Trim down and get big savings with Amazon’s 20% sale on the Fitbit Inspire HR

By

Getting the motivation to stay in shape may not be all that easy. Smartwatches may be great in terms of keeping up with the daily grind but if you’re looking for a virtual workout buddy, then a fitness tracker should do just the job. The

Fitbit Inspire HR could just be the most affordable fitness tracker

Fitbit has to offer priced at $100 but Amazon’s 20% sale lets you trim down and get big on savings by making it available for only $80.

The Inspire HR could basically be a slimmed-down and spruced up version of the recent Fitbit Charge 3. It captures Fitbit’s iconic look with rounded edges, a lightweight plastic casing, and two interchangeable silicone straps to fit quite a range of wrist sizes and personalities. It should be easy to find a compatible leather bracelet or metal mesh, for instance. You may find its relatively small build quite limiting as it can only deliver one stat at a time but it sure makes up for it with a highly-responsive OLED touchscreen and an intuitive interface.

Consistent with most fitness trackers, Fitbit’s Inspire HR tracks your steps, calories, distance, sleep, and activity all day for as long as you have it on. And HR wasn’t just affixed for fun, your heart rate is also monitored and works together with your phone’s GPS to account for pace, distance, and the route you took. Apart from SmartTrack that automatically recognizes your workouts, over 15 goal-based exercise modes can be found on the Inspire HR. If plunging in the pool is what gets your endorphins running, it shouldn’t pose as a problem with a water resistance to depths up to 50 meters.

Though it is a fitness tracker in every way, smartphone notifications such as calls, texts, and app alerts should be accessible straight from your wrist with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Notifications on the Inspire HR are limited but you should be able to configure your settings in the accompanying Fitbit App. Moreover, long-term progress tracking, goal-setting, and the ability to connect with friends and family are also possible through the app.

The

Fitbit Inspire HR

is published to have a battery life that can last up to five days but based on our hands-on review, the slick wearable averaged for three days with medium use. Nonetheless, it is a solid bet for those who want to gear up for an active lifestyle without breaking the bank. Get yours now for $20 less than usual on Amazon.

Walmart clearance sale gets you this low-profile Vizio soundbar for $69
vizio sb2020n j6 2 0 channel soundbar walmart july 2023

Every home theater setup will benefit from the addition of a soundbar, as TVs these days are too thin to come with premium speakers. The Vizio SB2020n-J6 2.0-Channel Soundbar is a highly recommended option if you're on a tight budget, or if you want one that's low-profile. It's already affordable at its original price of $80, but Walmart dropped it even further with an $11 discount so you'll only have to pay $69. We're not sure how long this offer will last though, so you need to hurry with your purchase if you're interested.

Why you should buy the Vizio SB2020n-J6 2.0-channel soundbar
Vizio is no stranger to making high-quality soundbars for cheap -- the Vizio M-Series All-in-One is in our roundup of the best soundbars as the top choice for $200 or less -- so you're sure that you won't be disappointed with the Vizio SB2020n-J6 2.0-channel soundbar. According to our guide on how to buy a soundbar, the "2" in its name means the soundbar offers two channels -- left and right -- which is pretty basic, but it makes up for it with its support for DTS Virtual: X, which makes audio more immersive with virtualized 3D sound.

Dell XPS 17 9720 front angled view showing display and keyboard deck.

If you've always liked the look of the Apple MacBook Pro 16 but don't necessarily want to get into the Apple ecosystem, the Dell XPS lineup is Dell's answer and a great alternative. Of course, the XPS laptops also cost quite a bit, but luckily, Dell has a great deal on the XPS 17 for its Black Friday in July sale, bringing it down to $2,999 from $3,549, which is rather substantial.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 17 Laptop
For a laptop that costs just under $3,000, the Dell XPS 17 is powerful and surprisingly versatile, allowing you to game, work, edit, program, and do anything you want. For example, if you're going to game, this version of the Dell XPS 17 has an impressive RTX 4070, which performs similarly to the RTX 3080 with similar pricing and is great for playing games at 2k at 100+ frames. Luckily, the 17-inch screen has a UHD+ resolution so that you can push graphical quality with most games, such as Elden Ring and Diablo 4. The monitor can also hit 500 nits of peak brightness, which means you can use it everywhere except where direct sunlight is hitting the screen.

They were just released last month, but they're already part of this year's Prime Day deals with a $15 discount that makes their already low price of $50 even more affordable, as you can get them for just $35. They're a steal for this cheap, but a lot of shoppers will be thinking that as well, so it's highly recommended that you buy the wireless earbuds right now while stocks are still available.

Why you should buy the third-generation Amazon Echo Buds
The third-generation Amazon Echo Buds are already included in our roundup of the best cheap headphones and earbuds because they come with a price that's tough to beat. There's a lot of technologies that you can find in the best wireless earbuds, like the Apple AirPods Pro 2, that are missing in the Amazon Echo Buds 2023, including active noise cancellation and wireless charging, but for what they cost, they're considered a decent set of wireless earbuds. They even slightly make up for the lack of ANC through a semi-in-ear design that helps reduce noise.
