Fitbit Sense is so cheap on Black Friday – particularly in America – that it is now a very viable alternative to the Versa 3, which is usually much cheaper.
This is such a good deal, one might even say it's the best Cyber Monday Fitbit deal. That said, the Fitbit Charge 5 is the cheapest ever at Amazon now, too, so it depends on what your fitness goals are. Fitness smartwatches such as the Sense are a bit more robust and feature-rich and have a bigger screen to look at. Fitness trackers like the Charge 5 are more subtle.
Want to be in the know about all the best Fitbit deals? We've got you covered. You might as well check out the list of the best Garmin deals, best Bowflex deals and best fitness deals in general, for both Black Friday and beyond.

Why should you buy the Fitbit Sense on Black Friday
The Sense represents a change in the direction Fitbit is taking its wearables. It's more than just a step tracker; as a matter of fact, it's a full-fledged health smartwatch on par with watches such as the Withings Scanwatch and even the Apple Watch SE.
Another great thing about the Fitbit Sense is that it brought ECG tracking to the masses at a reasonable price and integrated it into the broader Fitbit ecosystem that already included sleep, heart rate and stress monitoring.
Speaking of stress monitoring: the on-wrist EDA Scan app for Sense detects electrodermal activity, which "may indicate your body's response to stress so you can better track and manage it", as Fitbit explains.
It also has an on-wrist skin temperature sensor that is not all that unique anymore (many smartwatches can track this now), but it's good to add this data to the system to have a more holistic overview of your health. The Fitbit Sense has a 6+ day battery life, fast charge and is compatible with iOS 12.2 and Android OS 7.0 or higher operating systems.
