Early Black Friday deals are in full swing, and we have good news for price-conscious shoppers. If you're on the hunt for an excellent, yet affordable smartwatch with step-counting and plenty of other fitness-tracking features, look no further for the ultimate score.
Right now the Fitbit Versa 2 is on sale for $99 at Amazon. The Versa 2 is normally $149, but today you'll score one of the most compelling Fitbit Black Friday deals we've ever seen — seriously, a name-brand smartwatch for under $100 is pretty much unheard of.
This midrange smartwatch impressed in our Fitbit Versa 2 review. It features a squircle display with a slightly rounded always-on AMOLED screen, which makes this watch look somewhat like an Apple Watch.
Even though the newer Fitbit Versa 3 and Fitbit Versa 4 both tack on neat upgrades, the Versa 2 remains an excellent value and one of the best cheap smartwatches you can buy.
Like a few of the best Fitbit models, the Versa 2 has Alexa built in, which is useful for finding out basic information like the weather or launching a workout with just your voice.
The Versa 2 also has accurate sleep-tracking analysis, music playback and solid battery life (about three days in our testing). Fitbit supports Spotify for subscribers with Spotify Premium accounts, but the Versa 2 doesn't let you store playlists for offline playback.
Fitbit's smartwatch doesn't have on-board GPS, which means you'll need to carry your smartphone with you for accurate location data from an outdoor run or bike ride. If that's a deal-breaker for you, there's also an excellent deal on the Fitbit Versa 4 available last we checked.
So the Versa 2 isn't quite as fully featured as some of the smartwatches that we've tested this year, but for just $99 in one of our favorite Amazon Black Friday deals yet, Fitbit's watch is a tough bargain to beat.
