Two of the best fitness trackers have returned to their lowest prices ever in the Black Friday sales, with the Fitbit Charge 6 available for $99 and the Fitbit Inspire 3 going for $69. That’s a $30 saving on the Inspire and a whopping $60 discount on the Charge 6.
While Google seems to be slowly winding down the Fitbit brand, these two fitness trackers remain outstanding options — the Fitbit Charge 6 is our best overall fitness tracker pick, while the Fitbit Inspire 3 is the best budget option, and they remain so because Google has made no mention of discontinuing the more affordable Fitbit lines.
Both the Inspire 3 and Charge 6 do a great job of tracking your daily activity and sleep, but as you’d expect there are some upgrades to enjoy if you opt for the more expensive devices. The Charge 6 is bigger and has a larger AMOLED display, and it also has built-in GPS for more accurate tracking during outdoor activities like running and cycling.
The Charge 6 also offers more extensive health tracking features. It is able to take ECG measurements as well as tracking your electrodermal activity, which can be used to estimate stress levels. The Charge 6 also has more smart features including access to Google Maps, Google Wallet and YouTube Music.
One area where the Inspire 3 has the edge is battery life, lasting up to 10 days on a charge in our testing, whereas the Charge 6 will max out at seven because of the larger screen and GPS tracking. The Inspire 3 is also smaller, which makes it easier to wear with other jewelry, and of course cheaper.
