It's not as good as the one-year Inspire 2 subscription, but the new features are probably just enough to justify getting the updated model.Īlthough now superseded by the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6, which is currently sitting pretty at number three in this listing, the Mi Smart Band 5 features a new, brighter screen, 24/7 activity tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, 11 different sport modes, and the ability to record outdoor cardio sessions by connecting to your phone's GPS. Like other Fitbit devices, this cheap fitness tracker comes with a free one-year subscription to Fitbit Premium, which gives you access to instructor-led workouts, meditation sessions, and nutrition plans. You can check these out later in the Fitbit app and even sync them to other apps like Strava. The Fitbit Inspire 3 doesn't have its own built-in GPS chip, but it can piggyback on your phone's GPS to accurately track and map runs, walks and bike rides as long as they aren't too far apart. It can guide you through breathing exercises, score your cardio fitness level, and track your sleep stages each night. The Inspire 3 measures steps and heart rate throughout the day, and the Fitbit Inspire 3 also tracks heart rate variability and stress, how long you spend in different heart rate zones during workouts, and your breathing rate.

Otherwise, read on for our pick of the best cheap fitness trackers. If you’re interested in more features beyond fitness tracking, like apps, notifications and more, you might be better suited to one of the best smartwatches instead. The only major difference between these cheap fitness trackers and a more expensive option is that you may have to pick and choose the feature that’s most important to you. Although if you’re serious about running, then we’d recommend you take a look at the best running watches instead. Many offer always-on heart rate and some have built-in GPS that makes them ideal for running. The data you can track will differ between each device too.

Whether we think they’re easy-to-use for beginners, incredibly comfortable or have a superior battery life. You won’t get all of the advanced tech or high-end features in the best cheap fitness trackers, but we’ve tested a huge range of trackers and smartwatches over the years and have picked each option in this list for a reason.
