Track Steps, Monitor Sleep & Get a Handle on Stress With These 5 Fitbit Trackers

If you want an advanced fitness tracker without having to empty your bank account or sell a kidney, consider the awesome lineup of Fitbit devices available in 2023.

Fitbit’s lineup of trackers, health monitors and smartwatches offer almost all of the features of their more expensive competition at a fraction of the price. And because they were one of the first brands to corner the fitness tracker market, they’ve had years to hone their tech, meaning you can have confidence that the information they give you is reliable and accurate.

Over the years, though, Fitbit has evolved an absolutely massive lineup of devices, watches and trackers, all with their unique sets of strengths and weaknesses. To help you narrow the field and find the right Fitbit for you, we’ve picked out five of our favorite modern options and highlighted what they excel at.

Fitbit Charge 6

If you want all of the functionality fitness trackers can bring, without the added bells and whistles of smartwatches, check out the Charge 6. Its slim design makes it totally unobtrusive on the wrist – so much so that runners and swimmers will forget that it’s there – while not sacrificing on features. Case in point: this is one of the slimmest devices you can buy with built-in GPS tracking. Add to that heart rate monitoring with notifications, blood oxygen sensors, a vibrant, easily legible touchscreen display and superior battery life, and you’ve got an extremely capable fitness tracker that can go wherever your workout takes you. We especially appreciate the next-level integration with beloved apps like Google Wallet. Google Maps and YouTube Music.

Fitbit Sense 2

It looks like an Apple Watch, and it even performs a bit like an Apple Watch, but the Fitbit Sense 2 isn’t priced like an Apple Watch, which is why it’s so easy for us to recommend. We love the 24/7 heart rate monitoring, pinpoint-precise GPS, built-in cEDA sensor to help you track your stress levels throughout the day, as well as the extra-powerful battery, capable of running for almost an entire week off of single charge. Add to that convenience features like integration with Google maps and NFC payment systems and you have a capable smartwatch that’s easy to live with, even when you’re not working out.

Fitbit Ace 3

If you’re looking to get a child interested in physical fitness, the Fitbit Ace 3 is a great pickup. It’s less expensive and far less complex than its older, more full-featured siblings, but what it lacks in specifications it makes up for in ease of use and kid-friendly design. Take, for example, the animated clock face, which expands as the child’s daily energy expenditure does, or the fact that you can create a family account so that parents can track their child’s progress.

Fitbit ACE LTE

If you have older children and want to get them a Fitbit that has all of the necessary safety functionality (including built-in GPS and the ability to make calls and send messages without a phone number) of the adult models plus a gamified health and fitness ecosystem that rewards them for building healthy habits, the ACE LTE is the best option. Fitbit have even included a School Time mode, allowing you to restrict the watch's functionality during learning hours so their new wearable doesn't interfere with their classroom work.

Fitbit Versa 4

If you’re after the functionality and screen size of a smartwatch but don’t want to pay a premium for the privilege, check out the Fitbit Versa 4. It’s available in three vibrant colors (Waterfall Blue, Pink Sand and Black), offers a crisp, easy-to-read 1.69” display, and all of the features you’d want in a health tracker: sleep monitoring, calorie tracking, and even a stress management system. And unlike its more expensive competitors from Apple and Samsung, the Versa 4 offers incredible battery efficiency, lasting up to six days off a single charge.

Fitbit Inspire 3

Want a slender, stylish fitness tracker whose good looks don’t come at the cost of superior performance? The Fitbit Inspire 3, available in three vibrant colors, can take you from the gym to a night of dancing without anyone batting an eye, and while its sleep & fitness tracking are absolutely top-notch, we particularly love its stress management tools, to help you be more mindful of your mental health, delivering a daily Stress Management Score that you can use to compare your good and bad days.
