    Buying a Fitbit for someone this year? These are our top picks, complete with accessories.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Fitbit may have had its ups and downs this year, but the word Fitbit is still synonymous with fitness tracker in the same way Google is synonymous with search engine. The best Fitbits are excellent, reliable devices, boasting the same quality as they have for well over a decade.

    If you want a smart step counter from a Fitbit fitness tracker today, no problem. You can have it. But theres much more advanced stuff to see from Fitbit these days, and youll be able to find discounts on almost every kind
    of Fitbit in the Christmas sales , as they make great gifts. A watch like the Fitbit Sense 2 can give your heart a quick check-up to look for signs something might be up, using its ECG sensor. The Fitbit Versa 4 will relay travel directions from Google Maps on your phone.

    And even entry-level Fitbit watches like the Fitbit Inspire 3 make for some
    of the best sleep trackers , monitoring your health and recovery, as its slender profile doesnt bother you overnight. Passive fitness tracking doesnt stop when you head to bed.

    Weve used every single Fitbit product since the companys first back in 2009. Below youll find the picks we tend to recommend most often today. As well as actual Fitbit trackers for folks new to Fitbit, or looking for an upgrade, well offer a few accessory suggestions, should the person youre buying for be perfectly happy with the Fitbit they already own.

    Because wellness matters

    Part health watch, part fitness tracker, part smartwatch: it has a lot going on. Its a specialist at sleep tracking and heart health, and can now deliver Google Maps directions from your phone. You get the classic smartwatch look and feel, but the battery lasts the better part of a week, for that low-maintenance life. Theres no Apple Watch-style App Store, though.

    Small size, big on features

    Almost no fitness trackers fit as many features into such a petite shell. The Charge 6 has full GPS. It has ECG heart rate readings and Fitbits EDA sweat-analyzing stress sensor. All the features, half the price? Kinda, and its screen is bright enough for sunny days too. We dont rate the bands exercise stat accuracy as much as that of some dedicated sports watches, but those just trying to get fitter? Ideal.

    Keep it simple, silly

    Friendly, approachable, and fun. Those are words wed traditionally associate with Fitbits gear, and the Inspire 3 might embody that better than any of its other fitness bands. Sure, it doesnt have GPS, but can snag location data
    from your phone. And if youre here for passive tracking, thats a perfect fit. It monitors your heart rate, sleep, and stress, and its sharp and colorful screen can relay phone notifications well enough too.

    Levelled-up comfort

    The straps included with Fitbits are fine, but they dont make fine
    adjustments possible, and changing the strap tightness can feel fiddly. That melts away with a woven Hook & Loop strap, which uses a velcro-like fastener. This is great for keen exercisers, as you typically want your watch a little tighter during runs or rides to get better heart rate readings. Fitbits version supports the Sense and Versa series, or the Charge 6 & 5 trackers.

    Track your weight loss

    What better accessory to pair with a fitness tracker than a scale that offers another way to gauge your progress? Weight-watching isnt for everyone but
    this smart scale will send readings wirelessly, to automatically be uploaded to the same Google Fit platform that holds your trackers stats. This is a relatively simple smart scale, one without body composition to estimate your muscle mass. But this keeps the price down firmly into acceptable "gift" territory - just make sure giving it won't send the wrong message!

    A stylish premium option

    Fitbit's bands also come in slightly more debonair vegan leather and premium Horween leather options for people who want to switch out the sporty look and opt for something more traditional for daywear. The Fitbit Luxe option above even comes in a cool-looking double-wrap option, to get that slightly more rugged look and feel.
