If you’re looking for a tracker specifically for intensive athletic training, this option lacks built-in GPS, but otherwise it performs all the necessary fitness tracking and phone tasks.
What the experts say: TechRadar writes: “With the Versa 2, Fitbit proves that less is more.

The Fitbit Versa 2 is currently $130, or 35 percent off the normal price..
