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.

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.

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.

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.
