There are so many fitness trackers on the market that it can sometimes be hard to choose the right one. One of our favorites is the Fitbit Charge 6. And with tons of retailers starting Black Friday sales early, you can score one at its record-low price of just $100 with this Amazon deal. If you were on the hunt for a useful holiday gift for the health and fitness enthusiast in your life, this is the perfect idea. That's a limited-time deal so we can't promise that it will be available for long, but the same price is also available at other retailers like, Best Buy, Target and even directly at the Google Store, so you've got plenty of options.
Being able to see how many steps you're taking is one thing, but being able to go far beyond that and really dig into your workouts is a huge boon for a lot of people, and the Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the best devices for that kind of thing. Amazon is also throwing in a free six month premium membership to Fitbit.

According to CNET's Lexy Savvides and Lisa Eadicicco, the Charge 6 is the best Fitbit you can get right now. It has great health and fitness features including an electrocardiogram app and excellent sleep tracking. It can also connect to gym equipment so you can see your live heart rate data during a workout, while a blood oxygen sensor keeps tabs on your oxygenation. The Charge 6 has built-in GPS so it can track outdoor workouts accurately, and it's water-resistant up to 50 meters, meaning you can swim with it on or run in the rain with no issue. Fitbit's app will also tell you when to take a rest day.
The battery life is quoted as up to seven days, though it was closer to four or five in our testing, but you still won't be charging it up as often as you would an Apple Watch. It's worth noting, though, that many of Fitbit's most useful features, like the Daily Readiness Score, are only available as part of Fitbit's $10-a-month Premium service. Without a Premium sub, it's still a capable fitness tracker, but you won't get the most in-depth metrics or trends over time. This is one of the best Fitbit deals available right now, but it might not last for long.
