I've had my eyes peeled for a deal on the Fitbit Charge 6 for the last few months, with little success. As it's one of the best Fitbits, there are hardly ever any Fitbit deals that include this beginner- and budget-friendly device.

But as often happens, Black Friday has arrived and come through with some excellent savings across the whole range of Fitbits, from the Versa 4 to the Google Pixel Watch 3. While I'd recommend either of these if you're looking for a smartwatch, the Fitbit Charge 6 is the one I recommend to those looking for fitness, sleep, and stress insights in 2026.

While the Fitbit Inspire 3 is normally the cheapest Fitbit (and even more so today, where it's just £52 at Argos), the Fitbit Charge 6 is the only fitness tracker I'd recommend this week under £100, as the deal is too good to dismiss.

With a saving of just over £51 on the neutral shades, this is the best deal on the Fitbit Charge 6 today. Originally taken down to just under £100, this new saving landed very recently.

A quick review of the Fitbit Charge 6

The Fitbit Charge 6 is the newest Fitbit, created after Google bought out the brand and blended its advanced technology with Fitbit's know-how in the world of health monitoring, so you know it's going to be a good one.

Its simple rectangular design hides its incredible functions. You can receive specific insights into your favourite activity with over 40 workout modes to choose from. So, for example, if you like running, you'll get your distance, pace, and time metrics right there on your wrist as you move, with even more data available after your workout in the Fitbit app.

In the gym, you can connect your Fitbit Charge 6 to a selection of machines via Bluetooth and receive distance and speed insights straight to your watch. In my experience, this tends to be considerably more accurate than what a fitness tracker would record on its own. As brilliant as many of them are, they struggle to log movement data during stationary activities. Not this watch. For this reason (and many more, it was named top three in our selection of the best running watches).

When you go to sleep at night, you can wear your watch and receive advanced insights into your sleep, including sleep duration, the quality of that sleep, and the mixture of sleep types you had (light, deep, and REM).

Looking to lower your stress levels before Christmas? The Fitbit Charge 6 has an EDA Scan app, which measures the body's response to stress and provides a daily Stress Management Score. This score is created with data from your sleep, workouts, and heart rate to reveal how well you've coped that day - and if there is room for improvement.

To get the most out of this Fitbit, I'd recommend upgrading to Fitbit Premium. This is the advanced version of the app. It delivers more exercise, sleep, and stress insights that can genuinely help you make changes to your lifestyle. It also doubles up as one of the best workout apps, with videos from the likes of Les Mills and Davina McCall available at the touch of a button. It's also only available in three colours: black, bright coral, and white.

That being said, I've tested plenty of fitness trackers over the last five years as woman&home's digital health editor, and this is still one of the best Fitbits and overall fitness trackers around today. It covers all the bases and more. Even outside of the sales season, it's a seriously good bargain at £139.99 RRP, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this saving.

How does this Fitbit Charge 6 deal compare to others?

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this one in the Black Friday shopping season. While I've spotted lots of deals in the Garmin sale, none even come close to this low price tag.

But I have dug out a few other deals that could be worth looking at...
