Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has delivered discounts on wearables like the latest Apple Watch SE 3 and Fitbit’s Charge 6. But they’re not exactly cheap even though they’re on sale. If you want something under $100, the Fitbit Inspire 3 has returned to its all-time low price of $69.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. Fitbit Inspire 3 Where to Buy: $99.95 $69.95 at Amazon $99.95 $69.95 at Walmart $99.95 $69.95 at Best Buy The wearable nails the essentials, accurately tracking basic health and fitness metrics. It’s a fine choice if you only want to track steps, though it can go deeper, offering features such as irregular heart rate alerts, sleep insights, and tools for managing stress. The tracker itself is lightweight and comfortable enough to wear while you sleep (The Verge’s Victoria Song sometimes forgot she was even wearing it). Details are easy to read on its bright OLED display, and the tracker can last up to ten days on a single charge. If you don’t want to wear it on your wrist, you can remove it from the band and use it with a clip attachment instead. Unsurprisingly, this budget-friendly Fitbit lacks features found in pricier models. You’ll need to pay more to get advanced health tools like blood oxygen tracking and EKGs. There’s also no contactless payments, built-in GPS, or smart features like support for Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (most of which the Fitbit Charge 6 offers). Instead, the tracker just sticks to simple notifications, alarms, and timers, which keeps things easy to use and avoids unnecessary distractions. Read our hands-on impressions of the Fitbit Inspire 3.
