Jawbone Up3 ($110 at Amazon, $70 off)

The Jawbone Up3 adds heart rate tracking that was missing from the less-expensive Up2, but it's not active heart-rate tracking like you might expect: instead, it measures passive and resting heart rate. It's not worth a big upsell over the Up2, but at only $110, we'll gladly buy the Up3.

Garmin Vivofit 2 for $70 at Amazon ($30 off)

The Vivofit 2 has an always-on display, one year of battery life, and can be worn in the shower and the pool. The new model adds a stopwatch mode, a backlight, audible alerts, inactivity alerts and a greatly improved wrist band. And now it's 30 percent off. (Note this is the model without the chest-strap heart-rate monitor.)

Fitbit Charge HR ($120 at Amazon, $30 off)

Great deal on what may well be the best all-around fitness tracker available. The Charge HR was already well priced for its combination of pedometer, sleep tracking and heart rate: now it's a must-get.
