4 great wearable deals so you're prepped for a fitness-filled 2019

Whether you're a fitness expert or you want to take your first ever jog since because of how much you've eaten over the Christmas period, you may be setting yourself fitness goals for 2019.

While not essential, fitness trackers and smartwatches are some of the best tools to allow you to set, track and review your stats to improve your health, get stronger and reach your goals.

Whatever device you choose will come down to what goals you have for your fitness, so we've put together a couple of different categories you may fall into. Below is a selection of products discounted in the post-Boxing Day sales that may take your fancy, but check out our buying guides below for a full look at the best fitness tech.

For those after a fitness watch with a touch more

Fitbit Versa£199.99now £159.99 at Amazon

Fitbit Versa £199.99 now £159.99 at Amazon
As you can guess from the Fitbit name, the Versa is a fitness focused smartwatch. It isn't as versatile as a Wear OS or Apple Watch, but with music playback (via bluetooth headphones), fitness apps, notifications you'd be hard pressed to go wrong. It's also 30% off the RRP, and while that's not the best priced we've ever seen it's still good.

Garmin Fenix 5S Plus £599.99 now £474.99 at John Lewis
This watch is remarkably similar to the one just above, and that 'S' in the name refers to the smaller design. If you've got a thin wrist you may appreciate this slightly thinner and lighter look in the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus range.
