For a broader breakdown of the top wearables on the market today, don\u2019t miss our in-depth buyer\u2019s guide to the best smartwatch<\/a> and the best budget smartwatch<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jump to:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Fitbit\u2019s devices are split into two main categories \u2013 smartwatches and trackers. The smartwatches have bigger squared-off touch displays that are slightly easier to navigate and read app notifications. They have Google and Alexa voice assistants and a larger clock face. Because of this, some models are more expensive.<\/p>\n In comparison, the Fitbit trackers have a slimline design, with the display not much bigger than the strap that makes up the band, and there are no physical buttons. We wouldn\u2019t describe all models as affordable, but it\u2019s accurate to say that some of the band trackers don\u2019t cost quite as much money compared to the smartwatches.<\/p>\n There are three Fitbit smartwatches on sale at the time of writing in January 2022, and they are split into two line-ups: the \u201cSense\u201d series and the \u201cVersa\u201d series.<\/p>\n The Sense is currently Fitbit\u2019s most premium product, with high-end sensors that earn it the title of \u201cmost advanced health smartwatch\u201d. There are two devices in the Fitbit Versa series, and these are simply known as the Versa 2 and Versa 3.<\/p>\n At first look, the Fitbit Versa 2 and Fitbit Versa 3 look pretty much identical. However, when you directly compare the two watches, there are substantial differences. While they appear similar, the Versa 3 model looks significantly more like the sleek, more expensive Fitbit Sense, due to its slightly more rounded corners.<\/p>\n The first key difference between the two models is their price. The newer Fitbit Versa 3, which was released in the UK last September, costs roughly \u00a350 more (RRP). The specification of the two Versa models is close on paper, offering 20 modes of exercise tracking, and around six days\u2019 battery life when fully charged.<\/p>\n But the Versa 3 comes with built-in GPS and an Active Zone Minutes mode that buzzes your wrist when you reach a target heart rate zone. The new model\u2019s display is also better than its predecessor, so the image of the screen will be slightly sharper.<\/p>\n On-board GPS is a fairly big upgrade though. It means the wearer can leave home without their phone and still track their route in real-time. There is another big reason \u2013 aside from cost \u2013 to choose the Versa 2 over the newer model, though: onboard music storage. The Versa 2 can store and play about 300 songs on the smartwatch, while the new model only has the ability to control Spotify from your wrist.<\/p>\n Fitbit trackers are split into four line-ups: Charge, Luxe, Inspire, and Ace. They range in price from \u00a369.99 to \u00a3170, but some models are often discounted in sales.<\/p>\n The Charge series is typically the best for an all-rounder, offering a solid battery and a minimalist aesthetic. The Luxe series is the direct opposite of that \u2013 intended to be a more fashionable jewellery-inspired tracker that\u2019s tinted in gold stainless steel.<\/p>\n The Inspire 2 has the best battery life (10 days compared to the Charge\u2019s 7), while the Ace series is made for children \u2013 coming with chunkier, colourful frames. Here is a full breakdown of the pricing differences you can expect with these ranges:<\/p>\n Choosing the right Fitbit for you is based on five key factors: looks, features, battery, the age of the person using it, and the amount of money you want to spend.<\/p>\n Start with the budget, as that will instantly narrow down your search. Then you need to consider what features are priorities. If it\u2019s the battery, the Inspire 2 has 10 days in the tank. If it\u2019s a big display and top specs, the Sense and Versa smartwatches are your focus. If it\u2019s a reliable running companion, you can\u2019t go wrong with the Charge 4 or 5, which are comfortable to wear for long periods and have sweat resistance.<\/p>\n Our experts have tested a lot of the Fitbit watches and trackers in recent months, so they have hands-on experience with how they perform in the real world. Here are our picks of the best Fitbits so hopefully you can find the right model for you.<\/p>\n Best all-rounder<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n The Charge 5 is Fitbit\u2019s latest band-style tracker, and it\u2019s easily our choice as the top all-rounder. It\u2019s comfortable to wear for long periods of time, has a full week\u2019s battery life, the screen is bright and responsive, and it comes with onboard GPS.<\/p>\n As we wrote in our Fitbit Charge 5 review<\/a>: \u201cThere are a lot of features bundled into this thin and lightweight little band, and they are surprisingly powerful.\u201d We gave it four out of five stars, but for anyone who can\u2019t stretch to the more expensive model, we stressed that the Fitbit Charge 4<\/a> remains \u201ca very capable fitness tracker\u201d.<\/p>\n Buy the Fitbit Charge 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Best for top features and specs<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want Fitbit\u2019s most advanced offering, the Sense is your best option \u2013 boasting a wealth of health and fitness features in a more traditional smartwatch form factor. It has a stress monitor, ECG (electrocardiogram) app, voice control, built-in GPS, and a SpO2 (blood oxygen) tracker \u2013 but as a result, it also has the price to match.<\/p>\n Giving it 3.8\/5, we wrote in our Fitbit Sense review<\/a>: \u201c[The] Sense is positioned as a fitness-focused smartwatch with some seriously cutting-edge tech \u2013 if that\u2019s what you\u2019re after, it\u2019s very much worth the investment. Now, breathe\u2026 and relax.\u201d<\/p>\n Buy the Fitbit Sense:<\/strong><\/p>\n Best affordable Fitbit smartwatch<\/strong><\/p>\n While it lacks onboard GPS of the newer Versa 3 model, the Fitbit Versa 2 remains a great smartwatch-style wearable and is more affordable than its successor.<\/p>\n It has almost everything a fitness fan could want: all-day activity tracking (steps, calories burned, stationary time), sleep tracking, 20 exercise modes, menstrual health tracking, 24\/7 heart rate recording, and a sleek black aesthetic.<\/p>\n Unlike the newer Versa, it can store around 300 songs on the device itself, and that\u2019s a nice addition if you want to pop to the gym without your phone.<\/p>\n Buy the Fitbit Versa 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n Best for budget and battery life<\/strong><\/p>\nFitbit smartwatches vs Fitbit trackers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
