While I’m mostly just hoping my Mom sees this article, you can bet a lot of fitness fanatics feel the same: I’d love a Fitbit Charge 6 for Christmas, and now is a great time to pick one up.
The Fitbit Charge 6 is the most recent offering from Fitbit and has been reduced across a range of stores for Black Friday. Although it only came out a month ago, it’s great to see that Fitbit hasn’t excluded it from the black Friday sales.

You’ll also be able to pair the tracker to third-party equipment, which is great news for Peloton, NordicTrack, and Tonal fans. If you pick one up today you’ll also get a 6-month free Premium membership, but…
