The best fitness tracker deal for Presidents’ Day is actually on a 6-year-old Fitbit – here’s why

The best Fitbits are the brand’s more advanced devices, and not much more expensive than the Fitbit Inspire 2 I’m about to recommend to you. They have features the Inspire 2 does not, and sometimes these features are worth the price of admission, such as the ECG functionality – if you have heart issues, this is key, as it can alert you if your heart rate is too high.

However, the reason I’m recommending the older, less advanced Fitbit Inspire 2 is that it’s an unbeatable value prosposition. Why, you ask? Because it’s the last Fitbit device still on sale that comes with a whole year of Fitbit Premium – all other modern Fitbits net you just six months.

While the Inspire 2 isn’t discounted per se, the device and the year’s free trial, are cheaper than the Premium subscription itself.

Fitbit Premium is a first-class fitness app offering guided workouts, recipes and meditation classes, more advanced ways to categorize and view your data, extra information such as sleeping heart rate, and features like the Daily Readiness Score. It costs $9.99/month or $119.88 annually.

The Fitbit Inspire 2 costs just $83.99 at Amazon. Despite its age, it’s still a good set-and-forget fitness tracker to count steps, calories and heart rate, and you get a whole year’s worth of Premium for free. However, this deal only lasts while the Inspire 2 is in stock, as they’re not made any more.

We gave Fitbit Premium 4.5 stars in our Fitbit Premium review, saying “Fitbit offers tremendous value for money given the huge number of features included. Fitbit Premium is well laid out in the Fitbit app, with glanceable data available throughout the day.”

If the Inspire 2 is out of stock, or you’re an existing Premium user and unable to take advantage of the offer, you can check out these Presidents’ Day Fitbit deals instead.
