The Pixel Watch 3 is featured on our list of the best fitness trackers as the best overall value device. This takes into consideration many factors, but among those that made the final cut, this was the least expensive. Now, it’s even cheaper, thanks to $80 off on Amazon. With an easy-to-navigate touchscreen, smooth design, and a wide array of tracking metrics, this is a fantastic option at a new low price.

The Venu Sq 2 is another solid option from Garmin, which can help monitor energy levels, sleep, respiration, hydration, and much more. We’re mostly impressed with the battery life of the Venu—it can last up to 11 full days after one charge. With a variety of preloaded workouts, ranging from strength to cardio to yoga, you can utilize this device for nearly any strenuous activity.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 also appeared in our larger roundup as the best fitness tracker for Android. If you’re someone who prefers to keep everything on a singular operating system, this should definitely be your go-to for Android users. You can start your day with a customized energy score and monitor your heart health at the same time. Better yet, it’s even FDA-approved to detect sleep apnea, allowing you to implement meaningful lifestyle changes when necessary. While 17 percent off may not sound like a ton, we’d suggest taking advantage of the $40 off in this case.

You don’t have to get something super fancy to track your health insights, especially if you’re relatively new to the game. If you’re looking for an entry-level option under $200, the Apple Watch SE is a solid choice, especially if you already have an iPhone. You can receive key notifications directly on your phone for a range of health insights, including irregular heartbeats or an unusually high or low heart rate. It’s sleek, intelligently designed, and even swimproof up to 50m.
We’ll go in ascending order here—the Apple Watch Series 10 offers meaningful upgrades at a reasonable price, and it’s now $100 off. We dubbed this device the best Apple Watch for most people, thanks to a middle-of-the-pack price point, large display, increased durability, and top-tier health insights. The Series 10 is certainly a step up from the SE, and in this case, you definitely get what you pay for—especially with $100 off.

Last but not least (well, when it comes to Apple fitness trackers), we have the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which is the best of the bunch and now $130 off. We awarded this watch the honor of being the best Apple Watch for Athletes and Adventurers, thanks to its rugged titanium case, customizable action button, and purpose-built design. Boasting high-end features like precision dual-frequency GPS and water resistance up to 100 meters, this is a powerful device that’s worth every penny, despite its higher-than-usual premium price point.
If you want to take it a step further, the Charge 6 is an even more impressive device from Fitbit. Featuring advanced analytics such as calorie counting, sleep tracking, and heart rate monitoring, the Charge is a great option for the more active individuals out there.

Fitbit is a true pioneer in fitness tracking, and one could make the legitimate claim that the brand changed the game forever. The Inspire 3 is one of Fitbit’s simpler models, yet it remains a highly effective under-$100 option. Automatic sleep tracking, a daily stress management score, and all-day activity tracking are among the impressive integrated features the Inspire 3 has to offer. This is another beginner-friendly tracker that can help you get started.
Casio has been making G-Shock watches for decades, and they continue to hold up as wallet-friendly fitness trackers. While you won’t get all the features of top-of-the-line trackers, the G-Shock DW6900-1V is still an excellent device for active people, thanks to its hourly time signal, timer, and stopwatch, which are all adept at tracking time during a workout or run. Although you may not gain as many insights with this option, it features a built-in alarm, a convenient backlight, and is waterproof up to 20 meters.
