Part accountability coach, part personal cheerleader, a Fitbit may be a smart investment for anyone looking to increase their daily activity or keep better watch over their health. But with so many available models—from basic activity trackers with heart-rate monitors to smartwatches with workout modes and on-screen notifications—it can be hard to find the right fit. That’s why we’ve created a streamlined list of best Fitbit models so you can find the right one for you, your partner or your child.

Smartwatches track fitness stats, too, but most styles have more features, like bigger, brighter displays for reading texts and checking weather, Bluetooth for listening to music with earbuds and built-in mics for calls. They’re also often larger and pricier than activity trackers.
Generally smaller and more affordable than smartwatches, activity trackers record basic information like steps and heart rate, then relay the information to your smartphone. Because they do less than smartwatches, they also use less battery.
If you’re new to wearable technology, the Inspire 2 is an affordable, user-friendly way to get into the game. This slim, swim-proof fitness tracker is an updated version of the original Inspire HR and has a touchscreen with a faster response time, plus an Active Zone Minutes feature to tell you when you enter peak, cardio and fat burn heart-rate zones. It comes in three hues: desert rose, white and black.
The third-generation version of Fitbit’s best-selling Versa smartwatch, the Versa 3 will put a bigger dent in your wallet than the Versa 2 but also has notable upgrades like built-in GPS, a built-in speaker for taking calls and Active Zone Minutes to track peak, cardio and fat-burn zones. It’s available with a soft gold stainless steel face and pink clay band, all black (as pictured) or matte gold stainless steel with a midnight band.
Designed to be both a fitness tracker and a piece of jewellery, the streamlined Fitbit Luxe has a stylish colour display and is compatible with a range of bands (sold separately)—including those that look just like a bracelet. If you don’t need smartwatch features and want a swim-proof tracker that goes with any outfit, the Luxe is your best bet. Choose from three colours: black with graphite stainless steel, lunar white with soft gold stainless steel or orchid with platinum stainless steel.
Unlike traditional fitness trackers for grown-ups, the Fitbit Ace 3 doesn’t show stats like calories burned. Instead, it encourages kids ages six and up to get moving with fun achievements that are unlocked through movement. Kids with a competitive streak will love earning virtual badges and trophies as they compete in step challenges with friends and family. It comes in blue and black, as well as a yellow Minions version.
Fitbit’s most advanced health smartwatch, the Fitbit Sense has just about every feature you could want—at a premium price. Aside from built-in GPS, Fitbit Pay and Google Assistant, its biggest draws are its extensive health readings. It has an ECG app to track your heart rhythm and EPA Scan app to assess your body’s response to stress. It’s available in black and lunar white with soft gold stainless steel.
A slim, lightweight fitness tracker, the Fitbit Charge 5 is a great choice for any athlete. It’s water-resistant up to 50 metres, making it the perfect companion for water workouts, and has built-in GPS so you can track distance and pace on swims, runs or bike rides without needing your phone. It also has extra sensors for your oxygen levels, skin temperature, heart rate and rhythm, plus an EDA scan for stress management. The result? You get a better picture of your overall health. Choose from black, lunar white and steel blue.
