Our top fitness tracker is back to its lowest-ever price for rare Prime Day deal

We’re here with Prime Day 2025 and it feels like a new era. The event is longer, which can make it feel a bit like Black Friday. Another thing making it look like Black Friday? Our top pick among the best fitness trackers — the Fitbit Charge 6 — is back to its rarely-seen Black […]

We’re here with Prime Day 2025 and it feels like a new era. The event is longer, which can make it feel a bit like Black Friday. Another thing making it look like Black Friday? Our top pick among the best fitness trackers — the Fitbit Charge 6 — is back to its rarely-seen Black Friday pricing. Usually $160, you can now get a Fitbit Charge 6 for just $100 if you’re an Amazon Prime member. (If you’re not, and still want to save the $60, you can easily sign up with an Amazon Prime free trial.) Just tap the button below to see the offer for yourself, making sure to make your purchase before Prime Day ends this Friday.

Why you should buy the Fitbit Charge 6

The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the best Fitbits around and it’s pretty easy to see why. For starters, it has nearly a week of battery life (something even most of the best smartwatches can’t offer you) despite its slender, almost bracelet-like presentation. Its AMOLED screen is bright and colorful, though highly readable. And that’s before we even get to its health-tracking tools and upgraded heart rate sensor, more accurate than those on any other Fitbit made before it. As our Fitbit Charge 6 review highlights, this device is comfortable and powerful, and perhaps far more so than its price tag suggests. Our reviewer said “I often forgot I was wearing the Fitbit Charge 6.” in large part due to comfort, but there’s also the fact that some fitness modes are automatically switched to, such as running and walking, so you don’t have to constantly think about your fitness tracker.

If you want this great deal that cuts $60 off of the Fitbit Charge 6’s price, dropping it to just $100 from $160, be sure to tap the button below and order yours now. It’s a rare deal, only ever coming out around Black Friday previously, so if you ignore this deal now it could be months and months before you see a price like this on the Charge 6 again.

Best Prime Day smartwatch and fitness tracker deals: My 16 favorite sales live now

When is Amazon Prime Day 2025? 

Amazon Prime Day takes place from July 8 through July 11 this year. This is when the retailer cuts deals on thousands of products, mostly ones it owns (think Kindle, Ring, and Alexa). To get in on the deals hype, other brands will discount their products during Prime Day to boost overall sales. 

Are health trackers really cheaper on Prime Day? 

I’ve seen some sweet discounts on health trackers during my time as an editor covering these events. We’ve seen record savings on tech, including Apple Watches and Oura Rings. 

Should I buy a smartwatch or a smart ring?

A smartwatch functions as a health tracker and an around-the-wrist companion to your phone. You can answer texts, set timers, ask the smartwatch’s AI assistant questions and more with an Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch, or Garmin. It will record your exercise and sleep and deliver that through the smartwatch’s health app, as well as on your phone’s health app. A smart ring is a little different. It doesn’t have a screen, so it won’t distract you throughout the day with pings or messages. All of the data it collects is displayed on your phone. If a smartwatch is a lifestyle wearable with health functionalities, a smart watch is a health-centered wearable. 

How did we choose these Prime Day deals?

I cover health wearables for my job, and I’m particular about the products I like and don’t like. If something isn’t worth my while, I’m not writing about it. The same goes for these deals. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. 

We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. 

What are the best Prime Day deals so far?

Highlights

  • Landmark multi-year agreement strengthens UFC GYM and MMA.INC alliance, supporting the global rollout of 45 new gyms in 2025 and accelerating the expansion of UFC GYM’s high-growth BJJ program—powered by MMA.INC’s category-leading software.

  • Builds on MMA.INC and UFC GYM’s broader strategic partnership to integrate the Warrior Training Program across a network of 150+ locations worldwide.

New York, NY, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (NYSE American: MMA) (“MMA” or the “Company”), an NYSE American listed innovator at the intersection of combat sports and digital transformation, has announced an expansion of its strategic technology partnership with UFC Gym Group who are selecting BJJLink.com as the official gym management software platform for all new UFC GYM BJJ franchise studios.

This extension of the existing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) agreement follows UFC GYM’s landmark global expansion announcement in February and solidifies a deeper alignment between UFC GYM’s fast-growing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program and MMA.INC’s category-leading gym software. This announcement capitalizes on the growth in BJJ, reinforced by UFC’s recent launch of their new premier BJJ live event series, UFC BJJ 1.

BJJLink.com, powered by MMA.INC’s Martial Arts Technology, will serve as the digital backbone of UFC GYM’S new BJJ franchise studios. Designed specifically for martial arts-first businesses, the platform equips franchisees with a modern, all-in-one operating system that streamlines member management, drives revenue, and unlocks new monetization opportunities. Key features include:

  • Mobile check-in and self-service kiosk systems to reduce front-desk friction and enhance member experience
  • Curriculum and belt progression management with digital tracking tools aligned to structured programs

  • Payment infrastructure, including recurring billing, retail sales and a customizable in-app transaction layer that supports Stripe and a growing list of other global processors
  • Referral tracking and affiliate logic to power grassroots growth and incentive campaigns
  • Built-in CRM and e-commerce automation, enabling franchisees to engage leads, sell merchandise, and convert visitors, all from one centralized platform

Under the terms of the expanded agreement, UFC GYM franchisees will gain access to BJJLink Admin+, a powerful all-in-one platform designed to simplify operations and drive growth. UFC GYM BJJ Studio Franchisees will benefit from streamlined class scheduling, automated billing, digital curriculum tools, and built-in referral tracking, removing administrative overhead and enabling staff to focus on member experience. Standardized pricing across locations and centralized reporting through a master admin dashboard provide both flexibility and oversight, helping franchisees scale confidently while staying aligned with brand standards.

“The BJJLink platform offers an intuitive and powerful back-end that empowers our coaches and BJJ studio franchisees to focus on what matters most, training and community,” said Adam Sedlack, CEO of UFC GYM. “This agreement gives us the technical scalability and operational consistency needed to support our ambitious rollout of new BJJ studios globally.”

The new UFC GYM BJJ studios, purpose-built spaces dedicated to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, are part of UFC GYM’s mission to redefine fitness and martial arts for modern athletes. The brand plans to open more than 45 new gyms in 2025, with many of the BJJ-first models ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet and featuring advanced mat spaces, recovery zones, and family-friendly programming.

“This extension validates our shared belief that the future of martial arts training is both physical and digital,” said Nick Langton, CEO of MMA.INC. “We’re proud to be the technology engine behind UFC GYM’s BJJ studio model and to deepen our long-standing relationship with the preeminent name in martial arts training.”

BJJLink is already used by hundreds of martial arts academies around the world and has seen increased demand from franchise operators seeking more streamlined onboarding, revenue analytics, and student engagement tools.

MMA.INC and UFC GYM intend to co-launch the new BJJLink-powered UFC GYM BJJ studio software at select international locations during H2 of 2025.

MMA.INC’s recently announced an international push, expanding BJJLink into Latin America and launching a marquee partnership with Gracie Allegiant HQ and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legend Clark Gracie.
