Best Buy sale knocks up to $150 off fitness trackers — save on Garmin, Fitbit and more
Save on Garmin, Fitbit, and more
The unofficial start of summer is just a few weeks out. For many, that means ditching the gym for the great outdoors. Whether you're training for you first 5K or just looking to spend more time under the sun, Best Buy is slashing the price of numerous fitness trackers during its latest sale.
For a limited time, Best Buy is taking up to $150 off Garmin devices and up to $50 off Fitbit devices. This is one of the biggest sales we've seen on fitness devices from any retailer. It's worth noting that Memorial Day sales will begin soon and you may be able to save a few bucks more come May 29, but the chances of these items being significantly cheaper are slim. That said, below are the best deals you can buy right now.
It's worth noting that no Apple Watches are on sale right now at Best Buy. However, we expect the retailer to discount multiple models in the coming days as we approach Memorial Day. (Make sure to check out our guide to this month's Best Buy Memorial Day sales for the season's top deals).
Fitbit
Fitbit Luxe: was $149 now $89 @ Best Buy
There's no doubt about it, this is one of Fitbit's most stylish fitness trackers. It's got a lightweight, attractive design, a color touchscreen, and Fitbit's health management tools.

Fitbit Charge 5: was $149 now $118 @ Amazon
The Fitbit Charge 5 is a brilliant little tracker, with a bright color screen and a number of features usually reserved for Fitbit's more premium watches — including an electrodermal activity sensor (EDA) and an electrocardiogram sensor (ECG). We named it the best Fitbit you can buy out of the company's entire range of trackers. Best Buy has it for $129, but Amazon is undercutting them with a slightly lower $118 price.

Fitbit Sense 2: was $299 now $249 @ Best Buy

Garmin Vivoactive 4: was $349 now $199 @ Amazon
With built-in GPS, on-demand health metrics, and offline Spotify playback, the Vivocactive 4 is a total score. This well-rounded, fitness-focused smartwatch improves upon the Vivoactive 3 with more bells and whistles for tracking health stats and workouts. In our Garmin Vivoactive 4 review, we called it an near-perfect workout companion.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro: was $449 now $315 @ Amazon
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro packs an 80-hour battery life, ultra-durable design, and more outdoor sports-specific features than the Galaxy Watch 5.
