If you\u2019re looking to go beyond that, you need a solid fitness smartwatch in your life. Google\u2019s Fitbit options are some of the best no-fuss, easy-to-use models out there, and we just found a way to pick one up for less.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1012\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon is currently offering the Fitbit Versa 4 for $120, after taking a whopping 40% off its $200 price tag<\/a>. All three color options, including Black, Pink, and Waterfall Blue, are discounted. You\u2019ll also get a two-month free trial for Audible, plus a 6-month Fitbit Premium membership with your purchase, which adds even more value to the offer!<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1012\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Plenty of Health and Fitness Features<\/p>\n<p>Looks-wise, it\u2019s pretty similar to the Versa 3. You\u2019re getting a thin, lightweight design that makes the watch easy to wear for longer, and even at night. The large display is fairly bright, making it easy to keep an eye on your stats without squinting. Health features include a daily Stress Management Score, reflection logging, SpO2, guided breathing sessions, menstrual health tracking, and more. You\u2019ll be able to access most of these on the Fitbit app, instead of the watch, so it\u2019s essential to have that downloaded for a more comprehensive experience.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s meant to be worn 24\/7, since it also does a great job of tracking how well you\u2019re resting at night. It monitors your sleep stages, creates a personalized Sleep Profile for you, and shares a Sleep Score every morning with detailed insights. These include the overall sleep duration, the time you spent in deep and REM sleep, and any signs of restlessness during the night. There\u2019s even a smart alarm that wakes you up gently with softer vibrations on your wrist.<\/p>\n<p>Fitness-wise, there\u2019s a built-in GPS, workout intensity map, all-day activity tracking, and 24\/7 heart rate monitoring. You can log over 40 exercises, such as cardio, strength training, cycling, hiking, and more. Plus, since it\u2019s also designed to be water resistant to 50 meters, those underwater sports should be no problem, as well. The Daily Readiness Score takes your heart rate, physical activity, and sleep into account to tell you if it\u2019s a good day to push your limits or if it\u2019s better to take a day off.<\/p>\n<p>When connected to your phone, you will be able to take calls, reply to messages, manage songs, and view important notifications; all from your wrist. Contactless payments support makes it easy to shop on the go, completely cashless. And finally, the battery life is designed to last over 6 days on a single charge, which means you can easily go a week without worrying about plugging it in. The included 6-month Premium membership lets you enjoy personalized insights, advanced analytics, guided programs, and more, without paying anything extra. As a long-term Fitbit user, I can tell you that you\u2019ll need the membership to unlock all the features and get the most out of your device. Getting half a year for free is a great value.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1012\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This is one of the lowest we have seen the Fitbit 4 drop to in a long while. If you\u2019ve been after a solid smartwatch that doesn\u2019t cost an arm and a leg, now is the time to make the move<\/a>. All color options are discounted, so you have options to choose from. Be sure to do it fast, as drops this massive tend to wrap up soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1012\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The step or calorie tracker on your phone can only provide so much insight into your wellbeing and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[64,63,213,105],"class_list":["post-327794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-gadgets","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
