, and there is built-in GPS so you can leave your phone at home.
Like I mentioned earlier, you do lose out on a couple of health features. There is no EDA sensor for deep stress tracking and no ECG monitor. If you want those, you will need to spring for the Sense.
But if you do not need all those extra bells and whistles, the Versa 4 is a fantastic choice. It is also worth looking at the Versa 3. It has almost the exact same features as the newer model, and since it is an older version, you can usually find much better discounts on it.
At the time of writing – starting at $134.95 (down from $199.95). Check current price on Amazon*
Fitbit Inspire 3
The Inspire 3 is a sleek, budget-friendly tracker built for everyday health tracking. It comes with a bright, full-color OLED screen and is water-resistant, so you can wear it in the pool without any worries. Plus, the 10-day battery life is excellent and easily outlasts most other fitness bands in its category.
It is perfect for simple, 24/7 tracking, logging your steps, calories, and heart rate while serving up insights into your sleep quality. To help you wind down, it includes basic stress monitoring and guided breathing sessions, making it easy to add a little mindfulness to your day. You do not get heavy-hitting features like ECG or EDA sensors here, but it still packs blood oxygen tracking and Active Zone Minutes to help you maximize your workouts.
There is no built-in GPS, but you can easily tether it to your smartphone to map your outdoor runs or walks. The Fitbit app brings all this data together smoothly, making it simple to keep tabs on your progress right from your wrist or your phone.
You also get a few basic smart features like call, text, and app notifications, though this device is definitely focused on fitness tracking rather than trying to act like a full-blown smartwatch.
At the time of writing – $79.95 (down from $99.95). Check current price on Amazon*
