Fitbit deals – some good, some GREAT (USA)

Fitbit have refreshed some of the activity tracker parts of their range recently and have also introduced their first super- smartwatch…The Ionic. Deals Galore…

I’ll manually write in the BLACK FRIDAY price as sometimes the Amazon images don’t show the current price but it’s cool when you go.

Fitbit Alta HR – $99

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “the5krunner-20”;
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”;
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
amzn_assoc_design = “enhanced_links”;
amzn_assoc_asins = “B06W58QKH6”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “806ac5223cac7321d71a9241f06b942c”;

I’d prefer the $99 Charge 2

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “the5krunner-20”;
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”;
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
amzn_assoc_design = “enhanced_links”;
amzn_assoc_asins = “B01K9S24EM”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “1198dc9ff03387f48993dbbfe0a98fe2”;

Some all-time low prices on the Blaze at $149

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “the5krunner-20”;
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”;
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
amzn_assoc_design = “enhanced_links”;
amzn_assoc_asins = “B019VM3CPW”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “f3e5521396e5a2e2a85733bb58cc2035”;

I quite like the Ionic. But at $295 you might be lucky to get a lower price if you get the timing jsut right

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “the5krunner-20”;
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”;
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
amzn_assoc_design = “enhanced_links”;
amzn_assoc_asins = “B074VDF16R”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “7021b8dcc084c1f01970a732deae519e”;

At $72 The Charge 2 HR is almost in the category of stocking-filler. Almost 😉

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “the5krunner-20”;
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”;
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
amzn_assoc_design = “enhanced_links”;
amzn_assoc_asins = “B00N2BWKGG”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “12fe697b0e39a5ef1197f5530a025610”;

At $60 the Flex 2 may still see lower prices

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “the5krunner-20”;
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”;
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
amzn_assoc_design = “enhanced_links”;
amzn_assoc_asins = “B01KH2PUGY”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “2512963b4c9d30fca62ff9a966dac60c”;

The $139 Surge is a solid choice but again the price might go lower

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “the5krunner-20”;
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”;
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
amzn_assoc_design = “enhanced_links”;
amzn_assoc_asins = “B00N2BWHWS”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “87420f5479b07992a3784bcce20a481f”;
