Best Fitbit fitness tracker 2022: Which Fitbit is right for you?

Fitbit has been around for years, sitting at the top of its activity tracking class, smugly watching as its competitors hope to raise the same sort of brand awareness. For many, a fitness band is simply called "a Fitbit" - such has been the impact of this company - and it's now been bought by Google, to add to its power.

We've broken down each of the Fitbit trackers, looking at how much each costs, what features it offers and why you might consider buying each one. This list is all about helping you work out which Fitbit will suit you and your lifestyle best.

Quick summary 

The Fitbit Inspire 2 is the cheapest fitness tracker in Fitbit's offering. It offers all-day sleep and activity tracking, smartphone notifications, interchangeable straps and heart rate tracking. There's a touchscreen display, it's swim proof and there's automatic exercise recognition too, as well as Active Zone Minutes, Quick Replies for Android users and a 10-day battery life.

The Fitbit Inspire 3 succeeds the Inspire 2, offering a refined design, whilst adding an SpO2 sensor, high and low heart rate notifications and an Always On Display mode. There's also a colour touchscreen and all the same features as the Inspire 2.

The Fitbit Luxe is a fashion-focused tracker, offering a premium design and coloured touchscreen, along with all the same features as the Inspire 3, except high and low heart rate notifications. It has stress management but there's only a five day battery life.

The Fitbit Charge 5 has everything the Luxe does, but it adds NFC for Fitbit Pay, built-in GPS, Spotify control and has an ECG app so it's better at accurately tracking workouts as a standalone device. There's a seven day battery life, falling in between the Luxe and Inspire.

The Fitbit Versa 2 moves into smartwatch territory. It offers most of what the Charge 5 has, but it adds apps and built-in Alexa. There's no built-in GPS or ECG app, but the Versa 2 has phone-free music.

The Fitbit Versa 3 is an upgrade to the Versa 2, adding Google Assistant as an option on top of Alexa, a built-in speaker for taking calls, Pure Pulse 2.0 heart rate technology and most importantly, built-in GPS.

The Fitbit Versa 4 offers all the same features as the Versa 3, but it has a refreshed design, whilst also offering Google Maps and Google Wallet support. 

The Fitbit Sense has the same design as the Versa 3 and the same features, but it offers extra sensors, including with an EDA sensor for monitoring stress, the ability to take an ECG and a skin temperature sensor.

The Fitbit Sense 2 is the successor to the Sense with most of the same features, but it has a refreshed design that matches the Versa 4, whilst also offering Google Maps, Google Wallet, and all-day body response tracking for stress.

The Google Pixel Watch is a fully-fledged smartwatch that runs Google's Wear OS platform, but with Fitbit health features. It misses off some features compared to the Sense 2, but it offers more smartwatch functions.
