Fitbit devices are among today’s fitness tech deals during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. The Charge 6 is down to $119.95 (from $159.95) and the Versa 4 is $149.95 (down from $199.95), but I think the best deal of the bunch is the Inspire 3 at $69.95 (down from $99.95). If you want a simple, minimalist fitness tracker, this is a great way to grab one on the cheap. 

The Inspire 3 is, in many ways, a pared-down Charge 6. You can read my review of the Charge 6 here. It’s a basic fitness tracker that will count your steps and track heart rate during workouts, which may be all you want. 

To understand what you’re missing if you go for the Inspire 3: 

• The Inspire 3 doesn’t have its own GPS, and thus needs your phone to be with you if you want to track your distance and pace when you jog or walk. (The Charge 6 has its own GPS, but doesn’t always work as well as you’d hope—more on that in my review.)

• The Inspire 3 doesn’t have Google Wallet, Google Maps, or YouTube Music. The Charge 6 has all three, but all require your phone to be nearby and music requires a subscription. 

• The Inspire 3 has a smaller screen: 0.7x0.5 inches, instead of the Charge 6’s 0.86x0.58 inches.

• The Inspire 3 has 6 workout types, while the Charge 6 has 40+.

If you’re OK without those extra features, I’d recommend the Inspire 3 for a minimalist fitness tracker. It’s got a 10-day battery life and a slim, bracelet-like shape. And if you want something more full-featured, consider Garmin's Vivoactive 5, which is on sale for just $179.95 today.
