When you hear the term “fitness tracker” there’s a good chance Fitbit comes immediately to mind. 

In the same way that Kindle has become shorthand for “e-reader,” Fitbit has become popular enough to become synonymous with an entire product category. 

They rarely go on sale, but right now you can get $40 off Fitbit’s Flex 2, $30 off the Alta, $20 off the Charge HR 2, and $50 of the Blaze.

If you want more information on which one will work best for you, take a look at our breakdown below.

If you want more granular information about your workout, you can find it through Fitbit’s app.

Although it’s their slimmest option, you can remove the fitness tracker from the Flex 2 and fit it into a band, bangle, or pendant. Although it’s basic, this is a good option for people who want an inexpensive way to track their steps and sleep without spending a lot of money.
