It's CES 2020 week, which means the next generation of fitness trackers is right around the corner. As such, now is the time to get the current models at a discount.

For example, right now you can get the Fitbit Charge 3 on Amazon for $99.95. Normally $149.95, that's a $50 discount and the lowest price ever for a fitness tracker. This is one of the best Fitbit deals we've seen since the holidays.

The Fitbit Charge 3 features excellent health and fitness monitoring, making it one of the best fitness trackers around.

Fitbit Charge 3 reviewers were impressed with its 7-day battery life, touchscreen display, and swim-friendly design; even though it does not have GPS, it is the best all-around fitness tracker. We gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating for overall functionality and excellent sleep tracking/analysis features.

The Charge 3 looks almost identical to the FItbit Charge 2. The biggest change is the touchscreen display, which is 30% larger than its predecessor; the Charge 3 can withstand submersion, so swimmers can use the device to record laps. In addition, the Charge 3 can be synced to the dedicated Fitbit app to view elapsed time, calories burned, and full workout data.

When it comes to battery life, the Charge 3 delivers on its promise. In real-world testing, the band was still running at 68% after three days and three workouts. And this was with notifications and weather checks enabled, and with the brightness set to automatic (rather than dim or normal, which saves battery life).

In short, if you want a reliable, waterproof fitness band to wear to the gym or while swimming, the Fitbit Charge 3 is a smart buy; Amazon also sells the Fitbit Versa 2 for $149.95 ($50 less), making it a great Apple Watch 5 alternative It's a great alternative to the Apple Watch 5.
