With tools to monitor heart health, stress management and even skin temperature, this is a bit like having a medical assistant around your wrist at all times. This is the second generation of Fitbit’s health-focused smartwatch, and the updated interface return of the physical navigation button make this wearable particularly appealing — especially at this price. Besides keeping a close eye on atrial fibrillation (heart rate irregularities), this Fitbit includes a cEDA sensor that detects electrodermal activity, which often correlates to your body’s response to stress. You can also see your nightly blood oxygen levels at a glance.
It still has all the great features the first-gen Sense offered, like built-in GPS for hikes, biking and driving. The watch also has Amazon Alexa built-in for news updates, bedtime reminders and alarms, and it can control smart home devices, too. The smartwatch comes with a variety of clock face options. One battery charge lasts six full days, and a full day’s charge takes only 12 minutes.
Right now the best price you’ll find on this model is $229 at Amazon.

It’s designed to monitor tons of health metrics, including your heart rate, stress level, sleep patterns and blood-oxygen levels. It even has a built-in ECG function. Plus, it has plenty of convenient smartwatch features, including a GPS, built-in microphone for voice calls and an impressive six-day battery life. This deal also comes with a free six-month Fitbit Premium membership for new subscribers, a $60 value.

Fitness trackers are generally not the nicest-looking devices on the market, but the Fitbit Luxe does a pretty good job of breaking that mold. The overall design of it is slimmer, with rounded edges, nicely colored bezels and unique bands that can be paired with it to make the fitness tracker look like a piece of jewelry. It comes in three different colors, with all variants on sale now at Best Buy.
When it comes to fitness tracking, the Luxe is no slouch. It offers sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring and stress management. It gives you up to five days of battery life per charge. While there is no discount currently available, it’s still a reasonably-priced option worth considering.
