Amazon Prime Day is a great time to upgrade or invest in tech essentials, including the best fitness trackers. Unlike their bulkier smartwatch cousins, fitness trackers tend to be lighter in weight and more comfortable to wear with fewer distracting features to get in the way of monitoring fitness goals.
I’ve tested dozens of fitness trackers and these five discounted models are the ones I recommend most this Prime Day, including the Amazfit Band 7 for just $39.

The Amazfit Band 7 is a straightforward wearable with all the basic fitness-tracking features you’d expect. Accuracy and battery life both impress, especially for under $40. Weighing just one ounce, it also won’t slow you down.
Amazfit Bip 5: was $89 now $67 @ Amazon
The Amazfit Bip 5 is a bit more advanced than the Band 7, sporting a larger screen that gives the device an almost-Apple Watch-like aesthetic. Simple to operate with reliable tracking, this sleek wearable was already a great bargain at $89, as noted in our Amazfit Bip 5 review. It also boasts voice support for Amazon Alexa, a feature rarely offered in fitness trackers under $100.

Fitbit’s newest kid’s activity tracker is $59 off for Prime Day. This comfy-wearing device is perfectly sized for smaller wrists and lets parents keep tabs on their child’s location and basic health metrics. Best of all, you and your child can message back and forth with it, for added peace of mind. These features require a $10/month subscription, though.
