Argos shoppers race to buy the latest Fitbit for less than £60

Fitbit has been enjoying early signs of a revival in recent weeks following confirmation from Google that there will be new Fitbit hardware coming out in 2026. Perhaps that's why Argos is currently selling the latest entry-level Fitbit Inspire 3 for a very tempting price of just £59.99 in an early Black Friday sale.

This slim tracker came out in 2022 but it's still the newest model of the Fitbit Inspire line given the brand has opted to improve the tracker with software updates over the last three years instead of replacing it - a move I applaud given we really don't need a new model of every good tech product every year.

£59.99 is a great price for the Inspire 3, which usually costs £84.99. Argos shoppers seem to agree, as when you check out the deal, Argos says it's "in demand" and "selling fast".

It's an excellent tracker even at full price, and I've worn and tested it extensively as part of my test of all the latest Fitbits.

Although it's the cheapest Fitbit, it doesn't lose many features compared to pricier options. The main thing it lacks is built-in GPS, which means it can't track the routes of your runs, cycles or hikes unless you bring your phone with you, as it connects to your phone's GPS.

If this doesn't bother you, then the only other feature I missed on the Inspire compared to other Fitbits was Google Wallet - you can't use the Inspire for contactless payments.

I actually prefer the Inspire's lightweight slim build and feel on my wrist to many smartwatches several times more expensive, especially as the Fitbit tracks my steps, distance, calories, heart rate and sleep when worn 24/7. This is made even easier by the fact the tracker lasts up to 10 days on a single charge - more than any other Fitbit and about five times longer than most Apple Watch models.

It can even track blood oxygen and skin temperature, tools you don't always see on fitness trackers this cheap.

The display is quite small and swiping around on it is fiddly, but it is a colour screen, and you can access key stats easily enough. You can even get your texts to show up on it but I found it too small for that. Instead, I set it to vibrate when I am getting a call so I can leave my phone in my pocket or bag but not miss important calls.

The Inspire 3 can be used with an iPhone or an Android phone thanks to the Fitbit app being available on both platforms. The only thing you can do on Android that you can't on iPhone is send quick replies to texts from your wrist. Otherwise, features across the Fitbit and the app are identical.

You also get six months free access to Fitbit Premium when you buy the Inspire 3, so you can see if you feel Fitbit's paid (£7.99 per month) subscription is for you. It unlocks things such as workout video coaching and deeper insights into your sleep and exercise data.

Argos has the Fitbit Inspire 3 with a black, purple or orange band for £59.99, though the retailer doesn't say how long this deal will last.
