A handful of top Fitbit fitness trackers is on sale today
Ars Technica

Today’s Dealmaster is headlined by a trio of deals on Fitbit fitness trackers. The discounts include the Fitbit Inspire HR for $69, about $30 off its usual going rate online; the new Fitbit Charge 4 for $130, which is a $20 discount; and the Fitbit Versa Lite smartwatch for $100, which is $25 off its typical street price. All three deals bring their respective devices within a dollar of the lowest prices we’ve seen.

The Fitbit Inspire HR is currently the top pick in our guide to the best fitness trackers. While it lacks some of the more advanced features of the other discounted trackers, we like it for providing a light and waterproof design, (relatively) accurate sleep and exercise tracking, a useful touchscreen, and a solid five-day battery life at an affordable price. If you don’t need to go super in-depth with your activity tracking, it’s still a worthwhile choice. That said, stepping up to the recently released Charge 4 does add useful features such as a built-in GPS (instead of relying on a connected phone, a la the Inspire HR), Spotify and contactless payment support, and an active minutes tracker. We haven’t reviewed the device on the site, but feedback around the Web has generally been positive, and we previously reviewed the Charge 3 favorably. The Versa Lite, meanwhile, is closer to the Inspire HR in functionality (with slightly less battery life), but it might work better if you prefer a bigger color touchscreen in a smartwatch form factor.

If you don’t need a new fitness tracker, though, we also have deals on a variety of Nintendo Switch accessories, AMD Ryzen desktop processors, Amazon Echo devices, Samsung SSDs, and more. Have a look for yourself below.
