Save $84: CNET’s favorite fitness tracker, the Fitbit Charge 6, is on sale for Amazon Prime Day, but time is definitely running out. Normally $160, the fitness tracker is now 52% off, bringing it to a new low price of just $76. Plus, it comes with three months of a Google Health Premium membership, which is usually $10 per month, saving you an additional $30.
The catches? This new low price only applies to the coral color, and Prime Day ends today — so you need to place your order soon, before it’s too late.
As someone who tests fitness and health trackers for a living, I can say that the Fitbit Charge 6 offers all the features you’re looking for at a lower price than other trackers — especially with this current deal that brings it down to $76. Plus, it doesn’t just track your exercise.
Whether you’re working out or resting, the Charge 6 monitors your heart rate, steps, distance, calories burned, time spent in target heart zones, VO2 max (your maximum rate of oxygen consumption), sleep score, blood oxygen, skin temperature, stress management score and, yes, even more. It also supports over 40 types of exercise, including running, strength training, yoga and swimming up to 50 meters deep.
With the Fitbit Charge 6, you get access to notifications for calls, texts and smartphone apps, Google Wallet and Maps, menstrual health tracking, a smart wake alarm and blood glucose tracking in the Google Health app.
You can’t beat all the different features you get for this new low price of $76, plus three months of Google Health Premium free.
Alternatives you might consider
If you’re a Garmin fan or prefer a fitness tracker that looks more like your average watch, then the Garmin Epix Pro is also on sale for 50%, bringing the $1,000 price down to $500. Runners gravitate toward this smartwatch, as it offers a “hill score” for running uphill and an “endurance score” that measures your performance over a longer period.
If you prefer a more discreet smart ring, there’s also the Oura Ring 4, now at a new low price of $226, down 35% from its full price of $499. It can track your health and fitness just like the Charge 6 and Epix Pro, but in a more compact form right on your finger.
