• Apple Watch SE 2: If you’re an Apple shopper and can spring for a slightly higher price point, Apple’s budget device is a very solid smartwatch with a deep well of fitness tracking features.

Fitbit Inspire 3: The best budget pick from Fitbit

Fitbit’s most affordable tracker, the Inspire 3 is an impressive entry-level device from a trusted brand. The latest model boasts a colorful always-on display and all-day SpO2 monitoring, bringing the Inspire lineup up to par with competitors at this price. For runners and cyclists, it also offers connected GPS and incredible battery life.

Beyond its comfortable build and useful tracking metrics, the biggest strength of the Inspire 3 is access to the Fitbit ecosystem. Users will find one of the market’s most robust sleep-tracking suites plus plenty of other helpful tools from the company. Each purchase also comes with six free months of Fitbit Premium so you can try out tools such as Daily Readiness Score.

Huami Amazfit Band 7: A solid, cheap competitor

Huami’s latest features an oversized 1.47-inch AMOLED touchscreen display which is considerably larger than the previous model. The company didn’t launch a Band 6, so this is the direct follow-up to the HUAWEI Band 5. It boasts a 232mAh battery and can last up to 18 days on a single charge.

For health tracking, the Amazfit Band 7 features an optical heart rate and blood oxygen sensor and will alert users if it detects an unusual heart rate, low blood oxygen levels, or stress.  On the fitness front, the band supports 120 sports modes. It also features more than 50 watch faces, plus support for voice commands via Amazon Alexa. It’s available in black and beige with straps in green, blue, pink, and orange. Most importantly, the Amazfit Band 7 costs less than $50.

HUAWEI Band 7: Keeping up with Xiaomi

Huawei’s latest model, the HUAWEI Band 7, is another solid option in the budget category. It sports a smartwatch aesthetic with a large 1.47-inch AMOLED display plus all-day SpO2 monitoring, sleep tracking, 96 workout modes, menstrual tracking, and more.

Compared to the HUAWEI Band 6, it improves users’ experience with music controls, message quick reply, and the ability to answer phone calls. It also offers support for NFC payments on the wrist.

Charge 5:The best Fitbit fitness tracker

Fitbit’s Charge 5 is a notch above, a fact that’s also reflected in its price. It features a bright OLED display on a slim comfortable device conducive to all-day wear. Users will find an EDA stress sensor, SpO2 sensor, and skin temperature tracking, plus, of course, built-in GPS.

But is it worth springing for this device? If budget isn’t a concern, we say absolutely. On the other hand, the Charge 5 asks users to spend $50 more than they would on a Charge 4 which keeps Fitbit’s last generation in the conversation. We loved the older model and would still recommend it to anyone looking to cut costs.

Apple Watch SE 2: The best pick for Apple users

If your budget can stretch, the Apple Watch SE 2 is pricier still, but it’s the cheapest Apple Watch available. In fact, it’s the model most people should buy. The company’s affordable offering, the SE 2 makes lots of small cuts, such as extra sensors, that won’t matter to most buyers anyway. It keeps, however, Apple’s accurate fitness tracking, noteworthy iPhone integration, and unmatched app support.

Of course, this device lands at a higher price point than the Xiaomi Band 7, but if you can afford it (and are an Apple user looking for an accurate fitness tracker as well as a powerful smartphone companion), it’s worth the cash.
