Google’s Pixel Watch 3 is still down to a record low price, but honestly not everybody wants to — or even needs to — fork out $275 on a smartwatch. That’s especially true if all you really need is something to help you keeps tabs on basic health and fitness metrics basics. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is a better, more affordable alternative, one that’s currently down to its best price of $69.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google.
The comfortable tracker does a good job of delivering the essentials, helping you accurately keep tabs of basic health and fitness metrics while lasting up to 10 days on a single charge. It also comes with some extra conveniences found in pricier trackers, from a bright OLED screen to features like irregular heart rate notifications, advanced sleep tracking capabilities, and several stress management features.
Of course, there are some trade offs to make at this price. You don’t get a lot of the smarts you’d find in a smartwatch like the Pixel Watch 3, so don’t expect contactless payments, built-in GPS, or support for virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. But honestly, if all you really need is just a simple and straightforward fitness band, you probably won’t miss those features much anyway.
