The Fitbit Versa 3 is our best Fitbit overall, but good deals on it have been very hard to come by this Black Friday (not even Amazon has a discount that's worth fighting over!). Luckily, Walmart's Black Friday sale has pulled through.

You can currently get a new Fitbit Versa 3 for $129 (was $169.99) at the retail giant. This deal applies to the Midnight/ Soft Gold Aluminum edition, but you can splurge an extra $6 on the Black finish if you'd prefer something more subtle.

The Versa 3 is a major upgrade from the previous Versa 2, mainly because of its built-in GPS, so you can leave your phone behind but still track the pace and distance of your walks, runs, bike rides or hikes. Battery life has also been upgraded, with the Versa 3 now packing an impressive 6-day lifespan.

On the smartwatch front, it works just the same as its predecessor, packing a solid foundation of tools such as support for music streaming services including Spotify and Deezer. But it wins on health and fitness monitoring: this model adds an SpO2 sensor, which helps blood oxygen saturation.

So, the Versa 3 is definitely more fitness tracker than smartwatch, which shouldn't be a big issue if what you're after is a wearable that's all about helping you stay active.
