The Fitbit Charge 5 is a steal at 50 percent off


With nearly a third of 2024 behind us now, you might think it’s out of season to talk about resolutions and fitness goals. But for me, the renewal of the Earth’s vegetation and the prospect of pool parties encourages me to get out and move after a cold, muggy winter. If the same is true for you, a fitness tracker can be a great motivator that can help you chart your progress. Thankfully, Walmart is currently selling the Fitbit Charge 5 starting at just $75, which is 50 percent off and easily one of the best prices we’ve ever seen.
We weren’t big fans of some of Fitbit’s design choices for the last-gen Charge 5. The biggest offender was its lack of a physical navigation button, which made using the finicky touch-based user interface more aggravating. (If that button is important to you, you should be aware that it returned on the newer Charge 6.) It’s a very capable fitness tracker otherwise, though, with up to seven hours of battery life, a colorful always-on display, and built-in GPS — a rare combo at this price. It also offers a comprehensive assortment of advanced health tracking features, including an electrodermal activity sensor to measure stress levels, as well as ECG and SpO2 sensors.
Jabra makes some of the best midrange earbuds on the market, which is probably why we still consider the Jabra Elite 3 some of the best earbuds you can buy for under $100. That said, last year’s Jabra Elite 4 offer a similar listening experience for a slightly higher price, along with active noise cancellation, multipoint Bluetooth support, and other small enhancements. And right now, you can buy them at Amazon, Best Buy, and Jabra’s online storefront for $79.99 ($20 off).
Besides ANC and multipoint — the latter of which enables quicker device switching — the Elite 4 are largely similar to their predecessors. They offer up to seven hours of continuous playback with ANC switched off or up to 5.5 hours with the new feature engaged. You’ll also get 21 hours of extra battery life with the included charging case. Their IP55 rating for dust and water resistance is also the same as the Elite 3, as are the 6mm drivers, which we found to be pretty clear and well-balanced for the budget-friendly price.
