The Fitbit Versa Lite comes in some great colors, and for a limited time you can save $ 60.
Sarah Tew / CNET
The Fitbit brand is synonymous with fitness bands, but the company also offers some wearables that are more like watches. A bigger screen generally means a higher price, but not today: for a limited time and while supplies last, Amazon has the Fitbit Versa Lite for $ 99.95. It normally sells for $ 160; this ties the historical minimum.
You can get the watch at that price in white, blue or blackberry. If you want some additional color options, head over to Best Buy, where the Versa Lite is also on sale for $ 99.95.
As noted, this Fitbit looks like a smart watch, but with many of the great fitness features that Fitbit is known for. You can track your steps, sleep stages, heart rate, and almost every type of exercise (including swimming), even though you have no built-in GPS. If you want super accurate pace and distance information, you will need to bring your phone.
Speaking of which, the Versa Lite It serves all the usual types of notifications: text messages, phone calls, reminders, etc. You can also use the watch to control music playback (play, pause, track skip).
Fitbit promises at least four days of operation before you need to recharge the watch, although that may vary depending on the features you use.
If you’re wondering how this compares to other models on the line, here is your answer: Fitbit Versa Lite vs. Inspire HR vs. Charge 3: Which is the best? Although the Versa Lite wasn’t the best pick in that roundup, remember that comparison was based on its $ 160 retail price.
At $ 100, this is a pretty attractive option.

Set up a simple home gym with this set of resistance bands for $ 15
I wouldn’t know how to look at it, but this is a complete home gym. For $ 15.
Kikilive
In the early days of the pandemic, when everyone was looking for homemade gym alternatives, resistance bands were a popular option, and hard to find. They were also sold at much higher prices than usual.
Fortunately, while the need for a home gym is still there, inflation is not: for a limited time and while supplies last, Amazon seller RuRuYunYe has the Kikilive resistance band set for $ 14.99 with promotional code C25WAQS7. That’s a $ 11 savings, and it also applies to the other two color options. (However, the multi-colored set will cost you $ 2 more.)
The set includes five bands of variable resistance, with two hand grips, two ankle straps, a door anchor and a carrying case. Put them all together and you can do an incredible variety of exercises, not only at home, but anywhere you can travel. (If traveling becomes a thing again)
As home gyms advance, they don’t get much cheaper than this.
