As effortlessly cool and refreshingly subtle as the new Fitbit Air can be, I know for a fact most wearable device users still prefer a product with a screen. And as incredibly generous and outstandingly expansive as Amazon's recent Prime Day event was, the e-commerce giant is somehow selling one of the best activity trackers in the world at an even lower price right now (and with no strings attached anymore).

Obviously, the Fitbit Charge 6 is getting a little long in the tooth to still be topping the summer shopping lists of the most tech-savvy Google fans out there. But with no news (or even credible rumors) of an impending sequel and a whopping 52 percent slashed off its $159.95 regular price, this thing certainly deserves to be considered as an ultra-affordable alternative to the likes of the Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Watch 3, Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, or Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.

$84 off (52%)

With a large and high-quality touchscreen in tow, incredible 7-day battery life, access to a bunch of popular Google apps, and a number of useful health monitoring tools, the Fitbit Charge 6 defies its advanced age to become an unmissable summer 2026 bargain at a 52 percent discount in a gold/red color combo. The all-black model is pretty attractive too at 47 percent off its list price.

Technically, of course, you're not looking at a full-blown Apple Watch Series 11 rival for Android smartphone owners here. But there are very few things the best smartwatches around can do and Google's Fitbit Charge 6 cannot. Yes, you can keep an eye on your heart rate, sleep quality, several dozen different types of exercises and activities, as well as your general wellness and fatigue levels at a fraction of the Pixel Watch 4's price. And you can even use popular apps like Google Maps, Wallet, and YouTube Music on your wrist on an almost surprisingly large and high-quality touchscreen. But the cherry on top has to be the epic 7-day battery life rating.

Granted, some sophisticated sensors present on the aforementioned Galaxy Watch 8 or Apple Watch Series 11 are absent here, but that's where the lower retail price and this huge new discount come in.

The 52 percent (or $84) price cut, mind you, only applies to a... love-it-or-hate-it model with a glitzy gold case and similarly eye-catching red band, but a similarly impressive $74.50 (or 47 percent) discount can be claimed on an all-black version with no Prime membership required or any other special conditions. These deals are simply too good to turn down if you're a wearable device buyer on a tight budget this summer!

$90

$210

$120 off (57%)

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
