The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the best fitness trackers we’ve tested, and down to an all-time low price of $93 ($66.95 off) at Walmart. The deal includes a six-month subscription to Fitbit Premium, a service that includes guided workouts, a wellness report, and other perks, and usually costs $10 per month or $80 per year. You can get the Charge 6 for $99.95 ($60 off), along with the same six-month subscription, at Amazon.

$93

The Fitbit Charge 6 features a haptic side button, an improved heart rate algorithm, turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps, and the ability to broadcast your heart rate on certain Bluetooth gym equipment. Read our review.

The Charge 6 is the only fitness tracker under $200 with an FDA-cleared EKG reader, and it’s better at measuring your heart rate than its predecessor. It can also track your blood oxygen level, sleep, and activity. Fitbit made strides to reach feature parity with fitness smartwatches by adding Bluetooth compatibility with exercise equipment and an NFC chip to the Charge 6, which allows you to use Google Wallet. It also has apps for Google Maps and YouTube Music, so you can use those services without reaching for your phone.

Verge reviewer Victoria Song’s chief complaint with the Charge 6 was that enabling its always-on display reduced its battery life from seven days to two. You’ll also need to have an active Google account because Fitbit has migrated away from its own account system. For an in-depth view of the Charge 6, you can read our review.

Three more deals we think you’ll like

If you want a more premium fitness watch, Garmin’s Fenix 7S Pro is $549.99 ($150 off its usual price of about $700) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. It’s the top choice for serious outdoor athletes in our guide to the best fitness trackers because of its multi-band GPS, in-depth recovery metrics, guided exercises, and a built-in flashlight. Its solar charging helps the smartwatch’s battery last up to 11 days, and its frame and screen are built to military-grade standards, so it won’t get damaged easily. Garmin doesn’t charge a subscription for any of its fitness or recovery features, either. The Fenix S7 Pro is a smartwatch for serious outdoor and fitness enthusiasts, and an even better choice at this price. Read our review.

It also comes with the same one-year limited warranty as a new model, which you can pick up for $199.99. Read our review.
