Most stylish: Fitbit Luxe $120

For a high-style fitness wearable, the Fitbit Luxe is a great pick — and it's on sale right now for only $120. The vibrant color touchscreen displays the time, plus health data, like 24/7 heart rate, sleep tracking and breathing rate. It also tracks workouts and stress levels, and provides call and text notifications. The Luxe comes in orchid, black or lunar white and the bands can be upgraded with a variety of chic options, including stainless steel mesh and a link bracelet.

One exercise-resistant reviewer says the Luxe actually got them moving more: “I’ve been using the Fitbit Luxe and...seeing a snapshot of my week...All the data was eye-opening enough as to where my problem areas were. Gave me enough motivation to try at least two 5-10 minute workouts a day from the Fitbit mobile app — in addition to getting at least 10,000 steps. So far I’m very pleased and am going to stick with it!”

One reviewer, said at 71, "With the knowledge I have gained from my Fitbit I have lost weight, sleep better and feel better...The app is a must for me. I can control my stress better with the heart rate function and the stress management programs in the app. Very pleased I invested in myself!"

Best for kids: Fitbit Ace 3 $60

With animated watch faces, an eight day battery life, on-screen celebrations and virtual badges, the Ace 3 is the Fitbit for kids. It comes in yellow, blue or black and red and still tracks all the same data as the adult versions – all-day activity tracking, bedtime reminders, silent alarms and sleep tracking. caretakers and parents can manage the device and their own from a single location. Kids can send messages and challenge family members for fitness goals. Plus, the Ace 3 is waterproof up to 50 meters so it’ll still work in the shallow end.

One reviewer with a twelve-year old says “My daughter joined cross country and we wanted a way to track her running and activity levels. This was perfect for her. She normally hates wearing any type of jewelry but has not had a problem with this. She sleeps with it and it doesn’t bother her. It tracks her sleep and lets us know how well she slept…It’s very lightweight and sturdy.”

Best for use with smart devices: Fitbit Versa 3 $180

If you already have a smart device with Alexa in your home — like an Echo Show — you'll be pleased to see how well the Fitbit Versa 3 integrates with that system. You can speak into your watch to get news, set alarms, make reminders and control smart home devices. You can also use the Versa 3 to take Bluetooth calls and play music from Deezer, Pandora or Spotify. And of course, it's still a fully functional fitness tracker for biking, hiking, walking and more. It also measures heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

One reviewer, a widow who wanted to start walking again after her husband's passing, said she found an additional unexpected benefit: "Here's another great plus for the watch. I wear hearing aids and when my phone was in my handbag I couldn't hear it ringing. With the Fitbit, it pulsates on my wrist to let me know if I have a message, notification or if the phone is ringing. So if you have a hearing disability, this watch is great."

Best stress-buster: Fitbit Sense $200

The Fitbit Sense measures your nightly blood oxygen levels, sends alerts if your heart rate strays from your average measurements, detects electrodermal activity (EDA) to measure your body’s response to stress and even assesses your heart for atrial fibrillation (heart rhythm irregularity). In addition, it features a sizable screen, six days of battery life, built-in GPS and access to digital assistants like Alexa.

The Sense has over 16,000 five-star reviews from happy customers. One pleased user declares “This thing is a life changer…the EDA, mood and calming exercises are very good. I use them every day before and after work. I also get EDA pings when my heart rate spikes and I can easily pinpoint what caused my stress. The calorie database and the ability to scan a barcode makes tracking your calories so easy. I’ve only had mine for two weeks and I already lost 2.8lbs.”
