CNET has rated the Fitbit Charge 4 the best all-round fitness tracker of 2020 for its low price, slim design, functional and modern straps, and a strong feature set, including GPS and sleep tracking.
While it doesn’t have a full-color screen like most smartwatches, the small design makes it convenient to wear 24/7, and the battery life lasts for about four days, or seven if you turn off the GPS. If you’re looking for a fitness tracker for someone who’s not using it yet, this is a great buy. Read our Fitbit Charge 4 review.

If you are looking to buy a fitness tracker for a child, this is your best option. The Ace 2 is designed for children ages 6 and up to help them stay active with special challenges. It’s waterproof so kids can wear it while swimming, tracks sleep like other Fitbits, and has alerts when your kid gets a phone call as long as they carry a smartphone with them too.

The Samsung Watch 3 has top-of-the-line health features, including sensors that can perform an ECG and measure your blood oxygen levels. The sleek design doesn’t scream “smart watch” and it’s compatible with both Android and iPhone, making a great gift for anyone.
The 41mm model costs $ 340 and the 45mm model costs $ 370.

If you want to save more than a few dollars and get a Samsung Galaxy Watch that has almost the same functions as the Galaxy Watch 3, get the Active 2. It was recently updated in 2020 to include the ECG function, plus it can measure your VO2 max and has fall detection.
It’s a bit smaller than the Watch 3 and according to our review it’s more comfortable to sleep in if you want to use it for sleep tracking.
Fossil

One of our favorite Fitbits, the Versa 2 is on sale this Black Friday at Best Buy. It’s a near-perfect combination of a fitness tracker and smartwatch, with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant on board, at a great price. Of course, this is last year’s model, so the addition of GPS, Google Assistant, and a few extras is missed. Still, we think the Versa 2 is a worthy buy.
This deal begins November 22 at Best Buy and will also be available at Walmart on November 25.
