If you've been making the most of the sunny weather by getting out and exercising, then you'll no doubt have considered buying one of the best fitness trackers around. But with so many different brands and models to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which is best for you.

Well, maybe the decision became a whole lot easier because the Fitbit Charge 6 is now on sale at Amazon for just £79 (was £139.99). That's a spicy 44% discount for those interested in the numbers.

For the price, it has excellent exercise tracking, sleep tracking, ECG functionality, and irregular rhythm notifications, all of which add up to an impressive feature-rich smartwatch.

Save over £60 on a fitness tracker boasting over 40 exercise modes, Google Wallet compatibility, and Google Maps. Heck, it's even got built-in GPS, which is far from guaranteed at this price point. The deals end on July 24 or until promotional stocks last.

If you've had a look at our Fitbit Charge 6 review, then you'll notice that we only awarded it 3.5 out of five stars. That might put you off, but it's worth stating that the rating was given when we compared it to full-on fitness watches.

If you're only looking for a watch for occasional health tracking and some exercise tracking, then the Charge 6 is well worth a look, especially at this price.

Our reviewer actually concluded by calling it a “solid companion for all kinds of activities", and with a widespread array of features, including an ECG heart health reader and full GPS, there's a lot to commend it.

And let's not forget that it's a Fitbit, which means you get all the benefits of the Fitbit ecosystem with a six-month free trial to Fitbit Premium bundled in.

Still exploring your options? If you're a runner, then one of the latest Garmin deals is worth a look. Alternatively, if you want a better all-rounder with broader smartwatch integration, such as receiving and responding to texts, then have a look at the best smartwatch deals available right now.
