Not only is a great alternative to something like the Apple Watch SE 2, but the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 stands alone as a well-priced yet premium fitness tracker. It has all of the fitness tracking capabilities you’ll find in most smartwatches, but it expands on features such as sleep tracking and workout tracking. It’s able to do each of these automatically and with advanced detail. It’s capable of providing body composition analysis, which will help you crush your wellness goals with body readings right on your wrist. This should be an especially attractive option if you have other Samsung devices, as the Galaxy Watch 4 can slip right into your Samsung device ecosystem.

Google Pixel Watch — $350

A fitness tracker that is a regular competitor for the list of best smartwatches is the Google Pixel Watch.

The Pixel Watch utilizes Fitbit’s tracking technology, so you know you’re getting top notch tracking features with a purchase. It also features the best of Google, including things like Google Wallet for contactless payments, turn-by-turn directions with Google Maps, and event notifications from Google Calendar. You can workout as hard as you like with the Google Pixel Watch, as it has scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass and is water resistant up to 50 meters.

When it comes to uniqueness, there may be nothing higher on the list than the Oura Ring Gen3. While most fitness trackers keep track of your data from your wrist, the Oura Ring does it from your finger. It’s able to monitor your sleep, activity levels, temperature, stress levels, heart rate, and more. Some unique features include things like a Readiness Score, which is a complete holistic picture of your health that takes into account your recent activity, sleep patterns, and key biometric signals. This is a good fitness tracking option for minimalists, or anyone who wants a less obtrusive device than a smartwatch.

Garmin was a pioneer in bringing GPS capabilities to the masses, and it’s packed all of that know-how into the Garmin Forerunner 245 GPS smartwatch. While the Forerunner 265 makes the list of the best fitness trackers, the Forerunner 245 is one of Garmin’s most popular models. It’s loaded with training plans you can take part in, and it can even evaluate your training status to let you know if you’re under training or overdoing it at time. This is a good watch for trail runners and people who get their exercise in the great outdoors, as it has incident detection, which sends your real-time location to your smartphone contacts if it detects an accident.

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
