This year, there were fantastic discounts on the bigger smartwatches such as last year's Fitbit Versa 4, Fitbit Sense 2, or the brand new Fitbit Charge 6. You can also bag Inspire and Luxe models for cheap, well worth it if you're looking for a slender, cheap fitness band.

Fitbit Charge HR. Charge offers all the same features plus continuous heart-rate monitoring (no chest strap required), which is particularly important for athletes who want to get the most out of their exercise. It's available in four colors. Fitbit Flex. Flex differs from other Fitbits in that it's a little "pod-like" device that you snap in and out of a wristband, which makes it simple to change wristbands from one color or style to another. It's also water resistant, so you can wear it in the shower — a rarity for Fitbit.To avoid overloading you with information and putting you off Fitbits for good, this guide isn’t quite as exhaustive as it could be. Instead, here are some of the standout features you should consider before you buy a Fitbit: The Fitbit ECG app is only available in select countries.

How do you want to sync the Fitbit? The Classic can only be synced to PCs and Macs with a cable. The Ultra can also be synced wirelessly. The latter three Fitbit models can also be synced with Bluetooth and to select mobile devices. Design-wise, the Fitbit Charge 2 is much the same as other Fitbit devices, and feels a little like the lovechild of the Charge HR and the Fitbit Surge. By incorporating built-in GPS with additional sensors like the ability to perform electrocardiogram (ECG) tests and to measure electrodermal activity (EDA, or sweat to you and me), the Charge 5 records just about anything you might want recorded, filtering the information into Fitbit’s excellent companion app in a digestible manner. Reach your goals by seeing progress notifications and celebrate milestones with achievement badges.

That all changes with the Versa 3, the first Versa smartwatch to feature built-in GPS. That’s not where the upgrades stop, either. The Versa 3 also comes with an upgraded “multipath” heart-rate sensor, a screen that fills more of the front of the watch body, plus the ability to take phone calls. Though it’s not live in the UK yet, Google Assistant will also be coming to the Versa 3 in a later update. As we’ve mentioned, when it comes to Fitbits, the sheer amount of choice can be dizzying.

Replacement straps are pricey and the device is not ANT+ compatible. Price How often do you want to wear the device? If you want to wear the Fitbit 24 hours per day, the Flex is the best choice because it is water-resistant (can be splashed but not submerged in water) and worn on the wrist so it won't be intrusive during sleep. We wish the Fitbit Sense 2 had better third-party app support, but Google Maps, Google Pay, and other essentials like mirrored smartphone notifications, weather reports, timers and voice control via Alexa are available.The Health Metrics dashboard and the metrics displayed in the dashboard are not available in all countries.
