Personal trainer and senior strategy editor Katie Simpson says a fitness tracker is one of the best ways to help you stay on top of your goals. “For beginners starting some form of consistent exercise, the Fitbit Charge 6 is my top option, both in terms of value for the price and functionality,” she says. “Its straightforward design is easy to use without compromising on accuracy, and it’s reasonably priced, letting you see if a tracker is right for you without making a large investment.” Better yet: This Fitbit Charge 6 deal lets you try the watch for 31% off—just $10 shy of the best price we’ve seen for the editor-approved design.
The most recent release from Fitbit, the Charge 6 offers all of the features you’d expect from a fitness tracker. The watch has a sleek aesthetic and a straightforward interface that’s easy to use, while still offering an impressive number of insights, including sleep and activity tracking, step and distance counting and health monitoring. A weekly report also makes it easy to understand the data it collects—something more complex trackers don’t always take into consideration for beginners.
Its updated heart rate monitor especially stood out to Simpson, who says she was impressed by its ability to keep up during high-intensity workouts, when many other trackers typically lag. “I went from 160 beats per minute during the middle of a set to around 120 BPM during rest—all within a 30-second to one-minute window,” she says. “And the Charge 6’s tracking was right in line with my control device through it all.”
Fitbit Charge 6 Deal: Save 31% During October Prime Day

If you’re willing to wait, you may be able score that extra discount this coming November.
