Current Fitbit Prices by Model

Fitbit devices range from about $100 to $300, depending on the model and features. The Fitbit Inspire 3, their entry-level tracker, costs around $100. The Fitbit Charge 6, which adds a larger screen and more detailed health tracking, runs roughly $160 to $180. The Fitbit Sense 2, their premium smartwatch with stress management and ECG features, costs around $300.

Prices vary slightly by retailer and whether you buy during a sale. Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and the official Fitbit website all carry current models, and prices sometimes drop during holiday sales or clearance events. If you're looking at older models that Fitbit has discontinued, you may find them cheaper on resale sites, but they won't receive the latest software updates.

Fitbit also offers a subscription service called Fitbit Premium, which costs about $10 per month or $80 per year. This adds personalized insights, guided workouts, and detailed sleep analysis—but the basic tracker itself works without it.

Key Takeaways

  • Entry-level Fitbit trackers start around $100, while premium smartwatches reach $300.
  • The Fitbit Charge 6 at $160–$180 is the most popular mid-range option for people who want detailed health data without paying for the top model.
  • Prices are lowest on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, and occasionally drop during seasonal sales.
  • Fitbit Premium subscription ($10/month or $80/year) is optional and adds advanced features but is not required to use the device.

What You Get at Each Price Point

At $100, the Inspire 3 tracks steps, heart rate, sleep, and calories burned. It has a small rectangular screen, lasts about 10 days on a charge, and syncs with your phone via Bluetooth. It's designed for people who want basic activity tracking without extra features.

At $160–$180, the Charge 6 adds a larger AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS (so you don't need your phone to track running routes), stress management tools, and more detailed workout modes. The battery lasts about 7 days. This is the model most people choose because it balances price and capability.

At $300, the Sense 2 includes everything the Charge 6 has, plus an ECG app (which can detect irregular heart rhythms), skin temperature tracking, and a larger screen. It's aimed at people who want comprehensive health monitoring or prefer a smartwatch look over a fitness band.

Where to Buy and How to Find the Best Price

Fitbit devices are sold at major electronics retailers, department stores, and online. Amazon often has the lowest prices and fastest shipping. Best Buy and Walmart match or beat Amazon's prices regularly. The official Fitbit website sometimes offers bundles (like a device plus a year of Premium) that can save money if you plan to use the subscription.

Prices drop most often during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and back-to-school sales. If you're not in a hurry, waiting for these events can save $20 to $50. Costco occasionally stocks Fitbit devices at a discount if you have a membership, though selection is limited.

Refurbished models sold directly by Fitbit or authorized retailers are another option—they typically cost 20 to 30 percent less than new and come with a warranty, though stock is unpredictable.

What Affects the Total Cost

The device itself is only part of the cost. If you want Fitbit Premium, add $10 per month or $80 per year. Some people also buy replacement bands or watch faces, which range from $15 to $40 each, though the device comes with at least one band included.

You don't need to pay for anything else to use a Fitbit. The app is free, syncing is free, and basic health tracking works without a subscription. Premium adds personalized coaching and deeper analytics, but it's optional.

Fitbit vs. Other Fitness Trackers at Similar Prices

Fitbit's main competitors at similar price points are the Apple Watch (starting around $250), Garmin fitness watches ($150–$400), and budget trackers like Xiaomi Mi Band ($30–$60). Apple Watch integrates tightly with iPhones but costs more. Garmin excels at GPS and outdoor sports tracking. Xiaomi is cheaper but has fewer features and less reliable customer support in the US.

Fitbit sits in the middle: more affordable than Apple Watch, simpler than Garmin, and more reliable than budget brands. If you use an iPhone, an Apple Watch may sync more smoothly. If you run or hike seriously, Garmin's GPS and battery life are better. For general activity tracking and sleep monitoring, Fitbit is a solid choice at the price.

How Long a Fitbit Lasts and Resale Value

Most Fitbit devices last 2 to 4 years with normal use before the battery degrades or the device fails. Fitbit offers a one-year limited warranty on new devices. After that, repairs are not available—you'd need to replace the device.

Used Fitbits sell for 30 to 50 percent of their original price on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Swappa, depending on age and condition. Older models (more than 3 years old) are harder to sell because Fitbit stops sending software updates after a certain point. If you think you might resell, buying a popular model like the Charge 6 is safer than a niche model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Fitbit under $100?

The Inspire 3 is Fitbit's cheapest current model at around $100. Older discontinued models like the Inspire 2 sometimes appear on resale sites for $60–$80, but they won't receive new software updates and may have battery issues.

Do I have to pay for Fitbit Premium to use the device?

No. The device tracks steps, heart rate, sleep, and workouts without Premium. Premium adds personalized coaching, advanced sleep analysis, and guided workouts, but basic tracking is free.

Can I use a Fitbit with an Android phone and an iPhone?

Yes. Fitbit devices sync with both Android and iOS via the Fitbit app. You can switch phones and keep the same device. Apple Watch only works with iPhones, so Fitbit is more flexible if you switch platforms.

Are Fitbits waterproof?

Fitbit devices are water-resistant, meaning they can handle sweat and brief water exposure (like washing hands). Most models are safe to wear while swimming, but check the specific model's specs—some are rated for shallow water only.

Where is the cheapest place to buy a Fitbit?

Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy usually have the lowest prices and match each other. Prices drop most during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Costco occasionally has discounts if you have a membership, but selection is limited.
