Fitbit is now Google Fitbit. It’s not the most imaginative of name changes, and not one we imagine will stick in consumers’ minds, but the good news is that despite a new name above the door, Fitbits remain some of the most user-friendly and welcoming fitness trackers and smartwatches available. This is especially true if you're just starting out (or reigniting) your fitness journey.
Yes, Fitbit’s dominance has waned in the face of countless alternatives, but their affordable approach, user-friendly interface, and great styling makes them one of the best wearable fitness brands. If you’re looking for a reliable step-counting, sleep-tracking monitor, you’re in for a treat—and thanks to Google’s stewardship, you can now even find a smartwatch with features to rival the competition. Here’s our pick of the best Fitbits, whatever your health, fitness, and wearable needs are.
Updated June 2024: We’ve added the Google Pixel Watch 2, Fitbit Ace LTE, and Fitbit Versa 3.
