Fitbit Charge 3
The Fitbit Charge 3 was previously our top selection for the finest Fitbit, but the Fitbit Charge 4, which has GPS and a few other features, has surpassed it. But that doesn't negate the fact that the Charge 3 is still a terrific device, and it's now dirt cheap thanks to the Fitbit Charge 5. The Charge 3 includes a reasonably large grayscale touchscreen display that shows your heart rate, distance walked, and notifications from your smartphone, if connected. It's designed for folks who want to stay healthy and in shape but won't be running marathons. The Charge 3 can also track your laps in the pool and is waterproof.
Because the Charge 3 is available in three sizes, it should fit most wrists (Fitbit has a sizing chart on its site). Furthermore, the Charge 3's strap is detachable, and Fitbit, as well as a variety of third-party manufacturers, provide straps in a variety of colors, patterns, and materials. The Fitbit Charge 3 also boasts a week-long battery life and a SpO2 sensor to assess breathing abnormalities while sleeping. Although it still requires a smartphone to connect to GPS, it's still a terrific Fitbit for the money – at least while supplies last.
